Lately at the Cooks

Since Dave has been working a lot the past few weeks, and I was finishing up school, we havent really been outgoing with the whole social thing. But it was worth it in the end! Look what all that hard work did.

I even got a new wedding ring. I was so sick and tired of just wearing my wedding band and not the whole thing (since it sits way too high, it rips the gloves every time) that I decided it was time for a new one. The first day working with it was wonderful! the glove slided right on.

I will have to post more pictures later from graduation.

Pictures!

Here are some pictures I promissed a while ago.
The first picture is to show you the dummy we practiced our first coronal polishes on.



Here is picture of another dummy getting his bitewing x-rays done.



The next picture is of my best friend Chelsee practicing her coronal polish skills on me.
At first I was nervous, but she did very, very well!



And the last picture is something I want for my birthday next month. (hint, hint) Its a radio with a cd player and an ipod dock. I already have a cheap one, but I always have to carry it back and forth from the kitchen to our bedroom every day. So it would be much easier to have one in the kitchen and one in our room. And the best part of all would be having a cd player again! Because you can only do so much using your dvd player as a cd player.

General Conference & School

Last weekend was general conference for the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Aka, the LDS faith. It was sooo good to hear from some of the officers of the church and the prophet, President Monson. I loved the talks on family. I also loved President Uchtdorf and Elder Hollands talk.
Since hansom had to work that weekend in WY, I went to my parents home to feel the spirit and be lazy. (that combination is fantastic!!!!) I was bummed when he got that case last minute, because we had plans to go to Bear Lake. Oh well, that for sure means well have to sneak out one weekend and hit up the beach with the fam in the summer.
Speaking of Wyoming. Dave says there are really weird people that live there. On 2 different occasions, someone tried opening his van. Good thing he keeps then locked at all times. I would hate to imagine what could have happened.
School this week was a riot! They are building onto the school, so we had class in Dr. Wibles waiting room. While the teacher was showing us useful ways to find a job, the dentist gave us sticker mustaches and made us put them on and take a class pic. He also read us a story about how important it is to brush and floss your teeth twice a day.
Clinicals were fun, I assisted Dr. Wible on a root canal and 7 sealents all by myself, without the assistant telling me what to do next. Im so proud! One time I gave him a shower too. I guess I squirted the air/water syringe at the most perfect angle on his mirror it got hom in the face. Luckily he was wearing a mask and glasses so he didnt get too drenched. No worries, he got me back. Haha.. Im so sad school is almost over. Its been so much fun. The only bad thing (and it really isnt that big if an issue) is that our extra mulah we would have put in the bank for ourselves goes towards school. So weve been playing poor for the past month and a half. I cant wait to go to school for Dental Hygiene once I get a year or 2 of Dental Assisting under my belt. Most likely at UVU since Weber has a long waiting list. Its too bad we'll have to move, but to tell you the truth ive always wanted to live down that way. Lets just say were enjoying our journey and were looking forward to the future!!

Pet Peeves

Being on these insane meds, I have found that lots of little things that people or I do bother me to no end. Like having to listen to people chew. Or when people are late I just want to scream. Or when I ask a question and dont get a serious direct answer. Eew. It just bugs me.
On another note, school is so much fun. I would recomend them to anyone. Today we had a water fight with the air/water syringe. Its just a blast, and im doing so well. I guess I found my "thing". Also, I need your help. I need to polish teeth and take xrays and practice sealents. So if you need any of that done, or want to help suport me, I would greatly appreciate it. Did I mention that its free? Just leave me a coment and ill call ya. Thanks!!!!!

Bazinga!

The past two weeks has been such a blur. All I really remember is studying, since thats my new life for the next ten weeks. Other than that, nothing has changed here. Dave has been working more out of town. So my friend Chelsee comes to stay more frequently. Which is awesome since were going to school together. Its been kind of a struggle getting used to school again. I dont have as much time anymore to be doing other things like baking, cleaning, talking, sleeping in, etc. Last week I studied over 65 hours. Looking back, I think I over did it, because I really have to push myself to do any studying this week. I love going to Intermountain Dental Assisting, but they give you A LOT of reading material and stuff to memorize and here's the best part, the syllabus tells you whats on the test, so that's my main concern.
On another note, we are FINALLY giving our bedroom a makeover this week. Its been bothering me since we have moved in last June. Dont get me wrong, I'm grateful we have a home to live in, but white walls and I dont get along ;). Pictures to come.
About the random word up top... yeah, its just random. Coming up with a title is the hardest part of the whole "blogging" thing.

Im weird.

I am so weird. I was thinking about all the funny things I do and say. Like texting random friends "Longer you wait, better the jello". Or singing terribly in the car on purpous to drive my friends or Dave insane. Or blasting disco music while brushing my hair into a huge afro and dancing around wildly before getting in the shower. And mixing foods together that dont match. Like pickles, chocolate and pretzles over ive cream. Or singing every action im doing in the day... I just noticed I sing a lot.
Also, some of my fears are weird. Like, how I can't stand the feeling or smell of cheese. I have never bought a block of cheese because I dont want to touch it. Eww!! And Im afraid of taking a bath because whales or sharks can swim up through the drain. Nevermind the size. Im also terrified going anywhere by myself. And I have a fear of going somewhere where I might know somebody because then Im put on the spot and my mind goes blank. Im also terrified of taking out the trash or getting the mail in the middle of the day because people will see me and I might have to talk to them. Im also afraid of walking around in my house at night because ghosts can appear. Plus at night strange people I can't see peak through the windows to watch my every move. Does anyone else have weird fears, or is it just me?
