This week and next, Asher is doing his externship at a dental office. We happen to have a friend who Asher knows from his time in the military that is letting Asher do his externship there. It is great because Brian is letting Asher pretend like he is a full fledged dentist. He does not have to get everthing checked off, he does not have to clean up after himself, his equipment is ready and available and he does not have mounds of paperwork to do.

I am so happy because Asher really loves dentistry. He told me that he gets satisfaction from having someone with a delinquint tooth come in and he can fix it up as good as new in about 30 minutes (depending on the problem). He has been coming home pumped every night because he is so excited about getting a taste of what the rest of his life is going to be like. I really am happy for him. All this hard work and sacrifice are finally starting to pay off.
