My BA Meeting

Welcome to Braces Anonymous. Please state your name and your reason for being here.

"Hi, my name is Darci and I am getting braces."


Yes, you heard it right. I am 28 years old and I am going to be brace face. The time has finally come, it has been in the works for years. (Law school slowed the process) Ironic enough Gwenie started teething this week just as I got spacers in, so we are both complaining about teeth pain. Something to laugh about, poor Brett.

Don't expect to see me in pictures for the next 2 years, but who am I kidding I TAKE all the pictures so I am never in them anyway. Maybe that was part of my plan with buying the new camera? Brett will not even touch it, so it is all up to me.hehe.

The next two years are going to be crappy, but it will be worth it. I have to repeat that to myself, it is going to be worth it, maybe I will believe it. I can't eat anything, and I don't need to lose weight so it is not a benefit. I can only think ahead to the time they are pulled off and I will finally like my smile. I really hope this means less time in the Dentist chair. *SMILE* I have been told that this process will eliminate alot of my teeth issues, and boy, do I have TONS of those. I have been plagued with bad teeth from the cradle. I am not even joking on that. The few times I have cried have ALL been in the dentist chair, dentists hate me.

As a pick me up I changed the look of the blog while Gwenie took a nap today. I am really happy with the header, I am in the mood for red. Plus I thought with fall coming it would be great fall colors. I took that picture of Gwenie with my blog title (just a peek) in the back of my mind. I know you were all surprised that I kept my last template for so long, usually I change it every week. I was really happy with the last one, it took a long time to get tired of it. Don't be surprised to see me back in action.

The next two years will fly by and they will be worth it. I want braces again (for the third time) so I am a little jealous. I am waiting until I am done having kids, one pain at a time.

I love the idea of the photo.

Good for you getting it all taken care of. I am very sympathetic to all the pain but know you will be happy with the results. It will be worth it eventually, do try to keep that in mind. Keep letting us know how you are feeling.

I love the new look of your blog...i would love to know how you got the picture up at the top! I tried to put a picture up there on mine and didn't fit????

About the braces...all i can say is it will be worth it! I didn't get braces until i was out of high school...and trust me it sucked to be in college and to have braces! I felt so stupid! And yes, it hurts like a mother!!...But time flys and soon you will look back and realize it really wasn't that big of a deal! It will all be worth it because you will have beautiful teeth! (i don't think you really need them...but hey!)

The new look is super cute! And yes....braces will definitely be worth it! Plus...they make you look younger (not that you need to worry about that yet!)

Darci said...

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.

Erin, thanks it turned out great.


Jill, I make the header in Photoshop, then put it up on blogger.

Your teeth will be beautiful and you'll be so glad you did it! The time will fly by, look how fast time flies because of Gwenie!

I love your new look, it's great!

Hey, hopefully by the time your braces are off we'll be moving out of your parents house! I think we should come up with some really awesome way to celebrate, don't you?

Darci,
The time will fly by, but I feel for you. What can we make you for the Saturday Beach BBQ?
Love,
Dad
