Blessed...

This past Monday I got a call from my friend saying that she was moving back up to Utah State for school and that her Dental Assisting job would need to be filled. I have been wanting this job for so long now, and it's hard to get a job doing this if you don't have any experience besides following an assistant. So, she talked to the dentist that she works for and he wanted me to come in the next day from 8-12 to see if I was a good fit for his office. Half way through my first day at his office he pulled me aside to let me know that I got the job!!! After he had told me that I was nervous because he didn't know that I was pregnant yet, so I had to spill the beans hoping that it wouldn't affect me getting the job. He was thrilled for me and said he would be willing to work around that when the time comes. I couldn't have asked for a better dentist to be working for, he is very patient, easy to talk to and all of his patients love him. Also, one of my brothers really good friend, Erica, works in the office too as a hygienist! Another nice thing about the job is some days there aren't any hygienist there for the day so the dentist will do hygiene and as an assistant we got to polish and floss their teeth before the dentist comes in to pick at them. So, that will be good experience! I'm only going to be working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday from 8-5 and then Friday 7-1 (Wednesdays off). It will be so nice to have nights and weekends off to spend with Ryan. I'm so excited and so blessed to have gotten this job.

Also, on Monday, we got to go hear our little baby's heartbeat!!! I was a little nervous that the heartbeat wouldn't be there after hearing so many stories. But, after about 5 minutes of searching for the heartbeat and hearing mine get louder and louder out of nervousness, she found the heartbeat!!! Once again blessed that our baby is doing great!

Tomorrow is my last day of my first trimester!! I'm so excited to the second trimester!! Only 6 more weeks until we officially find out the sex of the baby... even though we both claim that it's a boy!

One last thing to be grateful for!... Ryan switched jobs to work for Citydeals doing sales. His previous job was commition based so it's nice to have a base pay plus commition. He is really liking it a lot, and the people he works with are all really nice guys. If you don't know what Citydeals is go check out Citydeals.com and see if they have it in your area. It's a bunch of coupons at discounted prices for things like restaurants, massages, theme parks etc. There are a lot of restaurant coupons that you only pay $15 and you get $30 worth at the restaurant so it's a really good deal! So, if you have a company and you want to get some coupons up on their website give Ryan a call!!

Things are working out so good with the baby on the way, we are so blessed.

That's so awesome Ali! I'm so glad you get trained as a dental assisant and be a mom too. I know you'll do great at both! Congratulations to Ryan on his new job too!

Congrats!! This job will be so good for you and you will learn so much that will help you get into and through hygiene school. Plus, the job is really fun... You get to interact a lot with patients and see their confidence and smiles transform as you assist the dentist. It really is a good feeling.
