He drove to Little Rock on Wednesday and then to Memphis on Thursday morning to meet with a woman who helped to get him familiarized with the equipment and systems of the Memphis dental school. He said she was extremely nice and really put him at ease. David stayed with our good friends Austin and Emily Bell. Austin and David lived together in undergrad and he is currently in his first year of his ophthamology residency in Memphis. David neglected to take a picture with them, but definitely take a look at their blog. It's on the "blogs we follow" thing we have. Emily always posts great things that she makes and recreates for their house. Their blog is called "Bells in Real Life"...check it out!
Friday was the orientation with everyone and it went well too. Saturday morning was the test and it was from 8:00-2:00..with no lunch!! David got there at 6:30 a.m. to get his stuff set up and was very prepared for the test. He had to get used to a different hand piece, but he said he adjusted ok and got it done and his procedures looked nice. I was SO proud of how prepared David was. He worked extremely hard and way in advance making sure that he had done all he could to eliminate any possible surprises or hick-ups. After finishing the test he drove to Fayetteville to meet my family and I.
While David was gone Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I stayed up here and worked. Then on Saturday morning I swung by Katherine's house and we headed to NWA to see our friend Lauren's new baby girl and hang out with our families for the day. It was fun riding down with Katherine and getting some girl time. We left REALLY early and it was super cold, but we made it to Lauren's in Rogers by about 10:30! Jessica, who lives in NWA also met us over there. Ava (Lauren's second) is precious. She looks just like her brother but the girly version!
Future Pi Phi in the making...
The girls...
Love you Lauren!
After hanging out with Lauren I went and met up with Mom and Dad and Tripp and we went to eat lunch at this place called "Burger Life." It's a build your own burger place and it super good. I had a black angus burger with cajun seasoning a ginger sauce, some special cheese that I couldn't even pronounce and a side of fried pickles. Yum.
Love my brother.
After lunch, Tripp's girlfriend, Kara, got off work and we went and picked her up to have some hang-out time and play Clue. I didn't win. It wasn't for lack of effort...Clue is hard for me...don't know why. We had an awesome time hanging out. Tripp and Kara are just plain fun to be around. Thanks for spending your day with me guys.
For dinner we went to Tim's Razorback Pizza. About that time David was coming into town and he met us there. I was beyond glad to see him. Four days apart was too long! We got up at the crack this morning to make it back for the 11:00 service at church. I swung by Katherine's sister's house and picked her up for the ride back as well. She helped the drive go so much faster.
This morning at church we sang one of our absolute favorite songs..."I Have a River." LOVED IT and so glad we drove back. Now, we're tired and waiting on snow. I'm really wanting a snow day. This week is Valentine's Day and I am also running the cheer mini clinic this Thursday and Friday. It'll be a busy week, but a short one because I'm off on Friday and I'm holding out hope for a snow day tomorrow.
