Dr. Daniel P. Skinner, MD

i like the sound of that!


dan graduated from the university of arizona medical school may 15th. it was really hard to take pictures inside and from far away - so this is the best we got.

it was kind of surreal to sit there knowing we were done with medical school. it has been our way of life for the majority of our marriage, but we are so excited for the next step: residency and pay checks!

dan's proud parents!
his sister, lindsay, came down to tucson for graduation also and we were so appreciative to have them all there. it was a huge day for dan. following graduation we had a great dinner at el corral, one of our favorite restaurants in tucson, and then stopped for some gelato, at frost, on our way back to mesa.

we started med school as a twosome and ended as a foursome.

the whole group

i keep saying 'we' but really dan deserves all the credit. he worked so hard at school and then came home to a wife and kids and more responsibility. i am so proud of him and all he's accomplished. he was able to persue the specialty of his choice and we will be excited to start dermatology next summer in columbia.

job well done!

i remember your mom at your wedding talking about how crazy it is to be the wife of a doctor and thinking how long it was going to take. I can not believe it's already here! Congrats this is amazing and wonderful, we miss you and love you.
