Day 172 Part 2

Side story before this post:

I have this tooth that wasn't doing too well. Actually, it was just fine, until the Dentist saw him and decided that the filling was deteriorating and was in danger. So the logical thing to do was to put a crown on it. I was horrified. After talking to others though I soon found out that this was a good thing because he caught it early instead of too late which might have meant a root canal. Yuck. 

So, getting a crown is done in two steps.

Step 1: get an impression, file down the tooth and put a temporary on

Step 2: wait for permanent tooth to be made (2-3 weeks), go back to the Dentist and have it put on

Sounds painless right? It's supposed to be. Unless you're like me and you get an infection after getting the temporary on. After 5 days of pain I decided to go back and the nice Dentist prescribed me some antibiotics and Lortab. Now on to the pictures.

The night after going to the Dentist, Eric, Kolten and Cory decided to go on a bike ride. Since I hadn't taken a Lortab yet, I went along to be the driver. I won't lie, it was pretty great driving Kolten's truck around town. I even got to drive around the mountain to take pictures of the Quail Fire in Alpine.

 

See the flame? They were incredibly big

The next day was the 4th of July. I woke up feeling pretty good so I decided to tag along with Eric and his family to go boating at East Canyon. Big mistake.

I took more of my antibiotics and decided to take a Lortab so I wouldn't be in pain all day. Again, big mistake. We got to the marina and as we were floating around waiting for Eric's dad to park the truck, my stomach became so queasy. I instantly told Eric I needed to get off the boat so we planned on me sitting off for awhile and then coming back out when my stomach settled.

While hanging out at the picnic tables in the shade I made a cute, new friend. If only I would have had my crackers with me

 After about 30 minutes, I was ready to get on the boat. I was feeling much better and even took some pictures.

 

After 20 minutes of being on the boat my stomach was done. I had the family drop me off one last time. Unfortunately my picnic table had been taken by a family doing a BBQ so I resorted to laying in Cory's car the rest of the afternoon. It was the absolute worst. I felt horrible. It was extremely hot. And to top it off, I was trapped. I couldn't call anyone to come get me, I had no other way of getting home, so all I could do was sit and wait. I decided then and there that the Lortab was not worth it and I haven't taken another one. What a holiday.

Happy to say that I now have my permanent tooth in my mouth. It's pretty dang sore but that's because I have a canker sore. Want to know what it's from? They had to numb me real good because my tooth was very sensitive. I ended up being numb for about 5 hours. When the numbness began to wear off, something started to hurt. I figured it was just part the procedure and didn't think twice about it. That's when I felt it. There was still a cotton rod under my tongue. This whole time I hadn't been able to feel it because I was numb! So now I have a nice canker sore to remind me of it. Thanks a lot cotton rod.

Day 172 Part 1

Nick and Amy got married!

Curse those shoes - they gave me horrible blisters

Love this picture - Zach & Toby, Eric is praying, Abe is barefoot

 

It was such a great day and I'm so happy for them. Amy was the prettiest bride and the best part is all the stories/memories. 

"Are these the teams for dodgeball later?"

Day 146

We bought a truck!

I haven't taken any pictures and I tried to find online but none of them did George justice. Yes, I named him George. Don't know why, it just fits.

It's such an awesome feeling knowing we're headed in the right direction. We can know clean up the Jeep, put a For Sale sign in the window and get rid of the car payment. It's going to be so great. 

We also got wind that a family is moving out of the complex we want to move into in Kaysville. I am crossing my fingers and toes that it works out for us. I called and left a message for the manager but haven't heard anything. This is the worst, now knowing if there are any families ahead of us or if we're next in line. I just wish he would call me back. 

Last night I went to a bridal shower for my sister, Amy, who is getting married next week (which I can't believe). It was so much fun and I was laughing hard multiple times. Her roommates threw it all together and they had the yummiest food. There was Olive Garden soup and salad, with thick slices of french bread and delicious homemade desserts. Oh so good. 

Oh yeah, have you heard that it's supposed to hit 100 degrees this weekend? I think I might need to take a siesta to Cherry Hill with the family.

Day 141

Happy Father's Day! 

Realized that I don't have any pictures of my in-laws Mike and Keith. I'm going to have to work on that. I love all the Dads in my life. They are the best role models to me and Eric and they are all Priesthood holders which is an extra blessing in my life.  

Last week I hiked Bell Canyon twice. Once just to the lake with Mom and Em and then later in the week to the Upper Falls with Zach and cousin Taylor. The first time, we saw a rattle snake. If you look above the black arrow, you can see the body.

The second time we woke up early and made it to the Upper Falls. It was steep and hard (for me) but well worth it. Hopefully Eric and I can go soon.

Day 138

Went and got my hair done today and I'm very happy.

I went in to get a trim and to do my bangs and walked out with a cut, new bangs, deep conditioner, and a new style to play with. The best part is it's a style that I can do! Yeah!

Last Saturday we had a little shower for Amy to celebrate her upcoming wedding. It was fantastic, well other than it was cold and windy outside so we had to move inside. Sadly these are all the pictures I have. I need to make a promise now to take more on the wedding day.

Monday I went on a hike with Mom and little sister. Little sister almost stepped on a rattle snake, it was amazing and horrifying all at the same time.

Day 132

Here are pictures from the Dirty Dash. Yup, I'm still talking about it
