The beginning of March I spent four days in Richmond, VA at the conference for the Alliance of the American Dental Association. Essentially what the alliance is is dental spouses who work on dental education in schools and the community, work with awareness and lobbying for legislature that effects the dental profession, and things like that. They have their conference once a year, and as a student spouse I was able to get a grant so it was all paid for. Nothing like a free trip! Julie, Kyla and I all went down together. We had a lot of fun, met a lot of great people and learned a lot o things I am going to need to know here shortly. The statue was out in front of the Virginia capitol building in Richmond. We did a tour of it and it is unbelievable some of the huge historic things that took place in the building. It is the oldest capitol building in the nation. It was very cool to see!
