I haven't posted anything for quite a while so I thought I would take some time to do an update. I never feel like my life is very exciting and especially not anything that anyone else really wants to hear about so I have a hard time feeling excited about posting. I'm here at work though with nothing to do so I'll have a go at it.
School is going really well so far. Midterms just got over and they all went smoothly! We are starting instrumentation now in clinic. It's the part of the semester that I've been most worried about. Hopefully I will be able to pass!
Last Friday I got my upper wisdom teeth out and a soft tissue graft on the lower front teeth. It has not been the most fun times, but I'm so grateful for pain killers. There is no way that I would be able to keep doing what I need to without them! Things are healing up well though and in one more week I can eat with my front teeth and brush there too.
Joe and I are excited because we are going to have a new niece or nephew in a few months. My sister-in-law Rachel is 2 months pregnant! I'm so excited for them. Congratulations!
My sister Katie is going to be having a birthday on October 30th. She will be 22. She is getting excited and a bit nervous because her missionary will be coming home from his mission in New Zealand in February. I think really that she will be relieved because long distance relationships stink.
My other sister Abby has a really great boyfriend named Nate. He just got his mission call to Seoul South Korea. He will be leaving in December. Abby thinks she is going to wait for him (which none of us would mind), but we'll see what happens. She is in her senior year of high school still and a lot can happen in two years!!
Joe has been staying fairly busy with his band Greyhouse Effect. They played Thursday night at guitars unplugged at ISU and won second place! I'm so proud of them, especially since it is such a popularity contest and not really based as much on how good you are. I think that they are really talented and I am glad that Joe gets to do something that he really enjoys doing.
I'm getting excited for the holidays. I keep wanting to decorate for Halloween, but so far have been too lazy to drag the decorations out. Hopefully I get to it soon or its not going to happen. This year we will be having Thanksgiving at my parents and Christmas at Joe's. It will be my second Christmas away from home. I really love Joe's family and I have a great time, but it is always starnge to not be with the family I grew up with at Christmas. At least we will get to visit during Christmas break though.
Other than that, nothing new is really going on. When I'm in school I feel like the rest of my life just kind of goes on by. I will be excited when I finally finish (2010) and can actually have a life and maybe start a family!
