New Day

Well friends today is a new day. Well everyday is a new day, but today, today is the beginning of a new life! Ok that is a little dramatic BUT I am proud to announce that today is the first day since the age of NINE that I have had ALL my teeth!!! Its true. When I was a little girl, for many reasons that I cannot remember i had to have 2 of my molars removed. Since then, I have had 2 HORRIBLE bridges that were glued on to the teeth on either side of the missing teeth and they would fall out a day after the dentist put them back in. This happened more times then I could count until finally i just left them out and had to go hillbilly style. It was annoying, embarrassing even though people couldnt see it, and just frustrating. Its been a long haul but finally I get to enjoy any food without worrying if it will ruin anything, and the peace of mind knowing that I am whole again!!! Ok, so I sound like those cheesy people on the Clear Choice commercials. But i am SSOOO happy about it!!! p.s i didnt do Clear Choice just fyi

So now that I have a full mouth of pearly white chompers, I am also proud to announce that my wonderful husband has gotten in to ALL of the grad schools he has applied!!! I dont mean to toot our horn, but remember one year ago when we were DENIED to ALL the schools he applied, and how we were so lost on what we were doing with our lives, and where do we go from here, and what do we do now, and starting all over from scratch and it was SUCH a leap of pure faith to completely revamp our future. Well, I certainly remember, and for that i WILL toot our horn!!! When we were deciding what on earth we were going to do with our lives I prayed so hard everyday that something will come up, that we can be lead to opportunities that will be good for our family, and less that a year later we figured out what we were to do. When we were applying to schools again these last few months I prayed again so hard that if this was the right path that maybe we could get into just one school, just to confirm the choice we made. Can I just tell you how wonderful it is to know that you are on the right path!!! Im so glad for Ty and how hard he has worked to get to where we are.

P.s. it looks like we will probably be staying in P-town a while longer as one of those schools is BYU and there is NO WAY Ty would give up returning to his dream school again!!!

p.p.s. Lucy is walking!!! Well she is mostly still hanging on to things and crawling BUT we can get her walk all over the house when we get her in a courageous mood that is. Once i figure out how to upload a video, i will prove it!!!
