Wordless Wednesday

Thank God for only 2!

2 cavities that is... I never thought I would be glad about cavities. But here is the story: So, I hadn't been to the dentist in awhile... so I looked up a dentist on my insurance's website. I found one that was really close to where I live. Not going to the say the name on here, but we'll call CDA (aka "cavity factory" by another dentist) for short. So, I go to CDA, get my teeth cleaned, x-rays done, all that good stuff and then they start checking my teeth! This dentist tells me I have 8 + cavities!! I am freaking out at this moment... I mean I know I haven't been to the dentist in awhile... but 8 is alot! So, I decided after much thought and pray that I needed to get a 2nd opinion. I go to the dentist who have gone to for years (only reason I didn't go before is because you have to file your own insurance) and she looks at my new x-rays and says, to my relief, that I only have 2 cavities! whoo! Such a relief! For the record... I trust her because I and my family have been going to her for years.

Lessons learned:
1) Stick to what you know! I should have gone to my family dentist from the beginning.
2) If something seems really outrageous... get a 2nd opinion!
3) ALWAYS get recommendations before you get a new dentist.

Thanking God for two cavities and not eight! :) 

Oh Fall...

Happy October!!! I just love fall! :) Esp. when it starts feeling like it... for awhile I though summer would never not end. But alas, it has and fall is upon us! Here are some fun fall decorative pictures...

This is little look at our bookshelf with all it's fall decor.

   This is my favorite new project... my friend Tricia and I decorated these pumpkins. Just between us, this was not a real pumpkin. It was a "craft pumpkin" from Michael's. We used the same little carving tools you use to carve a real pumpkin... isn't it fun?! :)

Thanks Natalie!

Thank you for your suggestion, Natalie! It worked! :)

Help!

So, my dashboard is all REALLY small. I can hardly see to type this... does anyone have any suggestions? It has been like this for at least a week... which is why I haven't posted! I don't know why it is like this....

PS...

Speaking of my friend Tricia-- you should check out her blog. She makes the most amazing cakes- check them out! :)

And she's back!

I'm back....

Okay, so blogging has not been as easy as I thought. My conclusion is that I really enjoy looking at the blogs of others, but can't seem to keep my own blog going. BUT with that said- if there is one thing I am it is determined and slightly stubborn. (just ask my husband) I am not going to give it up just yet. Track-out is just around the corner (t-one week!) and so is FALL! Fall is my favorite! I do have a couple projects in mind...

Upcoming projects (for track-out):
1) Decorate the house for fall-- pictures to come with that
2) Paint small canvases with some of the phrases from the love chapter (1 Cor. 13) such as "Love is patient", etc. to put up around some of our wedding pictures that we hung up. Hopefully, it will turn out as well as it looks in my head. :) My friend Tricia, who is the middle school art teach at Franklin and a dear friend of mine from Providence, has told me she will help. AND Micheal's is having a BOGO free sale on their small canvases! Hopefully, there will be some fun pictures to go along with this, also
Well, that is just about it... except for one thing. We had a good time at the beach this past weekend (Labor Day) with Keith's family. The weather was GORGEOUS, I learned some new card games, and I was convinced to take a 34 mile bike ride with Keith's parents!!! Talk about sore, but surprisingly had a really great time... whether or not Keith's parents did or not, I don't know, considering they had to go pretty slow for me. But it was a fun trip. Here are a couple of pictures:
