First this happened –
And then this –
Woot! I’m not officially done with retainers but we’re doing a three-week trial of wearing them just at night. I’m not gonna lie; it’s possible I got choked up I was so excited to leave my orthodontist appointment without retainers in my mouth.
My first stop was Dunkin, where they apparently do not have soy milk. What’s up with that? Then I went to Starbucks. The ‘bucks never lets me down. I got a venti iced coffee with cinnamon dolche syrup and soy milk. Heaven. I’ve had some coffee during my last year of teen-style mouth-gear, but now I can finally savor it. Heaven.
And with that exciting-to-no-one-but-me update, I’m back to blogging!


Your mama is thrilled for you. You look beautiful!
