Goodbye Wisdom Teeth

I just wanted to make a post before the big day tomorrow. At 845 AM I go under the knife. My husband is actually going to be in on the procedure so he's really excited. I hope you all are able to see me smile again and I don't suffer any permanent paralysis of the mouth region. I love you all and hope I'm around to blog again. I have until midnight to eat and drink...so I gotta go!

A few recent milestones in our life together....

Besides completing our big exams we been through some other important milestones recently.

#1

Our Honda reach 100,000 miles and runs like a champ! (Except for the weird noise when you back up and the shaking when it shifts gears)

#2

Mia got too fat to get out from under the couch. We had to lift the couch up!

#3

Craig's White Coat Ceremony!

Of course George and Laura came down for the special day. Look at these proud parents!!

We're so glad Todd and Abby and Tanner could be there! Tanner was so good the whole visit!

The LDS students in Craig's class and wives.These are the real people celebrating here, we get our husbands back!! All of these girls only know what it's like to be married to a student. We can't imagine life after school. Left to right: Jessica Ingalls, Me, Rachel Greenhalgh, Heidi Kim. Jessica is expecting her first baby, isn't she glowing?!

Afterwards we had a party with some friends and family. Thanks so much to everyone who helped! The boys played an exciting new game called Watermelon Football. Did you know a watermelon floats??

Craig and Cassie WHO???

Okay so I know it's been awhile, again. How about I just not make any empty promises this time about blogging?

Craig and I have been very busy this past month or so studying. I've now taken the GRE and hopefully done well enough to get in to Grad School and Craig has finished his first boards!!! Boy, are we glad to be done.

So we began celebrating the afternoon Craig finished....We picked up our friends Todd and Abby and baby Tanner from the airport for a week of fun!

We went to the beach, Alligator Farm, Sea World and shrimping among other things. Here are some highlights!

Todd, who is a builder, helped me design my very first sand castle. Unfortunately, we never finished...
This is about as close to the water as I got, a bit chilly for me!Why not?We tried this pose, but Todd and Abby's facial expressions were so much better.

Craig told us about Alligator Farm and how you get to watch them feed the gators. Well apparently they've become braver since he last went. Not only did they feed the gators, but the fed them from inside!!! Holy Cow. You couldn't pay me enough to get in there. The only weapon they had was a stick.

How would you like to slip into that pond?

Thanks for visiting Todd and Abby and Tanner, we miss you guys already!!

Happy Father's Day

Craig and I have both been blessed with such amazing father's and we just wanted to wish them a Happy Father's Day! You have taught us so much and we are so grateful for your examples and your unconditional love. Neither of us could have asked for more in a father or father-in-law. We love you both so much!

A bit of humility...

Last week as I was called as second counselor in the Young Women's Presidency in our Ward. It's been a very humbling experience as I've had a week to think about it. How am I supposed to be a leader to these girls who I think are more of an example to me than vice versa?? I have quite the task in front of me, but I'm very excited about it. The other ladies in the Presidency that I'll be working with are great and I can't wait to get to know them better. It's really made me step back and think about where I'm at in my life and what I need to be doing better. I'm sure that I'm going to grow from this experience, I only pray that I will be able to help these girls grow as well. I still my remember my Young Women's leaders and how amazing they were, so in my mind those are big shoes to fill. Wish me the best!

Rach's Bday

6/4 was Rachel's Bday and I'm kinda sad cause we haven't celebrated yet. But I just wanted to kick a belated shout out to her! Rachel is one of the reasons I've come to love Gainesville. Through both of our husbands starting dental school together she found me on facebook before any of us even moved to Florida. Craig and I weren't even married yet. So we emailed each other and became friends before we ever met. It was so nice to finally meet her the first day we started moving in. I had an instant friend and it definitely made the move to a new place with no friends a lot easier! I'm so grateful for her helping me out, when she was going through the same thing herself. Love you Rach!
This pic is a little oudated, sorry, neither one of us even have this color hair anymore!

Memorial Day

For Memorial Day Weekend we met our friends, Slate and Jennica, in St. George Island, Florida. We had a blast! Sorry about the hair...
