Hello there strangers! It's been an awful long time AGAIN since my last blog post! 2nd semester has hit me pretty hard but not as crazy as last semester... But still it's been awhile! Well to make things up, not a lot really has happened since I blogged! Get ready for some pictures!!!
First of all, I got a pretty sweet late birthday present from the hubster! My very own pretty Macbook. It's an older version but hey, I've been wanting this model and color for a really long time. So I am very happy about it! :)
Then we decided to surprise my family! It was super fun!
Well, there you have it! I shall be blogging soon too about my adventures in Moab once I get some pictures from the grandparents since we went river rafting and we forgot to bring our own camera! More details to come! :) Ciao!

We got to visit the Manti Temple & watch the Manti Pageant with friends! It was fun!
We spent our 4-day 4th of July weekend with friends in Vegas! It was super hot!!! This was Curt's 1st time in Vegas. We had fun! We even got to see The Bodies Exhibit. It was kinda creepy but it was also cool!
Here is my bff McKayla during our stay in Vegas! I miss her!
Hanging out at the lake!

Birthday Month + Moms + Marianas Trench = an Awesome May!!!!
So I never really got to blog over my spring break.. why? Coz I was just enjoying not doing anything and I think blogging to me was like homework haha! Anyway, spring break was fun and we went to Moab for some Buckmiller Jeeping! It was awesome but I didn't get to drive a lot this time just because I just wanted to enjoy the ride.
Starting the month of May was pretty rough just because school started right before my birthday and Curt started his CNA night classes. Boo!! I spent my whole birthday in class from 8-5 pm. It was probably the longest and roughest day in school since it was a new semester and we were bombarded with tons of paperwork and information. It was insane! But I tried to stay positive because it was my birthday and being in school won't ruin it for me. Besides, it was so cute when my sweet friend Chelsey and her husband Charles took me out to dinner for my birthday since they refused to let me spend my special day all alone at home. I thought it was so cute of them to do that for me.
Best parts of my birthday though were the thoughtful gifts that I received from my family, my in-laws, and from my best friend Eri from Japan! Totally unexpected that I would get some yummy chocolates from Chocomize from her. It was super delish! What was so cool about it is that she designed all the chocolate bars for me! She remembered I loved teddy bears so there were gummy bears and teddy grahams! Yummy!
The best part about the month of May besides celebrating my birthday is of course celebrating Mother's Day! These wonderful ladies are the reason why I want to be a mom someday... and I mean the SOMEDAY part hahaha! Not sure when that's going to happen but it will sometime in the future lol!
My countdown for the month of May!!

On to the most epic part of May!!! MARIANAS TRENCH!!!!! Aaaahhh we got to see them last night at The Complex in Salt Lake City! It was so awesome because we got to be so so close to the stage. Like literally, it was super epic and awesome. We have been waiting for this moment and it finally came true last night. I was so so so happy coz Joshua Ramsey the singer pointed at me and I pointed back. Totally a cool connection right there! Carrie and I lost our voices after the show but it came back. But man, we were all sweaty and gross from jumping around and just rocking it out. That's when you know it was an awesome concert! LOL!!! Can't wait to see them again!! If you haven't heard about this guys, better check them out coz you are missing out!!

My crazy April and Spring break has sprung!!!
So I know that I have been really sucky at this "blog once a week" thing but I totally underestimated the busy life of a hygiene student. To make it up, I shall repeat what I did for the month of March like my last post and ramble on about my last month of 1st semester.. so here we go!
So.. the month of April was very very very and I cannot stress how VERY stressful it was for myself and my fellow classmates. It was insane and crazy. Finals week was a couple of weeks away and there were so many things to do. But our class historians and their committee were so nice to come up with a cookie social to help us take our minds off of Finals for at least a couple of hours. Here are some pictures. Of course I couldn't eat any of it except for the sliced apples with Nutella! :)

Hahaha... my face in this picture is just weird!
These gals are awesome!!!
Cassie & Me (She's totally my IDOL!)
Our team for the guessing game! Awesome!!
Alright, enough of fun pictures! Hahaha! So after the cookie social, the stressing began. Tons of homework to catch up and trying to finish all our clinical PEs and Lab Activities. Not to mention, due to stress and our clinical team having the hardest clinical instructors at the end of the semester, tears were definitely shed. It was no fun at all! But, even though it was a rough time I have managed and figured out my study schedule and with the help with my smart classmates, this is what I came up with. (Unfortunately, it totally fell apart after trying to keep up with it!)
(don't know if you can read it, but it's pretty insane!)
Monday: Anatomy, Radiology, and Morphology
Wednesday: Embryology, Pre-Clinic Theory, and Spanish
Thursday: Preventive Spanish
So who has had 7 finals in one week? I have! It was a crazy week and definitely felt like I was the cast of The Walking Dead even though I vowed not to ever see a preview nor an episode of that show. (I am not a fan of gore and scary stuff in general.) But running on 5 hours of sleep every day of Finals week with an hour nap before studying was dreadful but at the same time it paid off. We got our grades were up and I was very happy about it! :)
After the last exam of the semester, my dear friend Chelsey and I went to meet up with some of the gals at IHOP for breakfast. It was so fun not to worry about any homework or deadlines or anything school-related.
Miss these gals already!!!
Smiles everywhere!!!
I went to work on Friday and Saturday and when I got home, it was so nice to change, plop on the couch, and catch up on my tv shows! It was super super nice!! :) These are some pictures that I took and are on Facebook and Instagram after our last finals were done.
Date night with the Dietrichs at Nickel City!!! :)
Getting our eyebrows waxed.. Chelsey was going home so she wanted to look good! I just tagged along! $5 for waxing, not bad!
Saying goodbye to my books for now and putting them in a safe place! Hahaha!
Got bored on Sunday afternoon and baked some GF cookies!!!
Oh and last but not least, we took some class pictures too! Look how awesome we look!

Holy March!
Ok.. so this post is really late because of how busy my life has been. Time to vent! I'm taking a break right now from studying since Finals week is almost here. This post has probably taken me a few weeks since I would add some info to it and save it as a draft bahahahaha! FML! LOL Anyhoo.. here's my story!
**Wow, ever since March started, school has been crazy busy. Wait, I totally take that back. School has always been really crazy. Finally after taking our 2nd set of exams, I was finally able to relax for just a little bit. So far life has been busy but calm at the same time. These past few weeks have been pretty exciting. I'll just put them in a list coz it makes it easier like that:
1. My poor niece who is 2 months old totally got sick with RSV. It was so heartbreaking seeing her hooked on tubes. She was in the hospital for 2 days and was hooked to oxygen for probably a week. So so sad! But she's all better now so we are all thankful and happy for that. Isn't she just adorable! This cute face totally makes my day every time her Mom sends a picture or a video of her.
2. My cute husband celebrated his 26th birthday! Woot!! Happy Birthday Curtis!! We went out to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings with his wonderful parents and it was so awesome! B-Dubs never fails.. (except that they couldn't serve me their yummy buffalo chips because it shared a deep fryer with all the breaded stuff.. BOO!) Then I got him his awaited PS3 game "Tomb Raider" which by the way is pretty awesome. I watched him play several times. Even though I wasn't a fan of some scenes coz of the gore, the story was pretty epic. And lastly, I got him the iPilot Helicopter. He totally loves it and it was so cute seeing him learning how to fly it. He's gotten pretty good about it. :)

3. We also had to say goodbye to one of our funny and favorite professors. Prof. M! He had to leave to move on with life and do better things. We were so sad.. We will definitely miss his funny cat and basement stories.. and random tangents about life. It was the best part of Radiology lecture. Haha! We'll miss you Prof. M!!! :)
4. Our ward also did a Pinewood Derby this month! It was pretty cool. I've never been or seen one before in my life so it was definitely new to me!! It was amazing how much effort these boys and their families put into their little creations.
5. Randomness!!! Chelsey made a little dinner and learn with Surgitel loupes. And yes, even though I got my Orascoptic ones last month. I tried it out and definitely loved them. I had to say goodbye to my Orascoptic ones and went with Surgitel instead. I shall post a pic of what I got once I got them. But I had to post this random picture since I thought it was so funny!!! We were rockin these loupes!
6. And then.. the best part is that our school had the opportunity to teach oral hygiene to elementary kids! It was so so so fun! It was kind of funny because my friends and I were hoping we didn't get 5th graders. But we totally did! We were so bummed but it seriously turned out to be pretty good in the end! Here are some pics that we took!
Isn't my life so awesome? And there you have it. Being a dental hygiene student definitely has its ups and downs. The countless hours of studying, to the sleepless nights, to gaining pounds coz we always wear scrubs lol!! (at least that's how I feel!) But most of all, I definitely love the memories we've been creating as a class. It's been tough and rough but we will all get through it! 2 more weeks until our 1st semester is over!!! Woot!!!
