It's April 7th... when the heck did that happen? March was such a busy month. Josh and I both had lots going on with schools like tests, papers, parent teacher conferences, my school's play, and spring break for both of us. Josh and I both went places for spring break, which was so awesome. The only bummer is that our spring break's didn't fall on the same week so that means that during the past three weeks we have only been together one. That's just more to talk about though, right?
Josh's spring break came first and he went with a Christian Dental group to Jamaica. I was so excited for him to go and experience how awesome mission work is. He worked on his first patient while he was there and then worked or assisted with work on about 40 more people.
I was amazed that he was able to learn so much, so quickly and apply it all in the short time that he was there. It was so neat to think about and know that Josh was helping so many people. He also loved the Jamaican culture. Here are some pictures that he brought back to share.

Isn't this beautiful? This is the view from where Josh stayed. Some of the other people stayed at the house you can see up on the hillside. Josh said they walked up there most nights for dinner and to swim. |

This is Josh's very first patient! He made a veneer for one of her front teeth that had broken off right above her gum. |

These kids go to school right beside the clinic. Josh said that when the pulled up the first morning the kids were chanting, "dentist, dentist, dentist!" |

This little girl made a big impression on Josh, she apparently had a lot of sass! After the dismissed her from the clinic she showed back up and requested Josh for some other things that she wanted. |

Their final count, amazing! |
While Josh was away, Hallie and I managed to survive by ourselves. Our main issue was playing
who can freak the other out more when we went to bed. Sleep didn't go so well. He finally made it home, after a flight delay and a missed connection, on Sunday morning. We were both in Louisville for about 6 days before I headed to Saint Augustine, FL with my sisters and her family.
I had so much fun with the whole Schlosser fam. Being with all of the girls is so fun, it just makes me miss everyone more when I come back to Louisville. Here are some pictures from our trip.

230 steps later Annie, Emma, and I made it to the top of the lighthouse. I wish I had a picture with all three of us, but those are on my sister's camera so here is a nice little selfie. |
The trip was perfect (aside from some Schlosser sickness). Having nice weather was AMAZING.
I am so glad to be home with Josh, it was weird not being around him last month. We are enjoying this spring weather in KY,
finally! We ended my spring break by watching the Cards play in the final four and hanging out on Bardstown Road with our friends, Kurt and Carley.
After two years, we are loving the home that we have made here.
