Dental School Gala

Last weekend, we went to Darren's Dental School Gala at Lake Las Vegas. Lake Las Vegas is a gorgeous resort about a half hour from our house. It was a really fancy dinner and then a slide show and dancing. It was fun to get dressed up and spend a night out (We NEVER get a date night!!!) Darren's mom was in town and able to babysit for us, which was so nice. We had a great night with our friends and celebrating the end of 4 years of Dental School. Darren also got an award for "Clinician of the Year" for his Team. I thought that was pretty neat! It was fun for me to meet some of Darren's professors and hear all the nice things that they had to say about him and to meet some of the other dental students.

We have had a great bunch of friends throughout dental school that we are really going to miss. We have done a lot over the last 4 years and had a lot of fun with them. They are all off in different directions so I hope that we will all be able to stay in touch. They are one of the few things that we will miss about Dental School!

Our good friends, Jon and Annie Scott weren't able to go. We really missed having them there! We have spent lots of time hanging out with them since they live closest to us. They are headed to Bosie to start a practice.

At the end of the evening, there was dancing, but nobody was really out there. There was LOTS of drinking going on, but the only ones who ended up on the dancefloor were the crazy mormons! We had lots of fun though! Jami, Jeanie and Me

The Boys were not so impressed....Darren, Joe and Devin
