joy to the world...

I got my braces off a few months ago and because of this I have a retainer. 

Mom has one too. 

I never wear mine so mom agreed that if I wear mine she'll wear her's.

She can't talk with her's in. It's pretty funny. 

There's us with our retainers on.

Mom looks like she's 14. NBD

 Lucky for me...you can't see my retainer...bummer for mom, you can. 

bRaCeS...? NO WAY!

Today was one of the greatest days ever. I got my braces removed. YES! Finally! After 4 years my teeth look like this...

Before......After

Mallory, my cousin, and I at Doctor Trapnell's office. 

These are the pictures they took of me my very first visit. I was 11 at the time and I look HiDeOuS! I can't believe my mother and sister allowed me to look this way ;)

a post about nothing other than...tEeTth.

This is a post about nothing other than teeth, teeth, and more teeth.

 This is me when I was, oooh, lets say 7. Look at those gross little 7 year old teeth.

Beautiful, I know. My teeth only got better.

Then I entered the amazing world of...bRaCes. Yes, braces. I got them February 6, 2007. I was in 6th grade.

Now I am in tenth grade. It is September 29, 2010 and I still have braces. Many of my friends have always known me to be Erika Mouritsen with the rusty railroad tracks in her mouth.
Tomorrow,
these disgusting things will be GONE!!
I'm am seriously over joyed. I don't even know how to handle myself.
GOOD BYE UGLY BRACES, HeLLo pearly whites! :):):):):):):):)
