7 years ago...

I GRADUATED from Dental Hygiene school
which was one of the HARDEST things I have done.
 Here is a few pictures of only some of the great people who helped me get through school.
 My little sister, Joy, an amazing woman.  Funny thing about this picture is that the fluoride made her puke right after...haha...good memories!
 Me and My MOM!  She is the best listener and always gave me great encouragement to keep going!
Best of all...my BEST FRIEND...I couldn't have done it without him.  He always said, "it is what it is! so quit worrying about all of it"!  In a nice way of course.  I was thankful for all the priesthood blessings he gave me to guide, direct, and comfort me.  And of course, I was super thankful that he trusted me enough to be my anesthesia board patient.  I love you BRETT!

I am super thankful for my degree and I worked for about 5 years after getting my license, but then took the last 2 years off, so I could focus on my kiddos.
But now is the time for me to go back, not only to get my hours back up, but because I love it!!!!
SO....
I recently accepted a part time job at:
with Dr. Steven Bruderer
in Tooele, Utah

I am super excited and a little nervous, but ultimately I have to thank my Heavenly Father for opening up this opportunity.  When I renewed my Nevada license a few weeks ago, they recommended that I go back to work at least part time, unless I wanted to retake my boards (which honestly, who wants to do that?  Not me).  Brett and I specifically made the decision for me to stay home when we moved here 2 years ago, but having that kind of news made me get on my knees and ask for new direction.  I had put my resume out with all the doctors in the surrounding areas when we first came here, but the job market has been pretty tight...even for just temping.  After I made it a matter of prayer and ultimately left it in the hands of the Lord, it wasn't even 2 days later when this Doctor called me.  Talk about answered prayers!  I interviewed and still wasn't sure if I would get it, but always had a prayer in my heart that whatever the Lord saw fit for me and my family, that is what I would do.
It seems like it will be a great fit.  He is super meticulous like me, but also super chill and easy going from what I can tell.  Also, he doesn't want me to rush through a bunch of patients just to meet my daily goals which is very admirable and makes working much more enjoyable.  He seems to make the patient the most important thing, which several doctors do not have that philosophy.
I don't start until I come back from our cruise and I won't have to find a sitter for our kids until August when Brett goes back.
It seriously is amazing to me that Heavenly Father KNOWS me and watches over me and my family.
