Wanna know a secret? I hate the dentist. No, like I REALLY hate the dentist. I'd go to the gyno 1,000 times before I'd go to the dentist. I'd rather donate a kidney, shave my head, pierce my tongue. Ok, maybe not pierce by tongue.
Anyway, I haven't been in awhile. Years actually. GASP I know. After every baby I would go to the dentist and hear, "cavity here, cavity here, cavity here." Thing is, I brush with my sonicare, I floss religiously. I use mouthwash. I brush at least 3 times a day if not more. My teeth are evil and I hate them. I have my dad's stupid teeth. I'm glad my kids have their dad's teeth. It's so not fair. I was terrified to go to the dentist again after having the baby. I've put it off and put it off until the guilt of it all was consuming me.
Anyway, I faced my fear this week. I went to the dentist. I got my teeth cleaned. And, I had NO cavities. Cue the choir!!! I promised to get back on track with appointments. I would never in a million years miss my kids' dental appointments but I've neglected myself for so long. It's time I make myself a priority again. With my teeth anyway.
Went to lunch with friends on Wednesday. So fun to laugh and catch up. Sissy wore her new white coat that my sweet friend in Boise bought me. She said it reminded her of me. Landon said she looked like a mad scientist. Wait, maybe that's what my friend meant. ???
Anna wasn't liking Jake so much but he was loving her. Girls are so indecisive I tell ya.
We ran out of jam a couple of months ago and since my husband is a self proclaimed jam snob and we are apparently raising a bunch of jam snobs I had to whip up a batch to hold us off until summer.
The boys thought it would be FUN, EXCITING, AWESOME to sign up for the (not mandatory) Science Fair. We decided to put flowers in water, salt, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and diet soda to see which preserves the flower the longest. We put a tsp. of each in the vases and woke up the next morning to all of the flowers DEAD except for the water. Greeeeeaaaat. We started over, got new flowers, and decided to only put 1/8 of a teaspoon in instead. Trial and Error.
Went out with a bunch of girlfriends for a girls night on Friday! We went and saw Safe Haven. I usually read every Nicolas Sparks book but hadn't read this. I really liked the movie. It was romantic, intense, scary, cute all wrapped up together.
I've heard of couples taking racy photos of each other. These are the kind that Nate and I take of each other. Love that guy. Will we ever grow up? I think not.
I've been on a major decrapifying (made that word up) binge this week. I know we don't' move for quite some time but I want the move to be as easy and organized as possible. I was going through a ton of old photos and thought I'd share a few:
Big Nate during Law School:
Me: (Anna is a mini me for sure)
Me and Yamo back in '92: (where are my pants???)
Nate as the Relief Society President while he was on his mission: (He really was)
Ok, getting delirious here. Time to call it a night.
