Is it really April already?

Sheesh, spring time gets busy around here (even if it is still snowing every other day.) There’s been a lot of running around lately. Here’s a couple of highlights from my past week-

I’ve had family in town. Yea for cousins!!

We’ve started spring soccer.

I gained a new nickname, Metal Mouth.
Here’s a before shot:

(note the space between my top and bottom teeth- that gaping hole is the reason I’ve gotten braces. I’m looking forward to finally eat ham sandwiches without the ham sliding out on to my chin because I can’t bite it with my teeth.)

After:

(Hip hip hurray! Sort of. Yes, they are the clear kind. I’ll get the bottom ones on in May.  Let me admit, though, how silly and foolish I feel as an adult having braces. I’m not quite used to them even though I had them at 14. I think it’s much easier as a teen when all your peers have them too. I also think that our pain tolerance as teens is much better. Ouch!)

That’s it for now.

ps. My ankle is doing much better. It’s still stiff but I can walk almost pain free. Yea. I haven’t tested it yet. That’s the scary part. I’m anxious to get exercising again. I’m afraid my bottom is starting to get larger by the day. Yikes!
