Today at school, Kathleen Hodges, the dental hygiene department chair, came in to our classroom with several other faculty members to make an announcement. She said that she had some special student awards to give out and so we all got quiet; we thought she was going to start announcing some cheesy awards like who won the golden curett or something like that. Then she says "We just received word that ALL OF YOU HAVE PASSED THE NATIONAL BOARD EXAM!!" We all started screaming, clapping, cheering, crying, etc.; it was one of the happiest, most elating thirty seconds of my life. We hadn't expected to find out the results for another week at least so it was a great surprise. We've all been so nervous ever since we took the exam nearly six weeks ago. You know that feeling of being so intensely happy that you are emotional and you don't care and overflowing with joy, you're just soooo happy?! I love it! That's one more requirement out of the way. Now I just need to graduate and make it through clinical boards in June. So...Congratulations to me...I think I might just go buy me a Jamba to celebrate! :)
Welcome to our Blog!
We are the Hines family. A little background: we went to high school together at good ol’ Burley High. We dated off and on throughout high school and graduated in ’04. We bit the bullet in ‘06 and got married and we love our life together. Our marriage is perfect! (ok, not really…but pretty darn close!). Jack came along in October 2011 and he is our pride and joy. The three of us have quite the good time together (you should hang out with us some time...we're a lot of fun!). Life is pretty great!
Brandt
Brandt graduated from Idaho State University in ’09 with his Bachelor’s in Business Management. In December '11, he graduated from University of Idaho with his Master's in Natural Resources (he's a bit of a show off in the education department). He now works for the B.L.M. while pursuing his plethora of hobbies on the side: fly fishing and dreaming about buying a boat being at the forefront. He is usually the life of the party, not by choice, but because he is just so much fun. He's a great husband and father and we're lucky to have him.
Dani
Dani graduated from Idaho State University in ’09 with a Bachelor’s in Dental Hygiene. She currently works in a great dental office part-time and loves it. She loves to read and is always looking for a good book. Cooking used to be one of her hobbies, but Brandt just informed her it has been awhile since she has done anything in that department (he really is a good guy, I promise). Raising Jack is her main hobby now. She has enjoyed learning all this momma business - it's hard work, but so much fun!
Jack
Born in October 2011, Jackers is the big hot shot of the family. He is such a good boy and we love having him around. Honestly, I don't know what we did with our time before he came along. Jack spends his days exploring his world (aka getting into everything!). He's a great eater, but the napping comes and goes. He sure keeps us on our toes, and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Hey, Dani way to go!!!We are all so proud of you! Tried to call you but you aren't answering. Maybe you celebrated last night and are sleeping in.
