Another month, another braces update! I basically explained all the big basics last month so I thought I'd give this months update in a bullet point style!
+ I FINALLY GOT MY BOTTOM ROW OF BRACES ON! The snapchat picture (above) you can clearly see a tooth pushed a little forward and I KID YOU NOT a few hours later I looked at my teeth again and they were ALL perfectly aligned - braces are magic.
+ I had my regular monthly appointment about a week before I got my bottom row applied but the girl who adjusted my braces MISSED a an entire bracket so one of my front teeth started shifting back (see june 10th picture) so I went back a few days later and got it fixed!
+ Apparently my teeth are moving even faster than I thought! I got my bracket and wire fixed the Thursday (a full week) before I got my bottom row of braces put on and the ortho said it was already time for a thicker wire because the wire popped out of a bracket!
+ IM SO EXCITED SEEING ALL THIS PROGRESS! Seriously it feels like a slow and steady race but looking back at monthly progress and results makes it worth it! Can't believe how far my teeth have come in only TWO months!!!!

Hi guys! Soooo, I figured I'd do a life update this week since it has been awhile!
+ WORK! Ya girl is finally working again! I had so much anxiety for like two months straight because I was burning through my savings account like crazy BUT I also loved getting to plan my days how I liked and getting to do what I need and just relax for as long as I want haha. BUT I started working again and it honestly feels soooo much better knowing I'm making money to add to my savings than it did getting to sleep in everyday ;)
+ SCHOOL! I'm finally starting my last required class next week! Which means I will officially have my degree come this december! I hate that I let myself get distracted and put off track but I'm doing it FOR REAL this time ya'll ;)
+ LIFE/LOVE/EVERYTHING ELSE! I am sooooo in love with everything life is bringing to me! I feel so much more whole and happy because I'm able to do the things that make my heart full. I used to put aside doing all the things I loved because I felt like I didn't have time or the money to do it but now I get to just have fun! So I LOVE IT!
+ TRAVEL! STILLLLLL too chicken to book a plane ticket all by myself, so keep checking back for updates lol.
Thanks for reading guys! XO, me.
