It has been quite a while since I have updated. Life got in the way for awhile! So here is a Life Update in somewhat organized and condensed fashion!

1. I PASSED THE NATIONAL DENTAL BOARDS! This is huge. I took it February 22nd and got my scores on Monday and passed! I am so happy to have it done and over with and to have taken it early in the semester so that it is no longer hanging over my head! Half way to being a dentist!

2. I am traveling A LOT. Florida last weekend (Feb 25-27). California last week (March 2-6). Florida next week (March 13-20), and Washington DC the last weekend in March (26-29). I almost don't even feel like a student. Minus all the stress of making things up after trips.. ha.

3. I have had the opportunity to learn so much about ASDA (the American Student Dental Association), the organization I am Vice-President and President-elect for at my school. I traveled to Anaheim California for our Annual Session and was so blessed to have the opportunity to participate in the election of our new Executive Committee as a Delegate for Marquette. It was truly eye-opening and I am fired up for the year to come with our local chapter! It was also so fun meeting people from other schools and hearing about how other schools do things. It has truly reaffirmed my decision to go to Marquette.

4. Matthew has been working and traveling tons as well. He spent the last 2 weeks in Ft. Meyers Florida. He enjoyed the sun and even came back wanting to move there. I am totally okay with any desires he has to move in the southward direction! Get this girl some sun!

5. I have my first real operative patient [filling a real cavity] in a few weeks and more to come! Our class is quickly making the transition into clinic. I love it! I am so excited to be treating patients more ad being in the classroom less.

6. Wedding planning is back in FULL SWING. refer to our other blog for more updates there :).

7. I am going to be better about blogging. Seriously. My life is calming back down and I am making it a point to blog again about all things in my life. Watch for more specific updates soon!

Happy Spring Break!!
