well I don't really know how tagging works but since theres only 4 people who read this blog you are all tagged.
So yeah, the braces thing, I found out today that I will be getting braces Dec. 2nd. I have an open bite which means only my back 2 teeth on both sides touch when I bite down. Its putting strain on those teeth and they are showing signs of wear and tear. They arent meant to take all the chewing and grinding and pounding...So now at 32 years of age it's time for me to get braces. They say I 'll have to wear a retainer for the rest of my life ...Jeannie and Dave where are your retainers?

Real Excitement!

I know, I know its been almost 3 years since I wrote something. I usually feel like the stuff that happens in my life just isn't that exciting. But today a happy thing happened. I have a friend at work who is constantly asking me questions about the church. He wants a CTR ring and he spent 15 mins looking at all 150 temples on the church website. He is very curious and I would say 'golden'. Not 2 nights ago I said to Ken if he could just have one discussion with a set of really great missionaries he would be converted. Now I'm not saying he is going to get wet any time soon but today started off like many previous days with my friend asking question after question. I finally asked him, "would you like to talk to the mormon missionaries" I told him they are the same age as him and they could answer all his questions and it would be so cool. He said yes!. " I think I will take you up on that..." he said. I also asked him if he would like to go to the visitor center at the temple. And again he said "yes." I'm thrilled to pieces. That my friends, is exciting!
