When I can be grateful, life is good.

The chipmunk cheeks are gone! I'm really happy, getting these 3 wisdom teeth out was way easier than getting just 1 out in 2012. 

One more picture of chipmunk cheeks because it's funny. 




I've been feeling pretty good one minute and then horrible the next. As soon as I lay down for a bit I feel good again, until I move around and feel gross. It's sort of like a rollercoaster.

I'm not sure if it's just a flare up from the wisdom teeth surgery or if I'm fighting a bug. 


Regardless, I have a lot I'm super thankful for today:

  • I never have to get wisdom teeth pulled again!!!! (unless I magically grow a 5th wisdom tooth...is that possible??) 
  • I didn't vomit once this past week! (despite coming close a few times)
  • I managed to deal with the pain without taking stronger painkillers. Usually I'm a baby when it comes to pain so I'm proud of myself for this. 
  • I can eat solid foods again! yummm...
  • I saw the oral surgeon today and he said I'm healing really well with no infection (even though we decided to skip the antibiotics)
  • life is good when you really put things into perspective. 

I am so incredibly blessed and have such wonderful, loving people in my life. I also have a ridiculous dog who is constantly making me laugh. His latest thing is that when he passes gas, it scares him so badly that he jumps up and races across the room. 

Despite all the things I really wish I could have/do, I have more than enough and am continuing to learn how to be content, regardless of my circumstances.
