Luvin' my Braces!

Just a quick note to let everyone know I have my first tightening on Sept 10th and I can not wait to go in and get my teeth tightened...that means I will be closer to a corrected jaw and a perfect smile! I didn't think I'd look forward to this appointment, but I'm excited/nervous to see what my ortho has to say. I'm hoping that he tells me my grill has been doing an amazing job and that I will get my braces off sooner! I know I'm optimistic but you never know :) It's amazing how fast my teeth have moved! My teeth are noticeably much straighter and look better. The downside is that I have gaps in between my teeth that I didn't have before! I'm guessing this is normal if it's not let me know pls! I'm thinking that the 'powerchain' everyone talks about is meant to pull teeth together and close the gaps?! Any comments would be appreciated! :) It will be two months at the end of next week...time flies! 2 months closer! So excited! I'm sure time will fly by.

Question to my followers:
Does the pressure on your teeth ever go away? My guess is no because I have felt pressure since day numero uno! I know it means my teeth are moving but will my teeth ever feel normal?

VEGAS!!!!

This weekend I went to Sin City Las Vegas to celebrate Lil' M's last night out on the town as a single lady :( Tear!!! But we celebrated with a BANG! (My grill included) We (BFFV, Salma, and M) had the most AMAZING room! we were blessed and lucky enough to have a suite an the MGM Grand Hotel and it was to die for! I've been to Vegas 7 times before and this time was by far the best room! We had an amazing balcony over looking the strip which just put the cherry on top of everything else!

I'm going to keep this post short since "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" and I am living up to that saying! shhhhhh!! Let's just say all my DG's and I had a fabulous time filled with memories we will never ever forget!

xoxoxoxo to all of my DG's out there! I heart ya girls!

Smile :D

Birthday Week!!!

I know I've been a bad bad blogger lately! Sorry fellow followers! I've been so busy this summer it's really quite amazing I'm still here! My birthday was by far one of the best best best birthday's I've ever had! It's really hard to imagine I would have the best birthday thus far considering my braces. It really goes to show that the thrill of my grill is empowering me day by day. Last year I could say was one of the worse birthdays for various reasons...and if someone would have asked about this year I would have imagined it be the same or worse with the new grill...needless to say the grill didn't stop my from having a fab fab time!

I'm calling this blog my birthday 'week' blog because I spent my birthday in Seattle celebrating Thursday, Friday, Sat (my actual bday day), Sunday, and Monday!!! I know! I didn't think my grill and I had it in us! Thursday I did work part of the day and later that night I drove to BFF's house in Seattle with a buddy. That night we celebrated with a little shopping and din din at the Cheesecake factory! Yummers! The next day we celebrated by going to the Mariners game! Go Mariners! (even though they lost that day :/) We had awesome seats sitting 18 rows up from the third baseline! I just wish I remembered more of it!!! I had one too many beers for the M's and I paid for it the next day :/!




The next day was my real real birthday day! LOL I pulled myself together polished my bedazzeled grill and BFF Vanessa and I went out for a night on the town...RAWR! We went to dinner and later met up with some friends to go dancing! So much fun...and my grill and I got a good workout! I though I would feel self conscious about going out with my grill but the more I expose my self the less and less worried I am about it...especially after a few drinks! Oh yeah and later that night as I was waiting in line to get a Seattle hotdog my shoe decided it was tired and gave out on me! :( I literally fell right on my ankel as I was STANDING!!! No I was NOT drunk I swear because I ran down town Seattle with my heels and nothing happened...but don't let me stand because I will fall! OMG so embarrassing! but I survived...a bloody ankle and a bruised ego...but still survived!



Sunday was spent relaxing and shopping with BFF and Monday night was concert time!!! WhooHooo! We had 4th row seats to Motley Crue and GodSmack! So awesome! We got our rock on and had a fabulous time!!! I have to say I'm usually not a rock type of gal...but once there I rocked on! Needless to say I had a fabulous birthday with the best people in the world and my braces made it that much better! So to all my fellow bracers embrace your braces and ROCK ON!!!!
