Winter Happenings

This winter was busy, busy, busy and LONG, LONG, LONG.  Ben was gone pretty much all day, every day at school, studying, taking tests, etc.  Lucky for me, I was busy with work, so I only missed him a little bit - here and there.  And the winter was never-ending here in Halifax.  They say it's the worst winter they've had in years, so I'm hoping that's true.  We'll see next year, I guess!  

Despite all that kept us busy, we were still able to get out and do a few fun things.  Like walk along the waterfront during the biggest storm of the season.  It was cold, wet, windy and crazy.  If you look closely, you can see the snow flying past us...it was intense.  But really cool.



We were also able to go to a hockey game during Ben's "study break."  Since when did Spring Break become Study Break?  Talk about defeating the purpose.  But anyway, we went and saw the Mooseheads play down the street with some friends.  Even though I missed almost half of it because I got off work late, it was still really fun to watch!  We'll have to go to another game next year!


Just Ben being bombarded by the sunbeams we teach at church.   This was only half of them.  He just loves kids...can't you tell?!


Towards the end of the school year, we took "family pictures" with the families from Utah.  Only about half showed up, but here we are.  Good looking bunch, eh?


We had a little dessert party following the pictures at the dental school.  
Here are a few pictures from afterwards.


Britt & Eme 
(I think I scarred Eme when I took her from Brittney once.  She's just barely getting over it and deciding to be my friend again.)


The crazy kids.   


Cav & Rose.  With Spencer photo-bombing it in the background.  Attractive.


Candace, Caroline & Spencer.  Picture perfect family. =]


The girls who were there.  So lucky to have such good friends up here.

Dental Ball

Despite our week-long trip back to Halifax, we DID make it back in time to get to the Dental Ball.  Ben wouldn't have cared if we missed it, but I would have been pretty upset.  And United would have had an even more angry woman on the phone.  Anyway, it was a lot more fun than I expected!  Getting dressed up, eating yummy food, and Ben even got out on the dance floor with the live band.  I'm excited to go again next year!  Here are some pictures from that night!


All dressed up!
