And so it begins...

Well, this week was a good one. Daniel went to orientation every day from 8-5, so luckily my mom was in town to hang out with me! She got here on Tuesday morning for Dan's white coat ceremony that afternoon. It was so fun to watch him be sworn into the dental world :) Each student had one of their assistant dean's (theres like 5 of them and one main dean) put their white coat on them, and then they went up to the podium and said their name, where and when they graduated from undergrad, and their previous major. I think I counted about 10 students that did not attend a previous university in California. Way to go Daniel for being one of the select few out-of-staters! He is also one of the few white kids in his class..I guess he's getting a taste of good old Clements High School now :) I keep being told what a great accomplishment it is for him to be accepted to UCLA by various people. He rocks. The End. Check out the few pictures we got!

For the other days that Daniel wasn't around to get to play with us, my mom and I didn't do too much. Spent some time at my aunt's house, walked around the beach, etc etc. It was so nice to have her here for a few days while I adjust to Daniel being gone all the time. Always love the mom. 

The only real thing that we have been doing is trying to get into another apartment complex. Although it would be so difficult to leave our beautiful abode that we have right now...cough cough..we would be more than willing to live around other students. Lately we have had drunken parties in the courtyard, angry men screaming profanities late at night, and of course the typical girlfriends leaving the boyfriends apt in the late morning hours. Oh the single life. Can we please be around a few married couples that are old and boring like us? We sent an email requesting a transfer asap..wish us luck!! Apparently you're supposed to be pregnant to live in the other apartment complex..we were going to lie about it but then got too scared we might need proof..so no thanks :)

Life is good, but I've been missing the familiarity of Utah and having friends around lately. I am trying everyday to convince myself that change can be a good thing, so I am hoping that I start to believe it soon. I am still looking for a job..but the few dentists I have interviewed with were not impressed with the fact that I was from Utah..so I figure I don't want to work for them anyway. We will keep you updated!
