Since my last post, I have had something really big happen in my life. Something I've wanted for a long time but never thought I would actually attain. No, I'm not getting married, yet! I GOT BRACES!! I had been going back and forth about how I was going to afford getting braces (they are just so darn expensive!) and I finally came to terms that I would just have to wait until I could really afford them.
A week or two later, my boss told me that she wanted to PAY FOR MY BRACES!! SAY WHAT!? How is this possible? I had discussed it with her one time and said I was just going to wait until things got more settled. (I found a new apartment, paid all of the deposits, got moved in and what not.) Never did I EVER ask her to help or mention that I would need help! God sure knew what he was doing when he made her! So, here I am a little over a month into my braces and it's something I never thought I would get to experience. Getting the braces put on was not painful in the slightest, but it was that evening that was the worst day since getting them on. I had to get biting turbos put on my back molars to help correct my overbite and they make it so I can't bite down all the way. For the first week or so, I was slurping most of my food & it was really painful. But I've gotten pretty used to them now, only a few things really hurt when I eat them.
Next up on the teeth list is getting 6 teeth pulled. Yep, you read that right. 6! I will be getting my 4 wisdom teeth removed, one of my 12 year old molars that never came in and a tooth from the top row. My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday, the 30th. I am very nervous, but I know this is the next step in the process. Hopefully all goes well and everything will be looking better for Maddie's wedding and Missy's wedding! Well, more to come soon!
Thanks for reading! xoxo.
p.s. Here are a few pictures of me with the braces on. One with D, (one of the boys I nanny for) two with Zach, and one with my beautiful sister, Emily.
