IT'S THE LAST DAY OF YEAR NUMBER TWO!

The above sentence should be written in bold, gigantic, swirly lettering. I can't do that on the iMac, though, so let me repeat:

IT'S THE LAST DAY OF YEAR NUMBER TWO!

That's right, after Mick completes his final final at 4pm today, he'll be a THIRD YEAR dental student, a SENIOR at University of the Pacific School of Dentistry.

What that means for the short term: After today, he'll have a 4-week break before school starts again on July 9th. During that time, he'll lounge around a lot, skateboard and kiteboard and bike and maybe even surf, head to Tahoe with us for a long weekend, and take a road trip up the coast with us looking for potential new home towns for that June '08 graduation date. He'll also do a 1-week rotation at a dental clinic mid-June, which will free him up during the school year to have more school clinic time.

What that means for the long term: We're entering YEAR 6 of our 6 YEAR PLAN! (3 years of pre-req's at Western, 3 years of dental school.)

So of course:

IT'S THE LAST DAY OF YEAR NUMBER TWO (a.k.a YEAR NUMBER FIVE)!

WooHOo!!! YeeHAW!!! Yowza!!!

Good Job All - It's hard to believe you've only been gone two years, and then it seems like you've been gone for 100!!! Where ever you land after all is said and done, that community will be better off for having you. And hopefully it will be closer to moi;-)Say within walking, uh I mean, driving distance???
smooches,
Karen

I didn't quite catch it - which year is ending???
Oh, yeah! Know it's challenging for all of you and know you'll look back from the future and realize those years will reveal some of your favorite memories.
See you soon!!!
Enjoy your break, Mick and gang. Also, Anjie, Dane & Aubrey, have lots of fun this summer in your 3 - two week sessions at Mill Valley Rec Center. Talk about memories!
Lovingly,
Mom, JJJ, Grammy
