Well…It's been over a year since I've made a blog post (oops!) but I thought it's better late than never to make another one. We have had lots of fun adventures in our first year of marriage, but we have had a couple really fun/exciting things in the past few weeks. First and foremost, Eric started dental school this past week!! We're so excited for this new stage in our lives. He had orientation all week, and Friday was his White Coat Ceremony that I got to attend.

Doesn't he look good?! He is in a class of 23 students, and he'll be the second graduating class at the University of Utah Dental School. So far he said that everyone in his class has gotten along super well and that he really likes everyone he'll be working with for the next 4 years.

It's not the greatest picture ever, but here is his class. His Dean is the lady in green on the front row. Eric is on the back row, third from the left.

 As part of becoming a dental student, they have a couple traditions they have to go through. The first is getting the white coat placed on them. 

The second taking the Dental Student Pledge (kind of like the Hippocratic Oath but for dentists).

It was so exciting to see Eric start the path that will finally lead to his career. Even though it's a little heartbreaking to see him sporting the U of U colors, we are super excited for the new dental school in Utah. It's a huge blessing for us to be able to stay in Utah while I finish at BYU. He is with a great group of students and the faculty seems phenomenal, so we know it's going to be a great experience.

Mark your calendars for 2018. His appointments are up filling fast!!
