New Smile...

Well I seem to keep forgetting to post the fun pictures from our last trip to Malad. I promise to get them up by the end of the week.
But I did want to just say something that I am excited about that is happening. Well I am excited I am pretty sure Chris is getting scared. If you any of you know my husband, one of the things you might have taken notice to is that he never has an open teething showing smile. He also covers his mouth when he really starts to laughing. Well ever since I have meet my husband this is how he has always been. After we were married I asked him why he does it. Well he hates his teeth. Its not that they are bad, they just are crocked and stuff and well he just doesn't want people to see. I have told him for a while that I was going to put him in braces so he can feel comfortable with himself. Come to find out when he was younger they had started the process of fixing his teeth, and when it came down to getting the braces put on his parents backed out and said "Your teeth are fine, its not like you are having problems. So we are just going to leave them" Ya they pretty much just didn't want to fork out the money for it! That just doesn't sit well with me. Having gone through 41/2 years of having to wear braces, I just can't see why his parents just didn't do it.
Well I finally made Chris call and get an appointment scheduled for him to see an orthodontist. Its sad when the Dr. even said that his parents did the biggest disserves to him by not putting him in braces. So now we get to fix it and fork out the money. He is worth every penny of it. So I am excited that we are starting this process for him. He is a little scared seeing that he has to do an expander for 6 months first, which is REALLY going to suck, and then he will get the braces put on. But atleast he will be done with it all in about a year and half!! I looked at him and said, "Hey what a better anniversary gift then to say your wife is getting you a new smile!" (our 5 year is next thursday!!)
I will keep you up dated on how things go. Can't wait for the whining to begin! My husband I swear is the biggest panzy ever!!! He gets a cold and the world stops!! I can't wait to see what how he will be when his whole mouth is completly hurting!!!!

Logan is going on the second year of his braces, and there are moments when his mouth hurts. He goes back next week for a check-up and some more tighting. He'll sympathize with Chris.

My parents couldn't afford to get me braces so I too understand what Chris is going through. My teeth are crowed and I hate smiling. My husband has a fund set up for me and hopefully by next year I will be getting veneers and won't hide my smile anymore.
