She never looked.
Oh well, life is good. Today I finished part II of the National Dental Board Exam (NDBE II). That last sentence makes it sound easy, but the truth is I have spent the better part of the last month studying for it and am praying retro-active prayers that I pass. If you don't believe in retro-active prayers you can send up a few pro-active petitions for my North Eastern Regional Board on Tuesday.
We have been talking a lot about New Mexico lately. And Redbox. As fate would have it there are actually 2 RedBox locations in Gallup, New Mexico. We believe it is a sign.
Yesterday, my friend and missionary trainer Resh Jeffries sent me a message on Facebook saying we need to catch up. It has been years. I enjoyed looking at pictures of him and how his family has grown since last time I saw him. Which reminds me of how rich I have been to meet so many interesting and remarkable people over the years. Some exude cool, others unbelievably capable. Some totally loyal. I have been really blessed.
Lastly, I watched the movie "17 Again" last night. It might have changed my life. Not because Zack whatever his name is looks just like my friend Kyle Poulter in sunglasses, but because it reminds me to live in the present.
So, while I will be turning 30 shortly after graduation, I still feel young and am so grateful for my blessings right now. Especially my family. With that, I think I will get up off the couch and try to chase down my 17 year old phsique.

Ahhhh, I can feel the relaxation in your post...you're chill, man..... So nice to know after reading prior posts where stress is oooozing from every syllable. It's also good to know you are making an effort to be alluring with your post holiday tummy....but, I thought for sure you were going to say you were chasing down your Sweetie, not your 17 years old physique....face it fella, it's gone.....it's good but it will never be 17....
Hi Ben and Telia! Ben, I love this post because so many times I have known my husband was doing something like that, trying to get my attention and I intentionally did not look. Also, because 30 just hit my world. It's not so bad I guess, after the shock wears off.
Your kiddos are so cute you guys. And you seem very happy.
We love you Ben! I think I'll have to see that movie now! You are wonderful! Please hug my friend Telia for me! I miss her! I'll be sending prayers both ways! :)

LOVE hearing what's up with you guys! NEW MEXICO? I think that would be awesome. When would you leave by?
benny boy... i guess this is an old post, but my wife pointed it out to me... the funny thing is that she had not even gotten to the part about 17 again, she wanted me to read it because of the belly story, hahaha. love it... i kinda have a different problem though... I have the belly, and my wife notices it all the time... maybe mine is just bigger... love you anyways... (kyle)
Ben, I want to read your memoirs...whenever you write them. You've got a way with words. Good job on boards by-the-way.
