School is getting so crazy.
They teach us something new and expect us to be able to do it on patients the next day...
YIKES!
Well this week we worked on sealants, polishing, and sharpening instruments.
A sealant, for those who don't know, is material that is put into the grooves of teeth that creates a "seal" over the tooth that prevents bacteria from getting in the grooves and creating a cavity. They are tricky little things that have to be done exactly right to work.
Well...here is my first attempt at a sealant...

(real tooth)
Well, I don't know if you can tell, but it's a pretty crappy first attempt. I wasn't supposed to make an "ice rink" as my teacher said.
here is my second attempt on another tooth...
MUCH better. The sealant is supposed to cover up the grooves, yet the grooves are still supposed to be visible . No "ice rink" this time.
Nick is also doing really well in school. He loves his classes, except for one, but he is enjoying this semester so far. (Even though we both get home way too late)
SO, after the week of craziness...we decided to go out this weekend.
It was also our one year anniversary of the day we got engaged! WOW! Time really flies. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings and played with our food a bit...
cat's eye?
yes that is my tongue...
Also this weekend we had the incredible opportunity to see Nick's uncle George receive the Melchizedek priesthood. His son who just came home from his mission ordained him, and then George ordained his son, who just turned 12, a deacon. It was an amazing experience! The spirit was so strong and everyone in the room was emotional. I'm so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and see God's power manifest in good people on the earth. I'm excited for the day when their family will be sealed in the temple and I'm grateful that Nick and I are sealed together forever. I wish everyone could have felt the spirit that I felt yesterday.
Anyway, have a happy week and be grateful for ALL that you have!
loves,
Kristin

So, you guys got engaged on February 1? Sam and I got engaged on February 2! That's so random. Congrats on making it a whole year (well, almost). Well, I'm so glad that you and Nick are enjoying school and having fun. Sounds like things are going really well.
Haha the tooth looks like it is floating in a cup of hot chocolate.
i don't think i've commented here before, just found it through a friend.
