Erin

I miss and love you all

I thrid the motion? for Friday night. . that's next Friday right? the days get all gumbled now that I don't have to go to clinic . . . Speaking of, I just sent my papers in today for my license. SO as I understand it we have to wait for the actual paper saying we're licensed before we can work, right? How are ya'll gonna start working so soon? Maybe it's the fact I can't work until Sept. but I haven't even put my resume out there . . . is that bad?
So my life's great I have one more month of working and then I'm off for the summer. I can't wait. I'll be scoping England out for Em starting July 17th and it can't come sooner. And if any of you are gonna take care of Eric, wanna add Jim to it? . . . nah really we're friends, just not dating anymore. I think we realized even though we both wanted something more to happen, it's just not meant to be, and we're 100% ok with it, but we still talk. So Kara, I'm feelin for ya.
Denise- I am so sad to see you and little Brayden go. . . she is growing up so much and is SO ridiculously cute! Sad. . I think you're the first to go :(
Katie- thanks for the help the other day, there was a huge mix up and if you hadn't told me what to do I would have ended up waiting a LONG time.
Kenz- I'm dying to see pics from your cruise . . . and when do you guys officially move to OK?
Nico- how's K-fed now that she has wedding plans to distract her?
Em- may the Luck of the green be with you this weekend, I know you're going to do GREAT!
I can't believe it's summer!! HOORAW. . . let's have fun ladies!

~Eli

Oh and for all those applying/interviewing for Dr. Erickson in AF, have fun with the receptionist. If you all remember Peter, that's his mom, Carleen. She's so nice.

holla back!

ok... we rule! just so everyone knows, this is natalie, and i passed. that's right, it's awesome. so i got a 97.5, but let's just say that kim beat me by .25 of a point. bah. hahaha... i'm so excited for us all! :) i've got an interview with dr. erekson in american fork next tuesday, and this morning at 8:00am some random doctor that i dropped a resume off to about three weeks ago called and offered me a job! wow. life is getting pretty awesome. can't wait till the first pay check, right katie?
now, about getting together. i second the motion to get together on friday night. yay! i love you all!!!! yay!

Hello to all. I am so proud of all of us. Who is the smartest class to ever graduate from UVSC Dental Hygiene? I think that would be the Class of 2007. Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS everybody. Em and Marnae with my work schedule the Friday night works best for me. I have to close the other night so I don't get off until 9:30. But you guys do whatever night works best for everybody else. I would love to get together with everybody. It has been wierd to not see each other every day. I really do miss you all. I have come to think of everybody as family. I just wanted you all to know that Eric and I aren't dating anymore. We haven't been for about three weeks now, but I haven't really been able to talk about it so that is why the delay on the news. I know things will work out eventually for me. I just have to have faith. I am doing better with the situation now, but if anybody wants to hurt him I will give you permission to do so.

I have a working interview on Friday June 1 for Dr. Wilson in Provo. Good ole Kim got me in on this one. He seems like a way nice guy. I am excited about it and ready to get on with my life. I am still only planning on working hygiene two days a week and staying on at Sports Authority for four days a week for a while. I still like it there and can't convince myself to quit and get rid of my awesome discount just yet. Marnae I would love to come to the baby blessing. If anybody else is planning on going will you let me know. Emily good luck on Saturday, you will do amazing.

Love you all and miss you tons,

Kara

drum roll please..........

I PASSED!!! I am so relieved right now I can't even stand it! I was so nervous when I was opening that envelope- I was trying to figure out how I was going to tell you all I failed. I might go to a lab later this week and mold myself a golden scaler of my own if anyone wants to come with me. Well, I got at 86.9, I'm no MARNAE, who got 99.88, but I am pleased as a peach. If I ever have any hygiene related questions I'll be calling Marnae- and who minuses .12 anyway?? The examiners must have been pressed to find an error with her perfection!

Anyway, I lost the anesthesia letter (typical of me) that the veit gave us, so I have to get another one. Then onto getting a license!! Yippeeeee! I have to admit, I'm not too sad that I can't get my license expedited!

So, let's get together one night next week. Me and Marnae were talking about doing dessert/games one night around 7 next week. So what about Wednesday June 6th or Friday June 8th at 7pm? Marnae said we could go to her house, or if it's more convenient for you to go closer to you because of work or whatever let us know! If these dates aren't good, just post better ones for you and we can all coordinate. I say husbands, friends, kids, anyone in invited. Sound like a plan? I really really really miss everyone so we have to get together sometime soon if next week doesn't work out.

I love you always and forever,

Emily Waltman, RDH

Any Jobs Yet

It's so good to read everybody's posts! I miss you all like crazy. Has anybody beside Katy found a job yet? I've sent out a few resume's and had a couple interviews. One Dr. was an older guy with two chairs, no computers, and clutter everywhere! I said no thanks :) Another Dr. I interviewed with, I came to find out, knows my bro-in-law. I go to lunch with him and his office staff tomorrow. I hope I get this one!!! Everybody cross your fingers for me.
I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. We took the kids up to Park City for the weekend and stayed at a really nice place. We ended up buying a time-share. I know. I don't want to talk about it. It's pretty sweet though. We're going to Orlando and Disney World in September. Derrick's been working a bunch and i've been going on fieldtrips with the kids. It's been fun, but i'm ready to work. Love y'all! I love the pictures!!!!

OH sweet Bradyn!!!

Oh my gosh, those are the cutest pictures I've ever seen! Denise, good luck with your move this weekend! Marnae, can you ask Dave to bless me in Milly's baby blessing becuase I'm going to be taking my california boards at that same time. We're driving to Cali this Saturday, I take the written ethics test at 10, then a written california law test at 11, then the clinicals at 2. Then we're driving home Sunday night. It's going to be psycho. And yeah....about those written tests, does anyone know anything about California dental law/ethics, becuase I don't. Those tests should be interesting. I'm still taking the boards becuase we'll move back to cali for at least a year when we leave London.

No results from SLC yet, I think I failed so I don't really care to get the results. We went to the cabin with my fam for the weekend and went waterskiing- it was so freezing. Nothing else really new with us. I'm thinking WE SHOULD ALL GET TOGETHER for a big party next week- I'm thinking next Friday or Saturday June 8th or 9th, I'm not sure about those dates. We could go roast some mallows up provo canyon or just go to someones house and have a little pot luck, what do you think??

I'll let you know how the california boards go this weekend, I really don't care about them now, but ty keeps telling me I need to study for the written tests since we're driving all the way there- who does he think he is anyway?

love out,
em

More pics

Hey, marnae, I want to come so bad to Millie's blessing but I'm leaving on the first. We wish you the best. I'm sorry for all of you who are still waiting for your scores. It's the worst wait but I know everyone did fine. If I passed you know you all did. You're too good not to. Just wanted to post some pictures of America's Next Top Baby Model. Brayden had her first experience with a photographer. I think she's a natural. The things we do to our babies to get a good laugh...the naked one is my favorite.

wish you all well. Love, Denise

hello friends

Ok so we went to the zoo and it was oh so fun ( and by fun I mean 2000 degrees and wall-to-wall people). Everything is going great here. I love doing this mom thing and not having to get up and go to school. I do have to admit that I miss all of you like crazy. I haven't heard anything about the SLC clinicals I am terrified. terrified that I failed because it will be hard as the dickens to re-take but also scared that I passed cause that means I may have to get a job. We shall see. On a lighter note... we are blessing Millie Mae on Sun. June 2 at the church behind the hospital by our house. Our sacrament starts at 1:00 p.m. and we are going to eat after the blessing. This is an invitation not an obligation( I need my fix of you people) I hope that all is well for you all. Keep the pics and stuff coming I can't seem to get enough. love Marnae

what? why would they stop the license expediting? not even sure how you spell that... anyway, they suck. well, i guess i can take that trip to oklahoma after all. has anyone from SLC clinicals heard back yet, i'm DYING to know! and finally a quick note about recipes... emily, should we be emailing you those:) hahaha... i think it's awesome that we are still trying to get this thing going.

Chinese Chicken Salad

I wanted to keep the recipe thing going;

1/2 head of cabbage
4-5 green onions
a bunch of slivered toasted almonds
1 c. chicken with your choice of seasoning
1-2 pkgs Ramen noodles

Dressing:
1/3 c. rice vinegar
1/3 c. oil
1/2 c. sugar
2 oriental flavor ramen dressing packets

Add dressing right before serving

Enjoy ~Denise

Sweet Chex Mix

Hello to all in the USA...Cheerio to Emily:

Just an FYI for all those who haven't started the expediting process with the license...it is closed! They stopped that service on Monday. Looks like I won't be licensed for 30 days. Oh well...
Since I'm not sure what happened with the recipe book...maybe a little thing called boards got in the way...I thought I'd post a recipe. It's the stuff I brought to class.

Sweet Chex Mix

Put in the following in a lg bowl and mix:
8.5 C corn chex
2 C coconut
6 C golden grahams
1 C Sliced Almonds

Heat on stove:
1 C Karo Syrup
1/3 C Butter
1 C sugar

Bring this to a boil and boil for 2 mins. Pour over cereal mix and spread on a cookie sheet.

Love ya-
Flava flav

Start planning your trips to London...

Hey everyone. Denise, that is so awesome you passed, I'm so happy for you! I hope you all got my text today! I can't believe we're actually moving to London! I'm so excited, but scared now that it's really real. It just sounded cool before, but now I'm realizing it across the world and I've never been there- but it will be an awesome experience. Me and Ty went to Barnes and noble today and just read travel books about it for hours- it really doesn't feel real.
Anyway, I'm so happy for everyone who's passed so far. I really don't know if I passed, but who cares- I don't think I'll be doing hygiene for awhile anyway. I hope I passed though! I'm still going to take the California boards- just becuase I want to put myself through the misery again in another state. If I don't pass the first time, I won't retake it.

Katie, I can't believe you're really working now! You're all grown up. You're honeymoon pictures are so beautiful.

Ty's bar study class starts tomorrow, so pretty much I'm not going to see him until the end of July...so if anone wants to hang out- give me a call. My classes at the U of U are going ok. Ok actually I hate them. It's so weird to go sit in a huge classroom again and not say anything to anyone. I did make a friend today though, aren't you all proud?

Well, I love you all. Please come to London in the next 2 years. You can get airfare for under $500 and you have a free place to stay. I'll even clean your teeth if you come.

Love, em

I PASSED!

My parents just opened my score: 90.25! I can finally relax. Congrats Emily on moving to London. Natalie, I'll ask Brandon for any anniversary ideas. He seems to always come up with some good ones. ~Denise

i love us

just wanted to continue to congratulate all the chickas who passed clinicals... and i think an uber-congrats to laurel!!! oh yeah! just wanted to take a little poll since i don't have you guys to consult with in person everyday. i miss you all!!! seriously though, any ideas as to what i can do for my one year anniversary? keep in mind, i'm pretty poor and we can't travel because soren is in school, but we could do some fun weekend thing. i suck at things like this so i need all your creative help :) thanks! and i'm so jealous of emily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I've been an old married woman now for over a month! Kip and I had a blast in Kauai! We went on a boat Ride along the Napali coastline and jumped in and swam with all the fish!

We stayed in an awesome condo right on a cove leading to the ocean. In the mornings we would wake up before the sunrise and go check out the dozens of giant sea turtles and flying fish that lived in the cove. It was awesome! Kip made me a sweet Hawaiian breakfast and the view from our patio was breathtaking!

I was able to get liscensed last week and yesterday was my first day of work at Dr. Ashman's office. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought! I felt really confident and I think we'll all do great! It sounds like everyone is doing great! Good to hear from you!

~Katie

Hey ya'll. I have to get used to talking like a Texan. We're out of here in less than two weeks. It's exciting to move on but we're sad to leave. I still haven't heard the results from my nightmare of a test. I had my results sent to my parent's house in Chicago cause I didn't know we'd get them back so fast. They'll probably get there either tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm glad everybody's patient was accepted and it didn't happen to anyone else. Chances were that it was bound to happen to somebody and I'm glad that nobody else had to go through it. Let's hope there's a happy ending though. Here's some pics of Brayden. She's already almost four months old. It's so much fun not having to worry about school and just playing with her being a full time mom. I highly recommend it. ~Denise

Official RDH

Wahoo!! Congrats to everyone who's passing too. I can't believe it's official now... I get to quit my job, well in a month :) I agree with McKenzie, we should all be posting more. And as for pictures when you post a new blog there's an option above the text box that shows a pic of a landscape (right next to the ABC check mark) that says "add image" click that, browse to choose your image and post. I'm excited to see ya'lls pics cause I know ya have 'em. Congrats Em! All you people who do triathalons are my inspiration! Have a great summer gals - WE'RE DONE!!
~Eli

I Heart Blogging

Hi everyone! Congratulations to all who pass their clinicals. I am so proud! You are official RDH's:) So I check our blog atleast once a day (that is right, I have no life now) and I think that you all should post more. I miss you all SO MUCH!
All is well here. Grizz just learned how to 'Stay' even when he cannot see me. And Ken finally passed Zelda on Nintendo 64. I couldn't be more proud:)
Can anyone tell me how to post pictures? I have a few from our cruise and from the Triathlon that Em, Nico and I did last month. Speaking of Tri's... Em and I did one yesterday and she took 3rd again!!!! She is to modest to tell y'all that, but she is amazing!
I love you all more than words can say. Congratulations again to all you Weber clinical gals! Peace out!
McKenze
PS I miss Bella and Bradyn:(

Holy Crap!!

Hi everybody! This blog thing is pretty sweet. Good luck to everybody taking clinicals this weekend! I just looked at my transcripts. I managed to pass this last semester, barely! Has everybody got their national results? Derrick had to open these ones for me too. Now i'm just working on getting my stuff to dopl, then time to job hunt. Yeah! My bro-in -law gave me a job on fridays just doing SRPs.
Derrick and I are doing awesome, yep, still married :) We're running around like crazy people. We have little league 3 days a week, karate 2 days a week, and dance for the girls one day a week. Life is busy, but fun! How are those babies? Post pictures pleeez! Chat later. Erin :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Congratulations to everybody for passing the national. We are one amazing group of women. About the clincials, don't stress out about it. You guys know what you need to know to pass it. We were all taught the things we needed to know. The hardest part for me was waiting for Dustin to come back from check-in. After that things went really smooth. Just believe in yourself and it will be okay. Good Luck to everybody who goes this weekend. You will do amazing. I hope all is well with everybody. I miss seeing you all everyday and I love ya!!!

Kara

haha, wouldn't you know the minute after I posted that I got a phone call from my brother with my results waiting at home . .. drum roll - like I said, if I can do it ya'll are gonna pass for sure .. so ya'll are gonna pass!! One down, one more score to go.
~Eli

Why am I always last?

Why do they make the stress case of all stress cases wait so long to hear her results . . . one final effort to stress her out even more. WHATEV! CONGRATS to all those who've gotten their results, but really we should wait to see if I pass cause if I can do it, then ya'll can too. . . Good job to everyone who's done clincals last week and good luck to everyone who's going this week, you'll do GREAT!
~Eli

What

OK- Who in the H-E-dubs got their results? That makes me wonder if they are waiting to tell me later because the news is so bad. Also please sign your name after you blog so I know who you are. Amelia had to go to the doc today and gained 1lb and 2 oz in less than two weeks. Fatso! All is well here I want to pee my pants about the boards Denise you need to tell us all your horror story and what happened with Laurel? OK this has to end fatty cakes Laroo is calling for my boobs. marnae

nationals?

so, some of us got our results... some of us didn't. let's hang in there. so far we are passing, and i have no doubt that the success will continue :) good luck this week to those of us who are left!!!
-Natalie

I did it! This is fun! (Is there a spell check on this thing?)
Hello to all my "dhgals" out there. I just want to make sure that I have everyone's sympathy as I work with Anne twice a week and Kristin once a week. After this week, none of you (unless you hire on at UVSC) will ever have to see them again. No, not me. I am still looking at their faces and wondering. Yep, just wondering. I don't even know what I am wondering at...but I am wondering.
Elisa- when are you heading off to England? When you go, give Prince William a "good game" for me. And tell him I still think he is as hot as when I wrote him after Princess Diana passed away.
Kara-how's the boytoy? how many animals have you killed together?;)
Stef-when are you moving into your dream home?
I heart you all.

Aloha. This is Nico and I have no idea how to blog. I have no idea if this will "post" but I am trying. Aloha.

OMG! i am dying to see little Milly!!! by the way, does everyone know that nico-flava got a 100% on clinicals. yeah, that's right... don't be shy, nicole. it's really just a boost for everyone to feel really confident because if nicole can do it, can't we all? jk :) but seriously, can more people post stuff about their lives? i'll be waiting to hear back....

Max is as excited as they get, Henry, not so sure about this whole thing.

Hello my friends......
So this is our blog spot. I am so bummed that I missed all of your sweet little faces walking across the stage to get your diplomas. I hope you are all well. If you have a problem posting on this blog just call me and I can walk you through it. All is going well here with Milly and the rest of the team. I am so glad I am not pregnant anymore. I am going to try and post some pix but seeing as how I am a computer moron it may not happen. Blog baby blog
