Recent Happenings

Well a lot has happened in the last 4 months since I updated our blog so I'll do a quick recap in case anyone cares! I finished up my second term of dental hygiene school and managed to get a 4.0 this time! I have made some really great friends and we have so much fun together. We saw patients twice a week and learned soo much! I am now a senior and will be giving a speech at the orientation for the incoming junior class. I am going to run for president in the next couple weeks so we'll see what happens with that. We start preparing to take our national board written examination this term and will take it at the start of our 4th term. I graduate in January so i'm looking forward to all the new and exciting things we are going to learn and the more challenging cases i will see in clinic.

Josh is just about done with his first year of dental school! He is going to be done the day I go back to school so we don't get to have much of a break together but oh well. He was planning to go to officer training this summer but got put on the wait list. He is going to be off until August so he is trying to find things to keep himself busy. He is hoping to build a bathroom vanity to sell and i'm hoping he will remodel our master closet :) He has been doing really well in his classes and has passed all of them. His instructors are extremely impressed with his hand skills and constantly praise him for how well his preps and fillings look. They have even told him that he would pass the boards right now with them. I'm so proud of him and his hard work. It is challenging and stressful but Josh is doing great.

We were able to go to the California Dental Association's annual convention together a couple weeks ago and got lots of free stuff. It was cool to see all the new and exciting things that are happening in our professions.

We have been able to go home a couple times and our families have been out to visit us also. It's nice that we live so close that we can see each other often. His parents just spent the last 6 days with us and we had tons of fun seeing the sights and shopping. I am going to meet my parents in vegas after I help out with the orientation on friday and then its back to school for me monday.

Our lives are crazy busy with school and our church callings but we have a lot of fun and are enjoying every minute of it. We know that this is where we are supposed to be and that we are doing the right thing. Our faith in God continues to grow as we learn to count on him more and more through our trials. We are so blessed to be members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and are overwhelmed at all the blessings in our lives
