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!!
