Day Twenty Seven

A picture of you and someone in your family






I chose to go a little bit old school. This picture is my family hiking Havasupai in June 2006. There are a few things I love about this picture.=:

1. I used to HATE hiking, and my family was very persistent that I come with them on such endeavors. This particular time we hiked Havasupai, something changed. I fell in love with hiking :) If you haven't had the chance to do this hike, you must do it. It's so beautiful, and worth it.

2. I love that my "family" is a loose term. We continue to add people into our family, whether they fit the definition or not. Marianne and Becca are very much a part of our immediate family, as is Rob. The more the merrier.

Day Twenty Six

A picture of something that means a lot to you



I couldn't narrow it down. There were three things on my mind tonight.



1. Education


2. When people notice things, and are genuinely interested in what you have to say.



3. Thank you cards, or even a random note. I will admit, I've had a few thank you cards and blog comments that brought tears to my eyes in the last few months. Writing your feelings down is so underrated.

Senior banquet and sleepover

Last night, I went to my senior banquet with Jamie as my + 1. She is the best spouse I could ever ask for. I'm already feeling a bit nostalgic about school, and these girls. We watched a slide show of our journey the past 2 years together. Keep in mind this has been a 4 year process and to finally be graduating is surreal.


Our class voted on awards to give each other, things like "most school spirit" or "most dolled up for class" etc. Of all 60 girls, it was a unanimous vote for me to win "most likely to sleep in class". Erica and I won "does the best on tests while studying the least" and last but not least I tied for "most laid back". These have been stressful years but at least I pulled off looking relaxed :)

The roomies
Megs, I think we both need a suntan...

My school wifey

School family

I told everyone to be goofy... this is what happened

Pinata for Jess

All the single ladies - not very many left!

And THEN. Megan Ham's family owns a condo in Midway, so a bunch of us had an after-party. It's so nice to do fun things together instead of worry about school.

Coming up with ideas for our charades game

Megs "probing". Look at that fulcrum!

Britt giving an "extreme infraction". So classic.

Courtney... well let's just say those of us who were there know what you were trying to do :)

Megan acting out a dental chair

Jessica "krumping". Hilarious! "I've heard of it but I don't know what it is!"

These were just a few of my favorites. What a fun night just being idiots with these girls.

Day Twenty Five

A picture of your day



My LAST day of clinic EVER!!! Can you believe it? I never thought this day would come.









It made me a little bit sad knowing that when my dad called me at 7:10 this morning for my daily wake up call, it would be the last time ever. As petty and stressful as dental hygiene school is, I know I will miss it. Just a little bit.

Day Twenty Four

Something you wish you could change





Sometimes I wander too far to the left side. I wish I could change that.


Which are you?

Day Twenty three

A picture of your favorite book


Read it... I promise. Such a great lesson about being true to yourself, not just pleasing others.

"Live with your head in the Lion's mouth... overcome 'em with yeses, agree 'em to death and destruction, let 'em swaller you till they vomit or bust wide open"

Day Twenty two

A picture of something you wish you were better at.




I keep my house clean... but as for my room, not so much! I always say "I'm too busy to clean". And I am known to pay Jamie, Becca or Teddy to clean my room. So what.
