Ortho Appointment 20 years later!

One of my goals of 2008 is to really work on myself, and fix up the things I haven't been able to do because of constantly being pregnant or nursing. I haven't been able to fit in certain things, or do things because I was busy with the kids etc. Well, yes I am busier than ever...BUT with Courtney being our last I can see my future a bit better. I can start to plan for things I couldn't do before. Like get retainers AGAIN.

So, last night I searched the name of my orthodontists from years ago. Thank goodness for the Internet! So, I called the office and left a message about wanting to get retainers made to keep my mouth in shape. Well, they called back this morning and they are still in the same building after all of these years and they still have my old record which is 20 years ago at least! And, they also have my Mom's record. So, I am going in January to be re-fit or retro fitted lol for new retainers. I am going to bring a photo of myself from the day I got my braces and bring it (and the scummy retainers!!) I am so excited. I wonder if I will be remembered. Did you know I STILL have my braces in a little envelope from the day I got them off in my 16th year? I cannot get rid of those. They were a HUGE part of my life for 3 years.

Once I hit my goal weight in October 2008 I am going to get ZOOM whitening done. That is my ultimate reward...and who wants to cram a bunch of garbage in your mouth when you have nice pearly whites...lol. I am hoping the teeth will be the incentive to keep the weight off. And, also reward myself for my lifetime achievement of NO cavities EVER!!! I want to celebrate that part of me! I have been wanting to get this done for YEARS!!

2008 is my year to shine my big smile again. I have so much to smile about!!
