Doesn't he look cute in scrubs? Looking at him in scrubs everyday is one of my personal favorites of dental school. :)
I thought since Mark is the reason we are out here, that this blog post should be an update on Mark's view of life in Florida. He spends most of his time going to school and studying (or talking about how he needs to study). I lied, that is really my view of Mark's life. :)
Besides the never-ending school work, Mark is pretty content with life out here. He has met some great friends in the dental program. Their group is also referred to as the "TMC" or "True Mormon Clan." Some of the other dental students were pretty surprised to hear that they were mormons. One of Mark's friends, who's wife and sister-in-law drop him off everyday, was asked if he was a polygamist. Pretty funny huh?
I asked Mark what his favorite class was and he said, "gym class." Yeah right, not falling for that one. What I think he meant was going to play basketball against the med students each Thursday. I know he also likes his Anatomy lab and making teeth.
Another thing he loves that may be up there with snowboarding is snorkeling. He went a couple of weeks ago with his friends to Red Reef Park. Since then, he has been so excited to go again and even brought his snorkeling gear with us to the swimming pool on Monday. We planned on going yesterday but ended up going to Fort Lauderdale Beach instead because of the rip tide warning from Hurricane Ike. Instead, Mark used his snorkel gear by the shore line for seashell watching and we played in the wakes. It was pretty fun especially for me because I hadn't been to the beach since we flew out here in March. The water was pretty warm and the waves were extra big because of the hurricanes.
Warning! You may want to put on some sunglasses to protect your eyes before viewing these pictures. We are still pretty white.

That polygamist story was pretty dang funny. I am jealous of your beach trips!
Hi Bethany! This is Heather (Hoffman) Cardall. I'm so glad I came upon your blog. It's so good to see what you're up to and that's cool that your living in Florida. We should keep in touch.
Thats so great dental school is going well. Good Luck with all of that! It sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun there! I have not been to the beach for a while. It sounds like so much fun. Love the pics.
Bethany the Beach Babe--Are you on vacation or do you actually live there?! The last pic reminds me of our trip to Hawaii. Fun stuff. And you think you are white, do you? People are going to think you're Mexican pretty soon.
Ah, the beach. Everything can go wrong while you are there, but as far as I am concerned, you are spoiled! Just kidding, but really, what would I KILL to be doing right now? hm, let's think...sitting on the beach in total serenity. That would do just fine.
Amen sisters! (jenny and katie) I'm sitting here thinking, how would it be to be able to ask myself any day of the week, "should I drive down to the beach to get a tan, snorkel, or go swimming today?
What a great post! I like your summary of Mark's life. You need to take more advantage of the beach! What fun! Next time you post I want to see you tap dancing on a surf board. Or building a sand castle in the shape of the Salt Lake Temple. Forget polygamy, that would really put mormons on a new level!
Cute pictures! Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun! Mark does look pretty official! :) We're glad you're doing well! We miss you guys! We're looking forward to seeing you at Christmas!
Ty, Michelle and Coleman
