Hello?
Hello!
I would want to relieve my wedding day because it was a huge party! What about you?
Haha yeah that was such a fun week! I didn't even know anyone three days earlier and that was still one of my favorite weeks of college life! I don't know what day I would relive. I loved my wedding day, but I think I would choose the day that Kate and I decided we were going to get married.
Haha yeah! It was so fun! Yeah that would be a good day too. It's kinda hard to pick a day though you're right b Right.
It was extra special for us because we officially decided while driving to meet my extended family in Wyoming. So we decided we would get married, then had a 4-5 hour car ride to talk about it, and then partied with my family the rest of the day!
Haha that's awesome. What did you talk about the rest of the way? We have to go to Wyoming by the way. I think that would be really fun!
Just about getting married. We talked about what we expected out of each other as a spouse and what we personally planned on doing. We talked about values that we want to keep strong and what sorts of habits we want to have in our relationship. We also talked about finances and saving money. It was just a really great day overall.
Yeah that's awesome. That's one of the best parts of being married is that you get to establish you're own traditions and rules for you family. You're the boss now haha! But it's fun to create those traditions with someone.
Yeah, seriously. Marriage is the best thing that has ever happened to me. And we both married people from our home area!
I know! It's awesime too once you have kids and you can be more specific about ways you want to parent. It's a little hard to decide those things in too much detail before because you haven't met your kid yet! But because ever kid is different they all need things a little differently! But yeah kids are really fun.
Oh yeah, I'm sure it is so different actually having a kid from what you expected.
Yeah it's better than expected!
I'm really excited to be a parent!
You'll be a great parent! You can practice with Ollie whenever you want.
We actually talked about wanting to babysit Oliver sometime, but then remembered that we live in a dirty, old house with lots of dangerous items that a small child could hurt himself with.
Haha that's funny! Well you can always come play with him! Taylor isn't ready to leave him with anybody anyways. So what have you been up to today?
Yeah, that makes sense. Well if you guys ever need a babysitter for a date night, Kate and I would love to come over to your place and take care of him at your apartment!
Oh thank you! We will definitely keep that in mind.
Today I just had Physiology and Marketing, nothing too crazy
Oh yeah. Not bad. Today is my long day. I have classes pretty much until 6.
Oh dang! That is a super long day. What classes do you have today?
Yeah. I have physics and anatomy lab and physics lab and work. They are all spaced out but they are also longer classes.
Oh yeah, that's tough. Do you like having classes spread out so you can have a short break between them? Or would you rather have your classes all in a row?
I like having a little break in between them. Close together is a little stressful. What about you?
I like having 2 or 3 classes in a row, assuming they are each one hour long. I can't handle more than about 3 hours of focused class time, I just get distracted or bored
Yeah I agree. I have 4 in a row on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It's pretty brutal. Next semester should be better. The best days are the ones where you only have one class in the morning though.
I also like having one or two days that are super chill and I get done before noon. It's great to have the day to just relax or get a ton of stuff done at home. Oh yeah, like you just said. haha
Yeah totally! I wonder if there will be days like that in dental school. Probably not haha.
Yeah probably not haha. I will be interested to see how dental school compares to 18 credits at BYU.
Yeah. It will probably be pretty similar honestly. BYU is hard.
That what I think too.
Plus the classes will probably be a little different. But it will no doubt be hard work. But only for the first two years because then you are in the clinic and it's more hands on stuff.
Yeah, it'll be a lot of work, but worth it for sure.
Totally. I'm just hoping that it will be worth it enough to not be in debt for 20 years. I'm actually really scared of taking out all those loans.
I feel like it will be okay. As long as you're okay living frugally and saving money right now, you'll be fine. Living frugally after dental school, I mean
Yeah that's true. I hope we can pull that off. We should it just takes patience.
Yeah Kate and I have been saving as much as possible right now so we can push back taking loans out until we absolutely have to.
Yeah thats a good idea. We have been focusing on ways to make income while in school. I feel like both is important though.
That's smart.
Oh did you talk to Kate about the investing thing?
Oh, no I forgot! I'll set a reminder on my phone right now to talk to her when she gets home.
Also I have to go to class in about 2 minutes just so you know. But we can always talk later! I'm interested in hearing everything that's going on. Ok. Sounds good! Got to go to class now! Talk to you later! Thanks for chatting.
Okay sounds good! Talk to you later!
