Chris has been so wonderful with watching Hadley while I have been rehearsing and performing in Tarzan at Hale Centre Theatre. We just opened last weekend to a full house, and I can't tell you how much I have missed being on stage and performing. The show is a lot of fun, and it is good for me to take some time for myself. Although it isn't my favorite role that I have played, I love doing it every single night.
Chris left for Wenatchee, Washington this past Saturday for his second dental rotation. It is 5 weeks long, but Hadley and I are going to fly up in two weeks to visit him for a few days. Life without him is so boring! It has only been three days and we already can't wait to have him come home even though it's not for quite some time.
My rehearsals got canceled two weekends ago and my whole family was getting together in St. George for the 4th of July. So, Hadley and I jumped in the car and headed up there last minute. We spent two days there and had so much fun swimming and hanging out with the cousins. Hadley is really starting to love the water and being with her cousins. We went and saw the Disney movie Inside Out with all the kids, went shopping with the girls, and swam over at the Sink's house. I am so happy that we went up.
Chris was in Mexico at the time for a dental service trip. He said that he learned a lot by going and had a lot of fun. The clinic was very small and unsanitary though. Patients sat in lawn chairs to be worked on, and all cleaning policies and procedures pretty much didn't exist. There was limited medicine and tools to use, but one day they saw over 100 patients! They even had dinner at the home of the leader of the Drug Cartel in that area. Apparently he has them over every year as a thank you to the students for doing work on him and his family. Strange, I must admit. They spent their last two days at a resort, and we are pretty sure Chris broke his toe playing sand football.
Life is good. We are very happy and can't believe that we will be leaving Arizona in less than a year. It will be very hard to leave. Harder than we thought. Until then, we are enjoying every minute we can with the friends we have made here - even if it is 110 degrees almost every day!

| This little girl said Chris was the nicest doctor and she gave him a kiss on the cheek. |

| That was all the medicine they had for the whole clinic. Hardly anything. |
