It's Official!!!

Hi friends! We are still here, just experiencing some HUGE life changes these past few months that have kept me away from this blog WAY more than I would have liked! The biggest news at the moment is that Sam just bought his very own dental practice at 15th & Bryant in Edmond!!! Ward Family Dentistry (formerly known as Tower Dental) is located directly across the street from Peach Wave (in Spring Creek) and right next door to Bank of Oklahoma. His office is open Monday-Friday and is happily scheduling new patients, so if you or anyone you know is in the market for a new dentist, please give his office a call at 405-359-0074.

The temporary sign went up yesterday (the permanent sign will take several weeks, so we wanted to get something up in its’ place for the moment), which makes everything look even MORE official! Here is the proud owner/dentist, Dr. Sam Ward, in front of his office:

The decision to open this practice came about in such an unexpectedly last minute way that we cannot begin to doubt God’s hand in all of this. We have faith that He will help provide everything we need to ensure success in this this new & exciting (and sometimes downright scary) adventure, but we really appreciate your prayers as well! This is certainly one of the biggest leaps of faith we have ever taken.

We know that this is just the beginning of LOTS of hard work and time, but we're so excited that we've been given this opportunity! Obviously I am very proud of Sam and all the hard work he’s put in over the past 4 years to get through dental school, as well as the commitment he has made to get his dental career up and running so quickly. On top of all that, he is still such an amazing husband and daddy to our sweet baby boy.

And speaking of that sweet boy, his 1st birthday is coming up in just over a week!!! I can’t even believe how fast this past year has gone, but I will most definitely try to post about his birthday soon. I know I’m horrible at updating the blog and even uploading pictures to my own computer, but rest assured that my camera and iPhone are FULL of pictures/video of our little man. (I'm not a bad mom, I promise! :)) Here are a couple pictures from the past couple of weeks…

That last picture is of Wyatt trying quinoa pasta for the first time. We also found out a few months ago that he is SEVERELY allergic to a lot of things (milk, wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, oats, etc.) so I've been super busy researching all of that too. (I told you things have been CRAZY lately!!) That is an entirely different post for another time though.

In the meantime, if you live in or around the Edmond area and need to schedule your 6 month cleaning--give Sam's office a call! :) Please don't neglect your teeth. (This message brought to you by the wife of a dentist who is shamelessly using her blog to plug her husband's new business.)

See you soon!!
