Congrats Babe!

I am WAY behind on posting, so I thought I would do a little catching up (this is for you Melissa:)

Eric graduated from dental school on June 8th and we could not be happier! It is such a relief to be done and moving on to the next step in life. I am so proud of you babe! I can't believe how fast 4 years of school went by, although Eric would probably not agree with that statement. It was such a hard, wonderful, stressful, demanding, fun time in our lives!

Congrats! I love ya!

The actual graduation ceremony was not very fun. My girls were little stinkers and the ushers were very rude with us. It was not a kid friendly graduation, there was no where to go with them, and there were tons of kids out in the foyer! I left my girls screaming and crying with my parents so I could run in and snap some shots when Eric walked across the stage, that was about all I saw of graduation. Oh well, that was the most important part anyway.

Here are some of the guys Eric graduated with. Don't they look so manly and doctorly in lavender?

We were able to get together with two of our best friends that went to school with Eric and have a little graduation bash. It was so nice to spend one last night with some great friends! Thanks Tonya and Angie for all the work you did for the party, it was so fun!!!

There has been a lot of stress in our lives these last few months. Let's recap shall we... We were offered a job in Utah with a family friend and we were so excited to be coming back to live near family, but the more we got into it, the more we realized that it wasn't really what we wanted (as far as the job went). I was really let down and depressed that we weren't moving to Utah. Eric started looking at other options and we decided to go with a corporate dental group. They offered us a job in Wisconsin and Eric flew there for an interview. He loved the area and was excited about the job, but there were a few hang ups... Without going into too much detail (because it's really long and hairy) Eric took the wrong exam to get into Wisconsin and we wouldn't be able to get licensed until he took some additional tests which he could only schedule on certain dates. There is a really long story that goes along with the whole additional testing too, but I will spare you. So, the company Eric hired on with was going to put us in Iowa until we could get licensed in Wisconsin. We weren't sure how long we were going to be in Iowa and I wasn't sure if I was going to move to Iowa with Eric or stay with my family in Utah for a while. We just didn't want to uproot our girls over and over because the move has been really hard on them. Anyway... about 3 weeks ago we found out that Wisconsin changed their licensing laws and they were going to accept the WREB (the test Eric took) and we would be able to get licensed there! YAY!!! I have been stressing and worrying about what we were going to do and everything just fell into place! Eric will be driving out next week and looking for a house. Once he finds something, I will fly out with the girls. Everyone cross your fingers he finds something fast!!
