Jack

Meet our new little puppy, Jack Fuzzles! We ADORE him! He is the sweetest little guy and so much fun!! He'll be six weeks old tomorrow! He's half golden retriever and half lab (and both of his parents are pure-bred).

I found Jack yesterday after I went on a sleigh ride in Liberty (up by Eden) with my family! (Jaren couldn't come because he was working.) When I arrived at the place with my family to go for the sleigh ride, I saw a million dogs ahead (more like 8). Before I got out of the car, I had a discussion with my sister and cousin about how much I disliked dogs. But when I got out of the car, none of the dogs jumped or slobbered all over me. They were SO calm and nice! I instantly loved them. One of them rode next to me the whole ride. My uncle was fond of the dogs too, and he started talking to a guy about the dogs and the guy mentioned that they had puppies and there were only 2 left. After the ride, my family and I went to see the puppies.

When I picked one up, I just knew he had to be part of the family! Jaren is always talking about how much he loves puppies and dogs, so I decided to buy one and surprise him! (I know, a very impulsive decision. I'm not normally like this I promise!) I still am in shock that I bought him. I can't believe I really did this! I didn't consult Jaren beforehand because... (a) I REALLY wanted to see the look on his face when I showed up at the house with a puppy-dog, he would NEVER expect me to do that!! and (b) If I called Jaren beforehand, him being the rational person that he is, he might tell me no! (For good reasons, I'm sure). So... I took the risk! I figured if Jaren did get mad it would only last 2 seconds and then he would look at the puppy and love him forever.

When I showed up at the house, I rang our doorbell and Jaren answered by saying, "What IS that?!" (He thought it was a rabbit at first.) Then we stepped into the light and he said, "What did you DO?!" (But with a look on his face that told me he was REALLY happy and excited.) And finally he said, "Unbelievable Sarah. Unbelieveable." (As he's hugging and kissing the puppy.) He was really excited and did not doubt my decision once. He LOVES Jack. He loves him probably more than me, and I love him lots! I was kind of worried because technically we are not supposed to have pets where we live. But I went against better judgement and bought him, I just felt like we needed him. Even Jaren agrees that we need him. Somehow everything will work out!

Jack LOVES to cuddle with us and follows us around everywhere! He is super mellow during the day and loves to sleep. But during the night, he's quite the playful one. He's nocturnal I think. We got NO sleep last night. He barked ALL night at us!! I think Jaren and I got 2-3 hours of sleep total last night. So after Jaren left for work at 4 in the morning, I let Jack come in my room. He curled up in a corner and has slept peacefully all day. What a cutie!! Hopefully he will learn to sleep through the night though!!

Gingerbread Houses and Sweater Party

The Saturday after Thanksgiving Jaren and I got together with his family for our annual tradition of making gingerbread houses! We had so much fun with the whole family!



The snowmen are melting!



Last Saturday Jaren and I went to an ugly sweater Christmas party. You can't really tell... but up close, our sweaters were pretty ugly! We played a lot of Bunko and it was fun to spend time with our friends!

1 Year of Marriage to my Sweetheart!!

On Sunday, November 22nd, Jaren and I celebrated our first year anniversary!! I can hardly believe we have been married for 12 months!! Getting married to Jaren has truly been the best decision I have ever made. My love for him grows each day! It was fun to reflect on our wonderful wedding and what a beautiful day it turned out to be! We also watched our wedding video not long ago. I love these special memories!

For our anniversary, Jaren took me to a session in Salt Lake Temple. Afterwards, we had dinner at The Garden restaurant in the Joseph Smith Building. After having our dinner, when we were getting ready to leave, our waiter told us our meal had already been paid for by someone in the restaurant! What a surprise!! We could hardly believe someone would do something so nice for us... and on our anniversary too!
We stayed overnight in Salt Lake, and then went to Thanksgiving Point the next day. We have always wanted to go to the Museum of Ancient Life, and we had so much fun! What a happy anniversary!!

Update!!

It's been a long LONG time since I wrote!! I just wanted to give an update on what Jaren and I have been up to the past months of October and November!! This is more for my information, because I want to remember these things! So I'm sorry if it gets a little boring!!

October started out a little nerve-wracking! I needed a mock-board patient for our board practice in school. (A mock-board patient has VERY specific requirements... they need LOTS of tartar, no deep pocket depths, and no in-between fillings... and a patient like that is hard to find!) Weeks and weeks went by with no such luck. And then, amazingly, my friend Meagan found two in the same day, and gave one to me! That was so nice of her! Everyone in my class is so nice and helpful! Mockboards came and went and I did ok! I learned a lot and was glad we had the practice! :)

With all the stress from mockboards, my birthday rolled around and I got something I did not want... mono! It was HORRIBLE! I had the WORST sore throat and body aches...and was SO tired all the time! The mono symptoms lasted about 3 weeks, and the tiredness a lot longer, but I'm happy to say I am feeling more like my old self these days!

Speaking of my birthday... Jaren gave me the best present!! He surprised me with a weekend get-away to Park City. (Something we really needed!!) And then when we came home, he surprised me AGAIN with Thriller tickets... and a cake from Cold Stone!!(My favorite... yummy!!) We had SO much fun, and even though I was sick at the time, our birthdays couldn't have gone better!(My birthday is October 7th, and Jaren's is October 8th... we love sharing our birthdays!)

During October, Jaren and I also visited the Logan temple for the first time! It was a gorgeous drive through the canyon, and the temple was beautiful! Afterwards, we ate at one of our favorite places... Firehouse Pizza!

Jaren also had his 3rd annual Soapbox Derby Race! Last year he won the race, but this year his car's wheel gave out... he was pretty disappointed! Oh well... better luck next time!

We made candy apples with our friends the other night, and had a blast! We couldn't find caramel ANYWHERE... so we just rolled our apples around in chocolate and decorated them with candy. Even though there was no caramel, they still turned out yummy! We just may have to make them again!(See picture above... and notice Jaren's overstuffed mouth.)

We're getting really excited for Thanksgiving and the upcoming holidays!... Especially for school to be out! I only have one semester left until I graduate with my Bachelors degree and become an RDH!! Yay!!

Jaren and I also have our one-year anniversary coming up on the 22nd of November! Ah!! I can't even believe it! Time has just flown by! What an amazingly happy year it has been!!

Maxillary Injections

On Friday I gave maxillary injections (aka SHOTS!!!!) for the first time!! I was a little nervous at first, but excited too! Everything went really well... and it was FUN! Abby (my pal at school and my injection partner) and I had a great time! Now I can start giving injections to my patients if they need to be numb for any procedures! This Friday we're giving mandibular injections to each other and I'll try and post some pictures!

As for Jaren... his soccer team won the championship!(Yay!)... and he's doing excellent in school! I'm so proud of him! We're getting excited for our birthdays and the upcoming holidays! We love Fall!

School again...

Tomorrow is my first day of school!... I am not exactly ready for summer to be over, nor do I feel I am quite ready for the challenges that lie ahead in my senior year (do I ever feel ready?)... BUT... I am definitely ready to be done with school, so bring it on!! By this time next year, I'll be giddy with excitement about the upcoming fall season. I won't have any homework and I'll just be happily working. Until then, I'm going to work hard and focus on passing my boards and try to enjoy school even though sometimes all I can do is try. :)

Jaren also starts school tomorrow. The great thing about this semester for him is that he will be working all morning shifts during the week and going to night school. This means we can eat dinner together and see each other during the evening! (Instead of him working until 12 in the morning all the time.) I have a feeling this semester will be much more enjoyable then the last one because I'll get to see my hubby more often!

Both of us have had mixed feelings about going back to school. But we've reached the point where we have accepted that summer is ending and we must go back. And the sooner we start, the sooner we finish... and I cannot wait to graduate!!

Island Park and Raspberry Days

Jaren and I had so much fun the last week of July! Monday-Thursday morning we spent time with his family in a cabin up at Island Park! I have never been there before and it was absolutely beautiful! We had so much fun 4-wheeling, canoeing, and mountain biking! We also went to Yellowstone and saw many wildlife up close! And Jaren almost got attacked by a giant moose! (Ok, well he didn't really come close to getting attacked... but the moose was so close to him I was afraid it would charge!)

Thursday morning we departed for Bear Lake. On the way, we stopped at the Rexburg temple! It was gorgeous on the inside and outside, I'm glad we were able to go. Afterward, we passed through Jackson Hole (because Jaren said he really wanted to get BBQ, but when it came time he said he just wanted a sub) and finally came to Bear Lake. While at Bear Lake, we boated, went on the wave runner, biked, and helped with fixing up the cabin. On Saturday, during Raspberry Days we ran a 5K! Wahoo! It was my first race. Jaren did awesome, he was 4th in his age group! And I was pretty happy with my time, too! I think we'll probably run the 5K again next year!

One thing that was disappointing is... Jaren and I didn't take very many pictures! (I know... we are the WORST with taking pictures!) But luckily my cousins took some so I'll have to get the pictures from them! I have made a new goal though to be a better picture taker!

I'm sad summer is almost over! Jaren and I are really going to have to live up these next few weeks!! Summer has been SO fun, but gone by too fast!

4th of July and a Mission Reunion

For the 4th of July, Jaren and I went with my family up to my grandpa's cabin at Bear Lake! We LOVE it up there... it's so beautiful, fun, and relaxing. We were able to do so many fun things... we went wave running, 4 wheeling, boating, and skim boarding (Jaren's new favorite sport where I pull him on the 4 wheeler on the sand bars while he skim boards in the water behind the 4 wheeler... it's kind of like wake boarding!) And my cousin, who knows anything and everything there is to know about fireworks, put on an awesome show for us! We did not want to come home! We had too much fun!

Later this month we went to a mission reunion with some of Jaren's companions and some others who served in the Florianopolis, Brazil area. We met at Braza Grill (Brazillian food is YUMMY!!) and had a blast! It was so fun to meet the people Jaren served with and their wives. They were all so wonderful and fun to talk to!




Here is a picture of Jaren, with Jaren! Jaren's companion, Jordan, and his wife named their little boy Jaren! Aren't they so cute?!

*Also, we are still going private with our blog... probably when school starts... so I'd still love to get addresses if you haven't given me yours yet!

Going Private!!

Hey Everyone!

I think we're going to switch our blog to private... so please send or text me your email addresses! Thanks!!

Movies

One of the thrills of summertime is having so many movies to see! Jaren and I absolutely love going to the movie theater. One movie we were excited to see was the movie Up, which we went to see with my family yesterday. We also saw Night at the Museum on Memorial Day with Jaren's family, which was also fun!

Up was better than I thought it would be! Not only was it hilarious (Jaren and I were laughing almost the entire show)... but it was also very sentimental. Some parts of the movie are real tear-jerkers. This is definitely my favorite Pixar movie... I actually liked it better than Nemo and Monsters Inc.

Some other movies we're excited to see... Land of the Lost, Transformers, Year One, Ice Age, GI Joe, and HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6 months!

On May 22nd, Jaren and I had our 6 month mark! Now, to those of you who have been married a long time... this may seem silly... but we were excited about it! Our 6th month anniversary gave us a good excuse to celebrate and go out to dinner at Firehouse Pizza (YUM)!!

I can't believe we have been married 6 wonderful months! Time has gone by so fast! I love being married to Jaren!! And Jaren loves being married to me... he said so himself! (At least I think he did... I could be making this up.)

We watched our wedding video not too long ago, it was fun to remember our special day!

hOnEyMoOn!!!!

Jaren and I had the funnest, most exhausting honeymoon! I'm so happy we were able to go! I'm such a Disney lover! I look up to Walt Disney and all he did in his life. And I grew up on Disney films! Disneyworld is so wonderful... it really is the happiest place on earth! And we had a blast at Universal Studios, too! I had never been there so Jaren had to show me around. We had so much fun and got sick going on all the roller coasters and crazy rides there! Anyways, I'll start with day one...

On Monday we went to the Magic Kingdom (which is just like the Disneyland in California). We went on almost every ride/attraction! We started out in Tomorrowland and went on all the rides there. We rode the Buzz Lightyears Space Rangers (where you blast aliens for points), the Carousel of Progress, and the new Monsters Inc. comedy show! We LOVED the comedy show... it was so funny... and the monsters make fun of the people in the audience! The Carousel of Progress was pretty lame... you sit down and your seats rotate around to different sections and it shows you how time has changed and technology has evolved. Anamatromic people tell you about the time they lived in. It takes you through 1910, 1930,1950, and then jumps you to the future/80's! They show you all these future things that we'll never use (like voice controlled ovens) but all the people are still dressed in 80s clothes and the grandma looks like a pioneer. Then the ride malfunctioned and we had to watch it all over again. Jaren and I were laughing the whole time, and we thought it was hilarious.

We went to Fronteirland and rode Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain. And then we headed over to Liberty Square to ride the Haunted Mansion. In Adventureland we rode Pirates of the Caribbean, and spotted Johnny Depp! And went to the Tiki Room. And we went through the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse! And Fantasyland was super fun! We went on It's a Small World, the tea cup ride, Winnie the Pooh ride, Snow White ride, and Mickey's Philihar Magic (a 3D show which is so fun to watch)!

We had the yummiest ice cream from Aloha Pineapple! If you ever go to the Magic Kingdom, this is a must-do! They have so many great pineapple treats! We had pineapple vanilla twists and they were fantastic!

At night we saw the spectromagic parade. It was so fun to see all the floats and Disney characters all lit up with lights! Afterwards, they had their famous fireworks!! By the end of the night, we were exhausted.

On Tuesday we went to the Islands of Adventures (a Universal Studios park). There were no lines! We rode the Jurassic Park ride! It is just like the movie! It starts out telling you about the herbivore and you pass them and then all of a sudden a dinosaur pops out of the water and throws you off course. Then you go into the carnivore territory and it gets pretty scary! Some of our other favorite rides were the Dudley Do-Right Ripsaw Falls, Spiderman, and the Hulk! We rode all the rides, and there were absolutely no lines the whole day!!

On Wednesday we went over to the original Universal Studios park. We loved the Mummy ride! I also really enjoyed the E.T. ride. We loved the Men in Black ride, but the new Simpsons ride made us sick!! Twister was cool because it makes you feel as if you're in a real tornado. When the park closed, we bought a movie/meal deal! We ate at a fun Mexican restaurant and saw the new x-men movie.

Thursday we went to Animal Kingdom, one of the four parks of Disneyworld. We had a blast! We rode the new Expedition Everest ride, and thought it was great. We rode Dinosaur, and the River Rapids ride. For lunch we went to one of my favorite restaurants, Rainforest Cafe. The atmosphere and food are great, and it feels like you are in the rainforest! We also LOVED the Safari... and saw so many animals up close! It really feels as if you are in Africa! We also saw the two new shows, Finding Nemo (the musical) and The festival of the Lion King. They were awesome, and very well put together! We also saw the Bug's Life show. Afterward, we headed over to MGM for Fantasmic. We had to get there pretty early to get a good seat. While we were waiting for the show to start, we were entertained by this little 3-year-old boy next to us. He kept doing tricks and trying to get his mom's attention. He made us laugh and we became friends with him. Then he would just randomly give me hugs. It was funny at first until he got really sweaty... then I wanted the show to start! We tried to take a picture with him but he was scared of the camera, so Jaren had to take a picture by surprise! He got mad at us after that for about 5 minutes, and then he came back and entertained us some more until the show start. It was fun to see Fantasmic!

Friday we spent the day at MGM studios. (Well, I think it is called Hollywood studios now.) We went on the new Toy Story ride and absolutely loved it!! It was one of our most favorite rides! We got lucky, because the waiting time was around 80 minutes, but some nice couple just came up to us and gave us their fast passes for it, so we were able to ride it quickly! We also saw the sets from the Prince Caspian movie. We ate lunch at 50's Prime Time Cafe, and decided to try a PB and J milkshake, which was surprisingly delicious! And of course we rode Tower of Terror and Rockin Rollercoaster! We also rode the Great Movie Ride, saw the Little Mermaid performance, and a fifteen minute movie of Walt Disney. And the best of all... we saw the Lights Motor Action car show!! (You can see a little bit of it on the movie link below!) It was about a 45 minute show and showed the audience how car scenes are made in action movies! It was awesome, and so fun to watch all the crazy car chases they can do! After that, we headed on over to Epcot! We had dinner reservations at Bistro de Paris, a very nice French restaurant. Jaren absolutely LOVED it... I did not. I thought the food was very gross, but Jaren really liked his food, so I was glad we went there! It was super fancy, and the food looked more like tiny pieces of art then anything edible. Jaren had a 7 course meal and they gave him stuff in-between like sorbet to "cleanse his palate." Our drinks were super yummy, though. We had this orange drink called Orangina. YUMMY! (It was also the one and only non-alcoholic drink.) Afterwards we walked around the countries and looked at everything. I love Epcot all because of the countries. It was fun to walk around while we were waiting for our shuttle to pick us up.

On Saturday, our last day, we went to Epcot. As I said, I love the countries! You really feel like you are in a different country! The workers are interning from the country you are in to learn English. And everything you can buy is straight from the country you are in, and the different foods are fun to try! We tried nachos from Mexico, lefse from Norway (it's this yummy cinnamon butter on bread), and crepes from France! The countries they have are Canada, Great Britain, France, Morocco, Japan, the United States, Germany,China, Norway, and Mexico. We wanted to try something from every country but there just wasn't enough time, and not enough time to get hungry again! We then went to the future world part of Epcot and rode Soarin (taken from Disneyland), the car testing ride, finding nemo ride, and a few others! We loved the Living with the Land ride because it showed how Epcot is using new technology to grow food for the restaurants! And everywhere we looked there was beautiful flowers and landscaping. The garden festival was going on! Everywhere we looked there was something pretty to see! By the time we were done with Epcot, we were so exhausted! We needed some rest.

That night it was SO sad to pack up! We really didn't want to come home. We had so much fun, and were able to do all we wanted to do... we rode all the rides and saw all the shows! We had such a great time!! It was a bit depressing to come home, but I'm glad we have the whole summer ahead of us to play and have fun!

School Is OUT!!

Today I took my last final and yesterday my husband took his last one! We are now done with school! We made it through the semester! Now we are happily planning our honeymoon to Florida. I can hardly wait! I absolutely LOVE Disneyworld and I am so excited to go to Universal Studios, especially since I've never been there before. My mom bought us a little book called, "Plan your Walt Disney World vacation in no time!" I've been reading it, and it's full of great information and fun ideas to do so we don't miss out on all the great rides and attractions. Jaren and I even made reservations to eat in France at Epcot. I am so excited... especially since I'm going with my favorite person!

Finally... the weather is getting warmer!! Today Jaren and I walked to school and it was so nice to enjoy the sunshine! I am getting a bad case of spring fever. I only have 4 1/2 more weeks of school left... it's crazy! This semester has just flown by. When I think about it... it seems like I still have so much to do in school. But in 4 weeks it will be all over, and I can enjoy the sweet freedom of summer!

Good news... Jaren and I are going to FLORIDA for our honeymoon... finally! We are going in May. I can't even wait! I am just so excited!!

Well, Jaren and I completely forgot about the time change! Oops!! I realized this on Sunday, as I walked into what I thought was relief society, only to find it was time for class! I was so confused... until my friend whispered to me about the time change! Jaren wasn't at church with me because he had to work, so right after class I called him and told him our mistake and that he had to be to work in ten minutes!! He wasn't ready or anything... but he still managed to make it on time! Oh the silly things we do...

We are enjoying our spring break, but I can't wait until Jaren has some days off! I don't think we're going to do anything super fun on our break (we're saving for our honeymoon), but it will be nice to just enjoy each other and have fun together doing whatever we do!

I am so excited for summer. No more snow!! (Is anyone else tired of all the snow and cold???) Only 2 more months left of dental hygiene and then comes 4 months of happiness and freedom!! I can't wait for Jaren and I to go on our honeymoon!! I am also excited to go camping... especially now that Jaren and I are married!! We can finally go camping together! I am so excited for Bear Lake as well! And... I can't wait to hear crickets chirping outside in the evenings. Oh summer... I love the season!

I know I complain about school sometimes because it can be stressful... but I am truly grateful for my education. I just don't want people to think I dislike school... because I don't. I'm thankful for all the opportunities I have been blessed with. I feel I have been truly blessed, especially during this past year! I am thankful for all I have and couldn't be happier with my life!

Hopefully we're done with the snow... but it's Utah so you never know! It will probably snow like 15 more times until June, and then it will magically be like 100 degrees! Isn't that how it always goes??? Good old Utah!

Nothing New...

Well, nothing is really new with us. Jaren has been sick the past five days but is now feeling much better. I finally found my class 3 for dental clinic. My patient is only 20 and has lost so much bone that her teeth could fall out within the next few years... her calculus (tarter) is extreme and she has deep pocket depths. I have never seen such a case! I am excited to help her though, because her self esteem is pretty low when it comes to her mouth. I can't wait to get started and clean all that stuff up!! She'll be my patient on wednesdays for the next 4 weeks... it's going to take that long to get all the tarter off.

As usual... I am awaiting summer anxiously!

Spring Break Ideas???

I have a bad habit of looking forward to things. This can be bad because then I tend to not live in "the now." But right now, right this second, I am living in the now, and I don't care!! I want Summer to come!! I still have 2 months of school left, and it seems like FOREVER!! Jaren told me on Sunday that being happy doesn't mean we're happy when school's out, it doesn't mean we're happy when we're on vacation, but it means being happy as we are right now. He's right of course, I know. I am trying to enjoy my life as it is and not wish it away just because of school. I love being a newlywed! However... Spring break is just around the corner... and guess what... I can't wait!! Does anyone have any good ideas for spring break???? Jaren and I are kind of on a budget... so what could we do that's really really fun, yet doesn't cost a ton of money??? Any ideas anyone???

Tagged- Fours

This is the 4th picture from my 4th file! It's a picture taken on the day Jaren and I got engaged! What a fun day!! He proposed to me during our weekend stay at Bear Lake with my family. I was so surprised! After church, he blindfolded me and took me on a drive to one of my favorite places, Bloomington Lake (about 40 mins away from Bear Lake). It is so beautiful up there; it has a glacier that lasts all year long and the scenery is amazing! Once we arrived, we hiked up to a rock by the lake (while I was still blindfolded), and I sat there while he took out a blanket, prepared a picnic, and spelled "Marry Me" out of rosepetals! When he was finished, he stood behind me and slowly unfolded the blindfold. I saw the words and then turned around and he was on his knee with the ring! I was SO happy and excited! I kept telling random strangers we saw at the lake that we were engaged!! This picture is one taken later that day down by Bear Lake. I loved that day and am so happy to be married to Jaren!

I tag: Millie, Jodi, Shalyce, and Whitney

Drawer Gnomes

I came home to find our house a mess! I thought we had something in our house, but Jaren didn't believe me, and I wasn't sure what it was. I grabbed the camera to film, and caught it on tape!!

Nothing new has really happened but today I just keep thinking about how happy I am to be married!! I know that sounds mushy gushy but it's so true. I absolutely love it! Marriage to Jaren is the best decision I ever made. It is so fun to have my best friend as my husband. I've never been so happy before. He keeps me laughing and makes life so much better. Even when I'm feeling grumpy, Jaren has the ability to make me laugh no matter what. I'm so glad we have each other. I'm so thankful for him!! He's at work right now, and I can't wait to see him when he comes home. Married life is wonderful!

Hey Everyone.

It seems like every time I ever had a bad day, or something wouldn't go as expected, my dad would tell me to just learn from my experiences and move on. So I am taking my dad's advice, and learning. Monday clinic didn't go as planned. My dad was my patient, and I just felt rushed. I felt like I could have done a few things better, and that I should be better at those things by now! Oh well, my dad was really only my official second patient. I'm allowed to make some mistakes I guess.

Although I haven't written about it in a while, Jaren and I do do fun things sometimes. We have neighbors who live down the street from us. Their names are Heidi and Preston. They go to our ward and are the same ages as us! They live in a basement apartment too! We went to dinner with them on Saturday to a little Mexican restaurant and then went back to our house and played games! It was so fun, and it's nice to know we have friends close by!

Well, I'm excited for the weekend as always! Jaren works everyday this weekend (sadly) but he does have Monday off!! Hooray!! I'm excited to spend some quality time with him.

Back to School Blues... :(

Well, Jaren and I are officially back in school. This is going to be my toughest semester to date. I am taking 6 classes for a total of 16 credits. I'm taking my regular scheduled dental hygiene classes plus a few additional classes at night so I can get my Bachelors of Science degree in 2010.

While sitting in my dental chair on Monday, I thought to myself... did Christmas even happen? It seems like I never left school now that I'm back. The break was far too short! Spring break is 2 months away!

On Wednesday I finished Jaren's cleaning. I was nervous at first, but Jaren kept me laughing so it made the appointment fun. I cleaned his remaining 3 quads and when it came time for scale check, I didn't miss any spots! I cleared all the calculus! This was a huge accomplishment for me! I was so excited!

I still need patients! Our patients aren't provided for us. We have the responsibility of finding and scheduling our own patients. So, if you ever want your teeth to be sparkling clean... just let me know! :)

This week was a stressful one. School is overwhelming me! (And it's only the first week!) Oh well, I'll just have to take it one day at a time.

Jaren has now decided he wants to be a PA (Physician's Assistant). He's really excited about it and I'm excited for him! This will be a good career choice for him.
