Match Day



VCU here we come!!!!


This morning we were awakened by a phone call by Jared's soon-to-be chief resident who congratulated him on matching.
We are so excited to go to VCU in Richmond, VA. I went with Jared to the interview back in November and fell in love with VA all over again (I went to high school there and loved it). I still need to post pictures of our trip so I'll do that soon.

I'm back...

Okay, I know my last post was Dec. 1st so now it's almost February and I'm ready to come back to the blogging world.


December recap:

Jared took a mock board exam (a practice licensure exam) and I was his not only a patient but also an assistant for him. It was fun to work with him and kind of cool to see what he does all day, plus I got essentially free dental work and got to wear scrubs.


I turned 28. I'm getting so old.

Jared finally finished with his interviews. We are grateful for the interviews he was able to go to but I am really glad that it is over (we'll find out in a few days where we are going).

Christmas was so much fun. Jared totally surprised me with a sweet rode bike. I used his old mountain bike to go to work before I had Sam. It is a totally different experience to ride a bike that actually fits you. I love it. I tried to surprise Jared with a wii but I did such a good job of hiding it that he bought one too and spoiled the surprise. I don't know if I've ever been able to surprise him...maybe one day.



January recap:

New Years resolutions:
Lose a few pounds. We'll see if that happens.
Write in my journal and read my scriptures every day. I really started this in November and have actually done it every day even if my journal entry is one line.
Be more charitable.

I chopped my hair. (I only used these pictures because they show how short my hair is.)

I chopped Sam's hair. His hair now looks like Loyd's from Dumb and Dumber. I think I'll be taking him to a barber from now on.
