When Shad started his orthodontic residency program we knew it would probably be busy, but we didn't know he would have so much fun as well. So after 2 months he is starting to figure out some things, starting a lot of patients, and learning a ton. However, he is also getting to travel. He went to a conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan last month and was excited to go because he was born there. In September his travels will take him to Oulu, Finland for a week to do his Masters research project. He is super excited to go and has always wanted to fly Lufthansa, so you guessed it, he is. He flies to Frankfurt, then on to Helsinki, and then finally to Oulu, which is just south of the arctic circle. On his return he hits the same cities and will spend a day in Helsinki. Two more trips to Dallas for conferences and hopefully a trip to Spokane for Thanksgiving and he should be tired out by Christmas. The spring will bring trips to Boston and hopefully Connecticut, San Antonio, Austin, and then next fall to Cancun. Anyways, the whole family is jealous, but Amy and Shad have a cruise with Amy's family scheduled next Christmas. If you ask him all of these trips are officially orthodontic "business" but hopefully he has some fun to since he missed out on Yellowstone, Utah, and Idaho over the summer since he couldn't take any time off.Sunday, August 24, 2008

sounds like tons of fun to me! Cruises are the BEST!
Wow! That's awesome that Shad gets to see all these new places, sounds like a great experience. I am sure he will miss his cute family though while he is away. Everytime Shawn has to travel for business he gets a little cranky but once he is on the move he has a good time. Travel safely.
Just make sure it's all on the same airline so you collect all those miles to move to first class. Chris thinks that's the best perk!!
Geez! How do I get a deal like that? Do you actually ever work with all the trips planned? You should talk with my Dad since he served his mission there. Sweet deal though and have a great time.
Don't you wish they'd give a guest pass?
Any trips to Rochester, MN anytime soon? We'd LOVE to see you guys again!
Lindsay and Ryan
