Congratulations! I've never been brave enough to get braces. Woo Hoo for You. TFS, Smooches... Felicia at scrapperinthemaking.blogspot.com
I bet it feels good to have them off... I had braces for 3 years in high school... glasses and braces! OH MY!! my lips slid so smoothly over my teeth when I got them off... it was the strangest feeling, did you have to get a retainer? after a few months I stop wearing mine and not teeth stated to shift not too bad but I notice it... and you dont look like a high school student any more! YAY!!
YAAY for Karlee!!! Don't they feel so slimy!?! They look gorgeous!
Gorgeous smile...I don't know how people where them...I think I'd feel claustrophobic in them...yikes!
Hi Karlee!!
FANTASTIC SMILE!! I'm so used to seeing you w/braces it almost didn't seem like you had them! Must be a big relief! Cutie, cutie, cutie!! So?! WHAT DO YOUR KIDS THINK? AND I'LL BET HUBBY IS HAPPY TOO! Now you need to focus on your finger. See? the Lord works in mysterious ways. He only allows as much as you can handle! FEEL BETTER SOON! Don't forget to let us know how you're doing (bet it's hard to type!)
