My DMD

You know your husband is in dental school when...

He tells you he has a friend he wants you to meet.  Then shows up at home with a real human skull, naming it "Hal" and taking him everywhere he goes.  Pretty nasty/scary, if you ask me.

(Sorry the picture is so blurry... you can blame my phone, it's old.)

Brian was inducted into his dental class of 2016 (mid-July).  Since Brian signed up with the army, after dental school he will be a dentist in the army for 4 years (since dental school is 4 years).  This means after these 4 years of dental school we will be living in most likely another state/country. (We put we wanted to go to Germany and Italy. The idea sounded fun at the time, but now I might have some regrets? We will see where they send us.)

So back to the induction "white coat ceremony".  It pretty much is for families to come celebrate the success of their child/spouse/etc. in getting into dental school.  I was and am so proud of Brian to get into his school of choice and make a step towards his dream in becoming a dentist.  As of right now, he says he would like to specialize, but it changes daily. He also said he may be even happy with being a general dentist.  We will see after the next few years if he changes his mind.

Since the white coat ceremony Brian has had class non-stop. Class goes from 8-5, then he comes home and eats dinner and then studies usually until midnight and the day starts over again. Even weekends he has some mandatory review sessions, which means I never see him.  It is super intense and having one class all day could probably get boring but I am glad Brian can do it!  I know my brain would explode.  I would much rather give a test than take one, that is for sure!

So here is to Brian the soon-to-be DMD (doctor of dental medicine). Yay Brian!

I have so much more to post on before baby comes, (which is any day now). So the next post will probably be pictures of the house, baby nursery, shower, etc. Just a heads up :)
