Ashley's White Coat Ceremony

A couple of weeks ago, Ashley finished her second year of Dental School. This means that she finished up her work on the dummies and will now get her own patients. As the students move from the pre-clinic to the actual clinic, they have a White Coat Ceremony. Ash's family came into town and the whole thing was really nice. Ashley has been doing amazingly well at Dental School. She is going to be an awesome dentist. She is very excited to start working on real patients.

I sang at the Academy of Music!

Today was graduation day for the dental class of 2007 and I was able to sing in the program! At the beginning of this year the deen of Admissions at my school decided to put together a group of dental school student singers. We practiced during lunch once every other week. We finally were able to sing a week ago at my White coat ceremony (I'll blog about that later). I thought it was cooler that we were able to sing today at the Academy of Music so that's why I blogged about this first. The Academy of Music is the oldest grand opera house in the United States, remains one of the busiest halls in the world and is where performances by The Philadelphia Orchestra, the Opera Company of Philadelphia, and the Pennsylvania Ballet take place. "Wicked" (the musical) is playing there right now as well. So It is so cool to sing in such an amazing place with great acoustics. I included two videos of us singing our two songs, but I don't think our free, oh so great, but not-so-high-quality Martha Stewart video camera really recorded them that well. I'm the second from the right (if ya can't tell :) ) and singing alto (the lower part).
As for other news, Tyler is done with his student teaching as of last week! He is starting to sub again for right now and has an interview tomorrow for a summer baseball camp job. He will also be going to AZ next week and working with the fam. (but we all know that there is much more fun that goes on in AZ than work). I am going to Utah for a family reunion in Southern Utah and get to see my dad's place in mesquite, NV and watch him play some golf with some old pro's. So we should both have a fun time! Oh, and I receive my first patients next Thursday! I'm super excited and nervous... Two More Years to Go! Well that's all for now-Ashley

Summer Baseball!

I have some good blogs, coming--including Ashley's Whitecoat Ceremony Pics, but in the meantime check out the website of the Hardball league I'm gonna play in this summer. It's pretty big time. I'm on the Gabelsville Owls.
