Awesome News...

The braces are off!

I could have possibly got teary eyed when I looked in the mirror for the first time and saw my new smile.

I could have felt the need to quickly explain to the cute little ortho assistants that were all standing around watching me look in the mirror for the first time that it's not my fault I was emotional- it's my pregnancy's fault and the fact that I'm highly hormonal.

The first item of business now that I have a brace free mouth is to kiss my husband and then perhaps kiss him again (assuming I can still remember how).

Next on my list would be to consume an entire Zwahlen's caramel apple, but sadly I don't live in Philly any more and there is no Zwahlen's to be found in Utah. So I will be in search of the perfect caramel apple around these parts. I'm sceptical it can be done, but I'm determined.

Congratulations! I want to see a picture....try Rocky Mountain Chocolate Facotry for that caramel apple. I can't really offer a comparison to the Philly one, but maybe you will find it to be a decent substitute. Good luck!

You know, I'm headed back to Philly today for my test. What's your favorite kind of apple? (email me, I won't remember to check here)

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory!! Located right by Happy Sumo! We can have sushi and then an apple! It is seriously the best carmel apple ever!!

Sydney said...

That's huge news. Congrats!

I'd also say Rocky Mountain in the Riverwoods.

Can't wait to see your smile again!

Let's see those teeth!..... and did you know that Zwahlen's delivers? Pretty sure you could have one of those babies fed-exed, It'd probably be worth it. If not, I will eat one for you.

Congrats! Now let's see your new smile!
Nothing comapres to a Zwhalen's, so you should take Emily up on her offer!

Mindy said...

Holy time warp Batman! Didn't you just get those puppies on? Congrats on the (almost) metal free mouth. Happy kissing!!

Where are the before/after pics???

Also, will it help you if I track down one of those apples and eat it for you? Because I would do that for you.
