September 14, 2013

     It sure is a nice feeling to see your first ever, official, professional career pay check sitting there in your bank account!  What a great two weeks of work I've had.  I'm so thankful for how smoothly things have gone on the new job.  I can honestly say I love it.  The patients I've seen are fun to visit with and get to know, and the more I work, the more comfortable I feel in the office environment.  It's funny too, cuz on occasion I've seen some of my patients out and about.  Just another example of small town life : )
     Other than work, things haven't been to busy.  I'm thankful that our church ministries are starting up again for the fall.  I've really enjoyed getting involved in the youth ministries.  Every Thursday, my friend Mandy hosts what's called Thursday lunches.  From 11-12, the junior high students (any and all that would like to) walk over from school to the youth center for a yummy lunch that Mandy provides.  From 12-1, the senior high kids do the same.  It's a really great way to get to the know the kids, as well as reach out to them and show them Jesus' love.
     I've also enjoyed attending the high school football games in town.  With this past week being homecoming, last night's game was a BIG deal.  It was a close game, but unfortunately, we weren't able to pull it off.  Still, it was fun to be there none the less.  Also this past weekend, most of our office staff was able to attend a conference consisting of dental professionals from all over the state who also run Community Health Centers (similar to ours).  It was a great opportunity, for me especially, to be able to network with other hygienists and hear about how they do things.  It's obvious that each one of them really has a focus on meeting the needs of their under served communities.
     I don't have a lot of pictures to show this time, cuz I've been mostly busy with work.  I'm so thankful for how God continues to bless me with great friends, things to do, good days at work, beautiful weather.  I hope all of you are enjoying the beautiful New England fall...I miss it!  Love to all!
