Some Pics

So these pics are from a party that we had with our friends in November. It was a lot of fun and we had a great photo shoot with our computer. I hope you like these pics.

Valentine's Day

So yesterday was Valentine's Day. It was so great to spend the day with Tammy. I have to admit that her present was the greatest. She made me a heart shaped box filled with reasons she loves me and also little memories that she has that we have had together. It was so much fun to go through with her and read them all. She is so thoughtful.

So the last several weeks have been crazy. First, I took the DAT and did well. I ended up with a 20 overall and a 19 on the sciences. I am content with that score because all of the schools that I am going to apply to have about that score or lower as the average of the students that are currently there. I am so grateful for all the help that I had and for Tammy for allowing me to spend 8-9 hour days at the library studying. She is so wonderful. The next week Tammy and I were very sick. We stayed in bed all day for a week. Well, I guess I have to say that we set up the air-mattress in front of the TV so we were not in the bedroom all day. I am grateful that we were able to rest, a lot of our friends had school and stuff that they had to do so I feel really bad for them. We are trying to remodel a bathroom right now at the apartment complex that we manage, but we don't have a truck to go get all the materials that we need. We were going to go but since we were sick we haven't been able to go yet. I hope that we can go soon.

The weather here has been a little better. It has been warm enough that the roads have cleared and I feel safe to drive (mostly). Since we still live in Rexburg I cannot feel that safe with all the horrible drivers here. It is scary just thinking about it.

We had great news in that we found out that Stephanie is pregnant. We are so happy for her. She and Adam deserve it. I can't wait to find out how many she is pregnant with. Tammy and I think it will be twins.

I am still jobless, but have been told by Melaleuca that as soon as there is an opening I will get it. Until then I am working on the apartments doing other little repairs here and there. I just really hope I get the job soon. We really need it.

We can't wait to see anyone who can come visit, so come on up and visit us. We hope that everything is well with all our family and friends. We love you all.

New Year

I cannot believe that  a new year has come! It seems like we were just having this celebration. I am so excited because this semester I am not taking classes. I have taken classes for the last year and a half with no breaks, so this is really nice to not have homework every night. I am going to be taking the DAT on January 30, but once that is finished I will have nothing. I am so excited. I am looking for a job right now since I cannot work on campus unless I am full-time, so hopefully I can find something soon. 

Tammy is enjoying her teaching. She is teaching two sections this semester so she is a little more busy, and will be a lot busier once she has papers to grade.  We are both enjoying having a little more time than normal to spend with each other. 

We are still managing Danbury Manor, so free rent (YEAH). This semester I have a few repairs and renovations to make, including remodeling a bathroom. I am also doing an internship with a free dental clinic in Rexburg. It is going to be a great experience since we the students run the entire practice. We get the dentists to volunteer and we schedule all the appointments. We are also do the assisting and we make sure the clinic is fully stocked with the proper materials. Basically, I am getting to see how to run an office. I am really grateful for this experience.

School Is Out

Hallelujah! School is finally finished for this semester! Tammy and I are so excited to have a break for a few weeks. I am really excited because I am taking next semester off to do an internship with a dental clinic in town. I had good classes this semester, but it still feels great to be done for a while. I will not start classes again until the middle of April. Tammy is still going to teach next semester, but this time she will teach two sections of English 111. I am going to be a lab assistant for an advanced anatomy class and chem 105. I am looking forward to the review that I will get from doing that. 

Other than that we are doing wonderful. Life is great! We are looking forward to Christmas in CA this year. A break from the cold will do us  both wonders :)

Updated

So I was looking at all of our friends blogs and realized that this one was really boring. So I have added some new features. I hope you enjoy the music. Also, I hope to be adding more pics soon. Other than that, nothing has changed for us. Life is great. We are happy and healthy.

Internship

Well I have obtained an internship for the winter semester! I am really excited. It is with the Eastern Idaho Low-Income Dental Clinic. I will be the business intern. I am not sure of all the responsibilities that I will have, but I know that I will be making appointments, making sure we have dentists available and in charge of ordering materials. It is an unpaid internship so I will still be working at my job on campus. I am hoping that this will look good on my resume and on my applications to dental school. I am getting really excited to graduate, even though it is still over a year away. It feels like it is so close. I have decided to take the DAT on January 30. That way I will have more time to study. 

Life is going great for Tammy too. She is really enjoying her calling and her teaching. Next semester she is going to teach two sections, and I know that she will do a great job. She is the greatest thing in my life. I love her so much. Other than that there is not much to report. Life is great. We love you all!

Time is passing too quickly.

I cannot believe that it is already the end of October. It feels like school had just begun, but now it is after midterm. And something that is even more frightening is that on November 20, I am going to be taking the DAT. I am studying a lot for it, but I am still very nervous. Life is just so busy with school, church, home, and studying for the DAT. But, Tammy and I are still having a great time! Last night we went to the Halloween concert that the orchestra does on campus. It was amazing. This was the last one for the current conductor and assistant. They have done a great job. Tonight we are going to have a Halloween Party with a lot of our friends. Since they all live in housing where kids don't come trick-or-treating, they are all going to bring their candy here, so if kids come to our house they will get loaded up. We are hoping for a good turnout of kids to give the candy to.
