Oh Baby!

So I realized tonight it has been quite sometime since I have updated my blog. So long that I forgot I even had one and how to log in! That is pretty bad! So many things have changed since my last blog. It is crazy to think that it is almost coming up on a year since I have been done with school! But I am so grateful to be done.

I did get a dental hygiene job finally. I started in August of 2011 at Stonehaven Dental in Lehi, UT. I actually got hired on as a hygiene assistant first because they did not have a hygiene job at the time. I started and 2 days later I got a hygiene position at the office part-time. I worked part-time from August until the beginning of December. It has been great and such a blessing that I found this job so quickly. I work four days a week and about ten hours each day. We see tons of patients in hygiene each day which keeps me very busy which is good.

Kevin has been going to school at BYU and also working at the facilities there. He does really well in school because he studies non-stop and gets paid to do his homework at work. :) He is also played on an intermural flag football team and is now playing on a basketball team. I love to go watch him play because he loves playing any sport no matter what it is, he is still a kid at heart. :)

The other really big and excited news is that we are having a baby boy due May 23rd. :) We are so excited for the changes that will be happening in our family. We are planning on naming him Boston Glen. He is already as active as his dad. He is a squirmy little guy. Kevin loves to feel him kick. We are looking forward to May, but I am not counting down. The reason for that is because Heather, my sister, got her mission call and leaves in April. I am not looking forward to that so I can definitely wait for it come. I am already a mess about her leaving and don't like to talk about it. As soon as the topic is brought up I start crying, so that is all I will write about that for now.

Right now we are living in Provo and we are moving to Pleasant Grove to a townhouse the beginning of March. We are so excited for a few reasons. We will finally have a dishwasher and a washer and dryer. We have not had one of those since we have been married. Another reason is we will have windows that light can come through! We live in a basement apartment right now and I feel like I am in a cave. I need sunlight and to be able to open windows. It just makes the whole house so much better. Yay! We will also be closer to Lehi, where I work, that way I don't have as far of a commute. That will also be nice. This does mean we will need another car, so that is our next project is finding a car.

I think that is all the updates I have for now or that I can think of. We have definitely been greatly blessed and I am so grateful for that.

FREEDOM!

I figured now would be a good time to update because I have some wonderful news! First of all Kevin got a job down in Provo on campus that we were hoping for. It isn't a lot of hours for now but it will be great for him during the school year. So we were super happy about that news! Second, I am DONE with all my tests! I took the last three of the six this last week. I have received two of the three results and have passed them. The other won't come for about four weeks. I am so happy to be done and I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders. It was quite the stressful two days, but I am done and so happy!! We now know that we are headed down to Provo in a week and a half. We are excited to get down there and get our apartment all put together and settled in. I will be looking for a job to get some income while I am waiting to get my license. I am so grateful for all the support I have had from Kevin and my family through these last couple of crazy years. On to the next chapter of life! :)

Getting Started

I decided to start this blog because now I will actually have some time to do it. I guess I will just start by telling you what we are both up to these days. Kevin just finished up a semester of school at ISU. He is working toward graduating as a civil engineer. He is now busier than ever working two jobs at Pepsi and landscaping. He is a hard worker and doesn't stop until it gets dark.
I just finished my last semester at ISU, thankfully! I graduated with my Bachelor Degree in dental hygiene. It has been a long four years! I am still not done of course. I have six licensing tests. I took one in March and passed. I took two more this month and I still haven't found out how I did. I have three more coming up in June. For one of them I have to find a patient for it that has heavy, heavy build up, meaning that they haven't had their teeth cleaned for at least 7-10 years. It has been very challenging and I am still struggling to find them. Wish me luck!
We are planning on moving to Provo this summer. We will stay here until I finish my tests and then we already have an apartment down there that is right by campus. Kevin is all registered for BYU in the Fall. He is pretty excited to attend BYU, he is just worried about the size of the campus and finding things. I am just wondering how I will get anywhere without getting lost! I have no sense of direction down in Provo! I will hopefully be able to find a job down there. That is all the update I have for now. Until next time! :)
