Freedom!!!!!

And they're off!! 22 months ago I received a wonderful yet painful gift...braces! Joe works for an orthodontist so it made sense to take advantage of the opportunity to perfect my smile without have to spend the thousands of dollars that it would typically coast. While the idea of having a perfect smile was very appealing, the idea of getting braces at 29 was not. I did however decide to go through with it and last November went to Dr. Berts office to receive my braces, and walked out looking like a 13 year old again. It has been quite a challenge having braces an adult, my teeth just didn't want to move like they did when I was 13 and had braces for the first time. My mouth felt like it was in prison and I couldn't wait to get them off. But with much hard work and and wonderful Dr. I was able to reach the goal of that perfect smile and this past Wednesday the braces came off!! What a great day! Here are few pics from the big event!

I just want to wish a happy Grandparents day to two of the the most wonderful people I know, Joy and Carl Markey! We would also like to wish a Happy grandparents day to O. F. Bengtson Joe's Grandfather. We are both so lucky to have such wonderful relationships with our grandparents and we are so thankful for all that they have done for us over the years. I can't imagine my life with out them. They are a pure source of joy in my life and they always make me smile! I love you Grandma and Grandpa, thank you for all you have done and for always being such a big part of my life and all of your grand kids lives! We are so lucky that God gave you to us!
I would also like to wish a happy first Grandparents day to my mom and dad Marty and Peggy Hawks. They became grandparents for the first time this year when my nephew Fletcher was born.
