Dental Hygiene Boards!!!!

So I just took my dental hygiene written board today and it was an 8 hour test, 350 questions and I had to get a 75% to pass. So I prepared myself by studying in groups, by-mself, and in class for 3 solid months. The last few weeks every spare minute I had to myself was dedicated to studying for this exam. So the reason why this exam is such a big deal is because I have to take 3 "boards" total. One being the written that I took today, another being the clinical in May, and the last being a law test in May. So I had to turn in my applications for all these boards by the end of this month, I don't get any refunds back and the total cost of these boards were way too much for a young married couple like me and Sam!! Here comes the bad part, I don't find out if I've passed the written board until May. I have to pass the written in order to take the clinical, and law exam which is in May. So in short if I don't pass the written board, I loose all the money we've spent on the boards and have to try and take them all over again in December!!!! It's a vicous cycle I don't want to have to do so I'm really hoping that I did well on this written exam!!

Here I am studying! This is pretty much my spot I was stuck at for 3 months!!!

Hey Jackie! It has been awhile. Your blog is so cute! Next time we're in Florida we need to hang out. We actually might be moving there once Kempton graduates, we're still deciding!

You look so studious and cute studying! I'm sure you passed but that is nerve wrecking not to know if you passed until MAY...that seems like forever away! Well we still need to call each other. Miss ya and tell Sam hi!

You are as adorable as ever! I was looking at Angies Blog and saw you and Sam and thought I would leave a little note. I just got home from my mission and am trying to adjust to normal life. It was fun to see all your pictures! You're a doll
