'I was born and raised on a Wisconsin farm. After graduating as valedictorian of my class, I entered Northwestern as a chemistry major to become a physician. While in college, my teeth needed orthodontic work so I became friends with a local orthodontist and paid for my braces by mowing lawns and completing handy man jobs. Our friendship and his mentoring lead to my interest in pursuing a career in orthodontics.
I find dentistry to be very artistic so it goes hand and hand with what I enjoy doing at home. My life is an endless parade. I love to do a million things: play piano, sing in a polka band (Uncle Earl and His Fuzzy Cousins), garden & landscape, run in local races, play basketball & sports, read and fill my time with artistic projects such as special effects for my children's parties. I love to roll up my sleeves and live my life.
'I like coming to work because I meet different people and I work with kids. I have four children and four grandchildren. I also used to be nursery school teacher and I think that 's why I can connect so well with the kids.'
Hey there - When Keegan, Jesse and I left earlier today we briefly talked about you girls in the car and what resonated with me particularly is that my boys think you girls are like family. Thats saying a lot from two 17 years olds, right? They of course think I talk too much, but then say we (the 4 of us) have a lot of fun in the brief amount of time Im in the office.
Then one of them (dont remember which) said something like do you think most parents talk to them (meaning you three) as much as we do? to which I said I hope so. to which they said I dont think so, I think many parents are quiet and kind of beigeto which I said I think youre right, but then most parents are missing the point dont ya think? I think people are afraid to have fun in public and then they said yup.
Soooo the reason I felt the urge to tell you about this is two 17 year olds recognized that although we (okme) talk a lot, we have fun!!! Isnt having fun, as long as its at nobodys expense, cool??? I think so!
So you three can be quiet (Zitta)finish each others sentences (Mary Beth and Debbie), which I think is a compliment that you know each other that well or just enjoy working in an environment that feels like family. The end result is that you are all (Jim included) making a difference in people lives because of their outward appearance (their smile) and having fun doing it. How many people can say that they do THAT for a living??
I can hardly believe Emma is coming for impressions! Before time gets away from us, I wanted to thank you. All of our kids looked forward to visit, to talks, to hearing you sing or you asking them their opinion. The Saadi Bunch always have an opinion on anything! You always bowed them great respect and valued them. I am sure that you treat all of your patients well-but you made my kids always seem extra special. As a mom - I can never repay you for the encouragement and support. As painful as our cumulative orthodontic bill maybe. I am so incredibly grateful that our journey was with your office. I wish you and your family the best of everything! And congratulations! You have survived the Saadi kids!
