Chuck FINALLY graduates.... to a 40 hour work week!

After 7 years of hard work, (11 if you count college as well) Chuck has finally completed all of his medical training. Last night was the graduation dinner for all of the graduating residents of the Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital, Family Practice Residency Program. We had a really great time celebrating with all of his other friends and colleagues and we are going to miss them very much. It's been very rewarding to get to see him enjoy going to work every day. Well, ALMOST every day. haha. Chuck is so sad to be leaving that hospital, as he has grown to love the staff and facility very much over the last 3 years as a resident. But he's also excited for his new job ahead in Temecula.

He makes me so proud every day, but I was especially proud of him last night. He is such a wonderful person and it's so nice to see other people giving him recognition for all of his hard work and accomplishments.

Here is a picture of Chuck and I with our friends Maly and Dan Willis. Dan is also a resident as Pres and he will be graduating next year. Yay Dan! You're NEXT!


All of the '07-'08 Presbyterian Hospital Residents, including the 5 graduating residents.


Here is a picture of Chuck and his good friend (and co-chief resident for the year) Ben Birdsall. They were handing out awards to the faculty members. Sorry the picture is of such poor quality. My flash apparently doesn't work very well from across the room.
Proud wife and hubby.
The three Fraleys.


Chuck was very honored to receive two different awards last night. The first one was for the Resident that went "Above and Beyond the Call of Duty." We were so very proud of him. Here is a video of Chuck receiving that award.



None of the residents knew ahead of time who was getting which award, so Chuck was very surprised to receive both of these awards.

Here is the video of Chuck receiving the "Resident Teaching" award. I missed the first part of the presentation so it starts right before they call his name. And yes, that's Ashton crawling around on the floor at the end of the video.




This last video is of Chuck receiving his "Completion of Residency" diploma. YAY CHUCK!! We're all so proud of you!
