Farewell BBQ

After 4 years of Dental School Ben is finally finished. He graduates on June 1st 2008. We had a farewell BBQ with some of his graduating class. All these great guys have worked so hard and in a few short days will be Dentists.


This is a picture of all the "dental wives", as we call ourselves.




I am really starting to get sad that Dental school is almost over. I never thought I would say that. These past 4 years have been very hard. But I have made wonderful friends which I am going to miss.

Surprise Shower for Melanie

My good friend Melanie is having a baby boy in June. Stephanie, Lori and I decided to throw her a surprise shower at "PF Changs". It turned out great!

I just wanted to thank everyone for coming. I especially wanted to thank Kristy Gailey for bringing the balloons and Joseline for making the bootie cupcakes.

Girls At Work!!!

As Many of you know, I have been working as a Orthodontic assistant for 31/2 years. I have loved working with these women and I am sad to say that Monday May 19th will be my last day of work here in Ohio because Ben and I are getting ready to move to Kansas City in June. I want you girls to know that I love you and I will never forget how loving you girls have been to me. I also want to thank my boss Dr. Cordray for all he has done for me.

The Many Looks of PORTER

Many of you know that I am obsessed with my dog Porter. He is like a child to me. Ben thinks that I spoil him too much. Porter acts like a baby, he always has to have a pillow when he sleeps. Porter gets excited whenever I get ready to put his clothes on. He also will not go to the bathroom out in the rain (because he doesn't like the mud). Porter always has to sleep under a blanket and sleep right on us. He loves to be held and gets extremely jealous if I hold another child. One time I babysat Sofie and I let her play with something that I never let Porter touch and the next day he chewed it up. That was the first and last time he ever chewed anything. It was pretty funny.



We just got new phones this week. This is what we have been dealing with all week. They are so much fun because they have Wi-Fi and email. Plus new phones mean new games. Mine is the one with Porter on the screen (obviously).
