Where did May go? I can't believe a whole month passed so quickly. Here are some of the things that kept us busy:
I got to go horseback riding for the first time in a very long time! A friend from work has a horse and offered to reteach me how to ride. Apparently I am a natural, because I learned how to trot and cantor pretty fast. It was a blast, but I definitely had some bruised knees from holding on. I even got to wear spurs!
I went to Las Vegas for a dental training for work. We were there for 3 full days of jam packed learning. It was Michelle's birthday while we were there so we surprised her with balloons and a dinner at Roy's. Nicholas Cage was sitting in the booth next to us (see picture below with the blurry man with glasses in the background). He totally caught on to us taking his picture.
Jeff got to be a handyman! A previous dental student owns a house near us and rents it out, so occasionally he calls Jeff to do some maintenance. This was a longer job than normal. He got to unclog a very nasty, hair filled sink, put some closet doors back on track, and give the flower bush a "buzz". It has been a great learning experience for him and I am exciting he is learning how to do all these things on someone else's house before he does it to our future home :-p
We also got to visit Missouri over Memorial Day weekend. It was a very quick trip, but so great because it was the first time all of my siblings and our families were together. We initially decided to go because my sister's family would be visiting at the same time and we rarely get to see them. I was kind of mad at my brother for not wanting to come, but he ended up driving all night from Utah to surprise us. We got to go to the new Kansas City, MO Temple with my sister and Rad. It was so beautiful! We had a little birthday party for Jack and went down to Branson to break up my sister's drive back to Mississippi. My friend Rachael also came back from Nebraska to visit! So many fun things in such a short amount of time.
In between all of the fun things, I did a lot of running and Jeff did a lot of studying!
Bring on June!!
