Spring Fever!

Hello! I just wanted to update everyone with what has been recently going on in our lives :)

Mike was recently chosen as Kaplan teacher of the year in North Carolina, and was given a nice raise to incent him to keep teaching both online and in the classroom in his spare time (if you can call it spare time in dental school!). If you are not familiar with Kaplan, they offer classes and tutoring for students taking any standardized test such as the MCAT, LSTAT, DAT, PCAT, SAT etc. I am very proud of him even though he thinks the whole thing isn't a big deal, but it is, so I will brag for him.

Mike is less than two weeks away now from completing his first year of dental school! Time has really flown by and as exciting as it is, he will resume summer session classes after a few weeks break, so hopefully he will have a good relaxing break until then.

We will be moving to Durham at the end of next week so we are closer to classes for Mike. He has been commuting about 35-45 minutes to school everyday so this will put him right across the street from the Triangle buses, which he will be able to hop right on to go to class. If you are familiar with Durham at all, we will be living right across the street from the The Streets at Southpoint, which is a very nice shopping and dining area. My friend  and business partner Stacey actually works for the apartment complex and recently moved in there with her husband Jason, so I am excited to be neighbors with my best friend and of course have access to her closet :)

I am continuing to take photography classes whenever I can and am currently in the middle of an 8 week class. I enjoy it more and more every class and am starting to take more pictures on the side for different people. Stacey and I are looking to start advertising and pushing photography more with our company Prevoir Special Events so we are very excited of what's to come with that! Our next big event with Prevoir is just two weeks away from today in Raleigh and we are so happy with the volume of pre-sale tickets and sponsors who have signed on for this fashion show fundraiser. It's been a lot of work but overall a great experience to date.

There will be more news to come in the upcoming weeks but until then, I hope everyone enjoys the warmer weather that is finally here to stay, well at least in NC :)

 

Love,

Erin and Mike
