Tooth, that is..... I am officially an adult! At the ripe old age of 29, I no longer have ay baby teeth! I had a baby tooth pulled that was nothing but trouble and now I'm back in junior high.... Yep! I am a brace face. I got braces on my bottom teeth to close the gap that was left by that stupid baby tooth. I had a bit of a crisis yesterday before going into the orthodontist. I REALLY didn't want to be a brace face again. I BEGGED him to let me have the clear braces instead of the metal ones. After a bit of persuasion, he gave in. Despite the fact that it feels like someone punched me in the jaw, it hasn't been too bad adjusting to them. I still haven't quite figured out how to smile, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Gimme 12 months, and my teeth will be good as new again! In the meantime, at least people can't call me a metal mouth!

my braces in all their glory!

not as noticeable as I thought they would be- I have not idea what is up with my eye, though...
On another note, I just bought my tickets for my summer vacation... I'm SO EXCITED!!! I'm going to spend a week in Russia visiting some of my favorite people and showing my friends around my favorite place, and then I'm off to Greece and Turkey for a Mediterranean Cruise... It's my dream vacation.. CAN'T WAIT! :)
