August in a flash

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a long while.... life has been busy! 
The summer keeps plugging along beautifully. 
This was my first official week working as a hygienist! 
I work at Hancock Dental, and I think I'm going to love it. 
The office is really close and everybody is great friends. There's been a lot to learn, but so far I've really enjoyed it, and the patients are so fun.
 
We asked one little boy how much the tooth fairy is paying him for the teeth he is losing. He replied, I get $5 a tooth! I was shocked... I made like 50 cents a tooth. So I told him that... and he thought about it for awhile... and finally he reasoned, "Well.. my teeth must be better than yours!" He wasn't trying to be funny either... he just figured clearly it's what that meant. Gave the dentist and I a good laugh. 
First day of work!
 Other activities... my mom, Heather, Maren, and I went to Lagoon 2 weeks ago. ALWAYS love a day at Lagoon. Then last weekend it was Lyla's birthday party and the annual girls shopping trip at the Park City Outlets. Love to spend time with just the girls every once in awhile. 

 
 And this weekend I have the great fortune to babysit these little darlings. So excited! 

 Then next week it's off to Fremont for some excellent boating and camping with lots of the family. The Saturday we return from Fremont, my friend is getting baptized and I couldn't be more excited for her. THEN sometime before ISU starts on the 22nd, Rich will be home from Virginia. I'm sure you can guess my excitement for that event. 
Also, I got a letter from Juline yesterday and I'm so looking forward to her coming home. It's going to be such a joyous reunion in October :) 
 
It really has been an amazing summer and I feel SO blessed about the way things have worked out for me lately. But I'm peacin for now. Peace and blessings! Peace and blessings!

  2. Jill, I love that you now have a picture of you on your first day as a dental hygienist in front of that door! I'm thinking back to how many pictures you have had taken in front of that door throughout the years, and it makes me happy.

    So glad things are working out for you! There is no one more deserving of that than you, my dear friend.
