The Road to RDH: BSDH!!!!! We Came, We Cleaned, We Conquered!!


We graduated yesterday with our Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene degrees! It was a rough road with lots of tears but also some of the happiest memories that I'll keep with me forever. I couldn't have done it without the support from my family, husband, friends, teachers, coaches, and patients.  I love you all so much and I'm so thankful for all of you getting me here!

The Road to RDH: Last Day of Clinic EVER!


You're off the hook friends! We won't be calling you when our patients no-show! Last day of clinic! Last day of clinic! This is so exciting but also SO WEIRD! I can't believe we graduate NEXT WEEK! Where did the time go?! Hopefully it won't take me too long to get a job after boards because I am going to go NUTS without any teeth to clean!

I celebrated my last day of clinic with my FAVORITE patient (My husband) :)

Happy Monday!

I haven't been posting because my computer AND my cell phone pooped out! This has essentially killed my Sunrise Project, but oh well! I have a lot of catching up to do after I get it fixed! But hey! It's Monday! A fresh start! Embrace it!

Sunrise Project: Day 4



It's a rainy day, which I LOVE, but there wasn't a sunrise this morning. Not a colorful one on my drive, at least! Everything is just as sleepy as I feel! I am worried about my patient I have scheduled today- I think something may have happened to him because his mother and I haven't been able to get a hold of him for weeks! (He has a mental disorder and wanders around a lot. I really hope he is okay!) But something positive is today is my last day of school this week! We did it! One more week down! Only 18 days of school left!!! And it's supposed to be 70 degrees this weekend :)

Quote of the Day:

"The path to success is to take massive determined action."

In Honor of Cheesecake Day

Today is Cheesecake Day (aka the anniversary of when my husband proposed to me!) so I find it fitting to tell the story :)

This picture pretty much says it all. But in short, Michael and I were out to eat at Olive Garden (One of my favorite places). Right after we placed our order, Michael jumped out of his seat and ran away exclaiming he had left his wallet in the car. I could see it in his pocket as he was leaving and tried to call out to him, but off he went! I was cracking up the whole time he was gone! “He’s probably furiously searching his car right now while it’s in his POCKET!! What an idiot” Turns out I was the idiot.
Michael triumphantly threw his wallet on the table when he returned. At the end of our meal the waitress asked if we were ready for dessert. “Oh no, we’re full” was my reply. She responded with a chirpy “Okay I’ll go get your check!” But instead of returning with a check she came back with a cheesecake. I was so confused. “I thought we just said we didn’t want dess- OH." There was a ring next to the cheesecake! Michael got down on his knee right there in the middle of the restaurant!
Turns out, while he was “searching for his wallet” he was really talking to the waitress about his surprise. 

Fun fact: While I absolutely love my ring, I love his so much too! I got him a camouflage wedding band from the Jeweler's Bench (Same place he got my ring)
