Because when it rains...

Because when it rains, it pours.... BUT there is always a rainbow at the end of the storm!

Today I had my first root canal. :( As if we needed to spend $1500 with all of the other expenses we have had lately and all the ones we have approaching. For those of you who haven't had the joy of experiencing this procedure, it was about three and a half hours of holding my mouth wide open AND because my tooth was so far back, the dental assistant had the hardest time getting the x-rays done mid-procedure. Three weeks from now I go for a two hour appointment to get fitted for my crown and then three weeks from that appointment they will put the crown on [my tooth]. See, I really am a princess!

So even though part of the day was daunting I had the best evening celebrating my birthday eve with my in-laws. My mother-in-law (MIL) made ribs, corn, asparagus and banana cake; everything was delicious. And in the present room (also known to some as the formal living room) I found my very own iPad mini in a cute polka dotted bag. I am putting it to great use right now!

I can't believe in just a few short hours I will be turning 26 years old. Although I know how young I truly am, it astounds me to realize that I am really turning 26! Where did time go? I am looking forward to what God has in store for me this next year. He never ceases to amaze me with rainy days -some with lots of storms- that I never understand but He always ends them with a rainbow and a life lesson.

Cheers to my last couple of hours of being 25!
