I know this picture is as bad as when you're mom made you stand out side the house the first day of kindergarten, but one day we'll definitely want to share the "first day of dental school" picture to our kids :)Life changes the minute dental school starts...this is what we have been waiting for for a long time and it feels really good to finally have things moving. :) There is no transition into school-it all hits at once and it's been said the 1st quarter of dental school is "like trying to drink from a fire hydrant." Jared has classes/lab from 8-5 everyday except Friday, breaks for dinner with me, and then spends the evenings studying. The key to this journey is balance and after week one we are doing our best to keep balance and make this adventure an...adventure. We have made some necessary adjustments that simplify our life and I'm really starting to realize just how different we live our lives right now. It's sometimes a little comical actually so I thought I'd share a little with you...
We both ride our bikes everyday to the school for work/school, so because the car sits Monday-Friday now, we got a car cover. There's no time anymore for it's weekly washing that Jared used to give it, but it's great to still have a clean car to drive on the weekends.
Jared's study set up-elevated computer to keep the neck aches away from staring at the computer for hours viewing PowerPoint slides, and the dry erase board positioned so that I can still watch TV when I want and not distract Jared.
Breakfast on the go is a must...the fridge door is now always fully stocked with Odwalla bars and banana & zucchini bread that I've made and individually wrapped so Jared can just grab and go in the morning. Oh...and Snickers are a great boost of energy.
This is what Jared looks at all day right now- Bio Chem, Anatomy & Phisiology, and Histology. It's a whole different language to me.

haha! the little things you do to make the most of this time in school. I love that you make zucchini bread and individually wrap them. wow! i will sometimes put multiple lunch/snack options on an eye level shelf in the fridge for Scott for easy access... otherwise he'll just eat tortilla chips.
The Adams Great Adventure. "The sky's the limit when God is in it!" (someone I love very much says this) :) You both are in our prayers daily. Love, Mom xoxo
and what about the ghiradelli ;) and the bio chem looks like instructions on how to make a beer keg ;) -bbf
