News from Louisville!

So lately we have been having fun getting info from Louisville. They have a facebook page that dental school students and incoming students write on and ask questions, etc. It's been really helpful!

Then today I found out there was a dental school wives' facebook page. The ladies are all so fun and nice! They post things like "Going to the Zoo at 10AM. Meet us at the front doors if you want to come!" I am 100% sure that most of the ladies on there are LDS becuase of many LDS references and things (and the fact that most non-LDS people are not married by now) but all the wives can join, which I think is great because it is a way to befriend non-LDS ladies who do not have a ward/relief society support system/friends.

This is something one lady posted:

Louisville Dental School Wives Group-

We host activities so that we can get to know each other better and have a support system while our husbands are gone studying.

We plan on having a few activities a year:

1. Welcome BBQ (July)- For the entire family.

2. Opening Social (Sept)-Just for the women.

3. Weekly Girls Night (tuesdays or wednesday) for the months of Sept, Oct, and Nov.

4. Participating in the Dental School Beat the Pumpkin Run (Oct).

5. Christmas Party (Dec)

6. 2 semester Opening Social (Jan)

7. Valentines Party (Feb)

8. Dental School Wives Group Cook Book (March) and Coordinating Monthly Recipe Swap Girls Nights.

9. Closing Social (Good Bye party for those leaving that year) (end of April)

You are welcome to plan and do any other activities that you would like, but we decided we thought these activities would help us get to know each other, no matter what stage of life you are in (at home, working, etc.) and no matter where you live in Louisville.

If you would like to help plan any of these activities please let Brynn Snyder, Lauren Hicks, Melissa Hall or Kim W. know.

We look forward to getting to know all the Dental School Wives!

Anyway, I am really excited and know that we will love our time in Louisville. It will be such a great experience for us.
