Chicken Rolls

So many exciting things have happened over the past few days. First, I took part of the National Dental Board Exam. Taking the exam wasn’t so exciting, but being done with it is! That was brutal, thank God that is over with. Results take 3-4 weeks to arrive, BY MAIL!! Seriously? This is going to be torture. I pray that I never have to take that exam again.

In other news, we added a new member to our family!! He is so so precious. Meet Leonidas (Leo for short), he is a King Charles Cavalier. Husband got him for me as an early birthday present. 🙂 He’s the BEST. Every day while I was studying for boards I went to the pet store and played with Leo to cheer myself up. Worked like a charm! There’s just something about that puppy love that puts me in a great mood.

Meet Leo!
