Roots

I think I can officially consider going to the dentist as a hobby now. It had been five whole years since I stepped into that death trap of a place when I was home for Christmas, and after two days of drilling and filling i still needed to make 6 more appointments to get my grill functioning properly again. 6 appointments!? It gets worse. I am not covered as far as insurance purposes out here in Utah, so I have to make my dentist appointments according to flight fares and work. It is heinous, but I would much rather spend several hundred dollars on plane tickets then $10,000.00 for all of this work. 

I flew home last week for two days and went straight from the airport to the dentist, and then straight from the dentist to the airport the following day. He performed 2 root canals, and after all of the hype on how atrocious they are, it really wasn't that bad. Did my mouth still hurt though? Absolutely. I was able to get a pic on my phone of what was going on in my mouth while the dentist was away.

My jaw hurt for a good three days after that. 

Even though it was only for one night, it was good to be home and be with my family. When I was preparing for dinner I opened up some cupboards and noticed we still have signs up that my best friend made YEARS ago, I'm talking a good 8 at least, and it made me so happy to see them still there. She also put one on the back of my parents bedroom door, though I cant recall what it said. 

The one on the far right says "steph is such a hottie", yep, she's my best friend. 

I returned home the next day and was back to work. Oh joy.

But onto better news, I bought a mountain bike! I am VERY well pleased with this purchase and am so excited to start taking it out on some trails. I tested her out last Monday and am just getting used to adjusting the gears. I cant wait until Danielle fixes her tires so we can ride together!

I also may have spent all of my tax return already. I didn't get much back, but between my mountain bike and decorations the money is now gone. Oops :)

This new picture above our kitchen table.

Nothing new here, but I liked how I rearranged our fruit in these vases

 I spray painted Beethoven gold and joined him with some other new trinkets that I put above our TV.

I also bought many new picture frames and made an arrangement above our couch, but i forgot to upload the picture, and quite frankly I am too lazy to do so right now.

Nothing extremely exciting going on in my life right now, but these are just some of the things that have been keeping me busy while i am in this place they call "Winter". It shouldn't be much longer until I can roam freely in my humble abode of SUMMER!
