What Is This?

Today it was sunny, and if you live in Idaho right now you know what I am talking about. We have had the craziest weather lately, really snow and lightning weird. So here is some proof that the sun really does exist and sometimes the sky really is blue:)

Spring Break

Well, despite feeling really picked on because we only get to go home for two days, Spring Break started really good. Saturday, Cameron had to umpire at Century. He really likes it, but the JV game left a little to be desired:) Then we went and watched our adopted brother Gunner play baseball for ISU. He did a really good job! Then we went out to Blackfoot to hangout with the guys, Nathan, Gunner, and IA (Tanner). They played ultimate pong and poker, it was a good time! We miss hanging with our friends. I had a good time with Kayloni talking and starting the Twilight movie. We started it at about 2am, so Loni fell asleep, then the boys came down to watch it with me. Cameron was out fast and so way Gunner. We didn't finish the movie because Cameron started snoring, so I made him go to bed. All in all, we had a fun time! Hopefully, it was a good start to a good and much needed break!

My Lives Work

This has been my free time for the past three months, really! Another great thing about dental hygiene is making study models. So, after many failures, here it is my study model. It is not the best thing in the world, but I like it! Thanks Jen for letting me do my molds on you!

We Are Still Here

We are just living through school, work, and life in general. Cameron is working crazy hours and getting certified as an umpire. I am doing school, school, school, well you get the idea. I have a ton of projects to do from know to schools end. We also have weddings going on and all sorts of other craziness! Congrats, Cody and Beth on their wedding last Saturday, it was beautiful. Well that is just what we are up to, if you were wondering:)

Mold Taking

This semester we are taking dental molds. We have to take alginate impressions and then fill them with plaster to create a replica of the mouth. It sounds easy, but its not! We really look funny doing it, too.

Special Olympics 2009

Thursday I had the great experience to go to Boise and volunteer at the Special Olympics. The entire dental hygiene department at ISU went as a part of Special Smiles. I had a great time with my friends. We got a hotel, shopped, and went out to eat. At the Olympics I made mouth guards for the athletes who played sports where they would need a mouth guard. I also did fluoride varnish treatments, and helped sterilize instruments for the screenings. I met many athletes from all over the world. I even got a pin from a guy from Trinidad and Tobago, he was so cute. I even saw Jo Biden's motorcade, I didn't get to see him because they closed the floor so he could have a private tour and set us back about four hours, but I'm not bitter:) It was so cool! We got a shirt and a scarf. The scarfs were home made by people all over the world! I wish we could have gone for more than two days and seen some events, but I had a great time!

Dead Fish!

Tonight we had a little emergency at the Crane house. Cameron was at work and I was just feeding our fish. I turned the light on and our mom fish came floating out of the boat, pale and upside down! I freaked and ran into the bathroom, which was dumb. So I thought I got it together and ran to the couch to get my phone. I almost puked and passed out trying to get there, but I did and called Cameron. He couldn't come home and get the fish, so he called our neighbor TR. He and Cameron are really good friends and he came over. Bless his heart, he netted the fish and flushed it down the toilet while I hid in the corner. What a night, really I am going to have such bad dreams tonight!
