Dr. Cox Graduation!


Congratulations, Dr. Jamison Cox! Today BJ graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry. It was a beautiful day and the perfect way to celebrate this momentous achievement.

On the steps of Memorial Hall. Four years ago we stood on these same steps, following BJ's white coat ceremony. Now, four years and a wealth of experiences later, we are on the same steps, closing a chapter of our lives.

We were joined by many family members. It was so wonderful to have a regular cheering section for BJ. The Brothers: David, Dallin, BJ, Damon, and Josh

I'm so proud of this guy! He worked so hard and now, 10 years after our wedding, we are finally finishing school!! 

Through it all, BJ has kept our family top priority, He has come home and spent time with us each night until the kids went to bed. He would stay up late studying so that he could still spend time with our family. Two nights a week he would feed the kids and put them to bed so that I could teach. Then he would wake up early to teach Seminary each morning. He is our hero! 
 
 

Damon and Lety, BJ's brother and sister-in-law drove from Alabama to support BJ. They also gave him a beautiful rose gold watch to commemorate the occasion. 



Thanks to everyone for supporting our family on this very special day. Congratulations Dr. Cox!
