Oh!!! Back to School...Back to School..

Ok so Bailey and I started school yesterday and so far it hasn't been too bad. What else can you expect from your first two days? Most teachers just shove a syllabus in your hand and kick you out. So, having collected the majority of my syllabi (or is it syllabuses.....who knows) I decided to update you all on how our summer went.

I took the OAT (Optometry Admissions Test) and scored a 300, which is slightly above average. I appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers, etc. as I took it. It really helped! I know get to start the application process, which will end, hopefully, with an interview and eventually acceptance. This may take some time, but we'll keep you all posted to where we'll end up. I'm only applying to four schools: Portland, Chicago, Pennsylvania, and Boston.

Bailey started the Dental Lab Technology program and is loving it so far. She got to make her first teeth mold today and did a fantastic job. She spends her whole day in one classroom, but again, she loves it!

This summer we had the priveledge being with our friends, Matt and Cyndal, as they were sealed in the Logan Temple. Matt has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. We roomed together before I got married.

We spent most of the summer working, but found time to do fun stuff now and again. Here are some pictures from the Idaho Falls Zoo:

Bailey's little sister Abby went with us

apparantly my wingspan is the same as a golden eagle.........who knew

I swear we took this picture

So that's really it. We did go camping once. That was neat. Trips to Jerome and IF were nice too. All in all we're doing fine and ready to hit the books this semester.
