Happiness is...

I am so happy! Life is slowing down a little bit now. My $2000 worth of Dental Hygiene boards are over now, and I feel relieved. I passed my written and clinical Anesthesia tests, and just found out the other day that I not only passed my clinical but got 100% on it!! I have been so blessed. My family has been incredible through all of this. The night before the big week of tests my Mom and Dad threw me a Good Luck St. Patrick's Day Party. It was so cute. We had dinner, and everyone had a paper shamrock that they wrote their best wishes for me on. Alyssa told me that if I'm nice to the leprechaun's I'll pass.

Then everyone had to choose a balloon and pop it. A few lucky people had papers in their balloons that had a special task for them. Kim's said to give me a big good luck smooch! ha! Then McKenzie's said to paint my toenail's Good Luck Green. (It looked more like fungus, but I still kept them painted all week), and my Dad had to give me the top 5 reasons why I was going to pass. His #1 reason was because he himself is brilliant, and I have his genes. It was a really fun night, and really calmed my nerves. Jordan gave me a blessing that night, and I was set.
This is a picture of one of my best friends Charlotte and me after finding out we passed Anesthesia. You can't tell we were excited right?!
Jordan was my saving grace through this week. I had my tests Thursday and Friday, and he took both days off of work to be with me. Thursday he came up to school to be my back up patient for Anesthesia, and then Friday he drove me and my patient to school, and came to be my translator for my Spanish speaking patient Luis, and waited 5 hours for us to be done. I can't tell you how much his Spanish has blessed my life through Hygiene School. I totally have an advantage having him to translate for me and call my patients. I love you Jordan, Thank You! After I passed my Anesthesia test Jordan asked how I wanted to celebrate. I requested the first tennis game of the season. So we went straight out and played, and it felt amazing! Oh how I've missed spring, and have had tennis fever!

Jordan then went out and gave me the gift of relaxation by getting me a massage at Massage Envy. It was great. I've been so spoiled, and so blessed. So 3 tests down, one to go. Hopefully I'll get my results from my 7 hour long written test later this week, and then it's off to the real world I go.
Also... we decided not to go to Disneyland for graduation. Instead we decided to head to sunny Arizona to see these cute kiddos. I'm sooo excited!
Life is good!

WISH ME LUCK!

Wish me all the luck I can have. Tomorrow begins my 5 day sprint of Dental Hygiene Boards. Tomorrow I have my 2 Anesthesia tests, then Friday I have my Clinical, and Monday I take my Dental Hygiene Written exam. Wow!!! Wish me luck. I'm trying to believe I don't need luck, but I figured wishing on this 4 leaf clover wouldn't hurt.
