Over the Hump! Over the Hill?

Well we're halfway there. Halfway to where, you might ask? I really don't know. Halfway to being real grown ups, to not being students any longer, to finding a home town to put some roots down in. Halfway to the grave, halfway to having the kids out of the house.
Officially, dental school is halfway over. One year and a half left. My class put on a pretty great little party to commemorate our milestone. The venue was Bimbo's 365, great name wouldn't you say? Great little place, awesome food, talent show with some big surprises. Topped it off with some steamy dancing and some 007 action at the gaming tables. Laddy and I stuck to the bright lights and pounding rhythms of the dance floor...don't worry we kept it reasonably clean.
Our good friend Emerson Lake made an appearance as our school student body president. This is a picture of him before he lost all my chips at the gambling tables. We're still friends.
Nate Hinckley and I decided to cruise the bar and put out 'The Vibe'. I've seen it work so many times, guess it needs a little work yet. I think I need to work on the whole image a little bit. While some of our classmates were being dropped off by a limosine, we parked our minivan around the corner. I worked up a pretty good perspiration on the old dance floor and was told by a classmate that I needed to get out to the gym more often. It was fun watching all my associates knock back truth serum all night, it made for some rather candid moments of gushing sincerity. In the end, good times were had by all.

that was some "vibe" you were putting out! I bet LaDonna had some wicked dance moves ("ladies leave your fellas at home, Hey ho") you know what I mean...

Sweet pics!
When we attended Josh's graduation party at OSU we were the only married couple... and obviously the only ones with 3 kids! I'm so used to hanging around LDS people that it surprised me to see shock and amazement on everyones face.
College is a different realm, and a wholehearted congratulations for being halfway done with what I'm sure is some intense learning!! (...amidst some fun bar hopping... HA!)

Sounds like fun and I love that you had no shame in showing up in your mormonmobile. You could have at least hired a driver so they could drop you off at the door in all your glory.
