Dental Problems

So last night as I was making dinner, I was snacking a bit on some chex mix. I was eating one of the pretzels when I realized that I couldn't chew something in my mouth. One of my teeth had broken. Don't get me wrong. I am one to brush my teeth and always have. I have weak enamel, so I always seem to have some sort of problem. My first root canal was when I was 6 years old, so if that tells you anything. My mom should have known that I was going to be one to go to the dentist every 3 months or so. Anyway, the tooth that had broken was one that has already had a root canal. I've needed 6 crowns for quite some time now, but money has been a huge issue. I applied for a Care Credit credit card for like the 3rd time, and I got approved today. It makes me happy that I'm going to be able to get my teeth fixed (and who knows, maybe down the road I'll be able to get veneers!).

I got so depressed last night. I was laying in bed last night, and just started crying. Brian was trying his best to comfort me, and tells me that everything will be ok, but I just have a hard time dealing sometimes. It just seems like I'm having health problem after health problem. I've always had dental problems, when I was 17 I was diagnosed with a stomach condition, I suffer from depression, and then last summer I was diagnosed with a heart condition known as Mitral Valve Prolapse. I've also recently been dealing with a planter wart (I know, gross, right?). I'm just constantly having doctors appointments left and right, and there's only so much I can handle. I'm sure my boss gets pretty frustrated, but my health comes first.

Sadie is Turning 2

I feel a big relief having invitations sent off now. I hope a lot of my family can come because I feel as if I don't see them anymore. Oh, the joys of growing up!

Brian recently got a promotion at work. I'm really excited about that! He deserves it so much. He's been there a little over three years now, and has advanced as fast as a person that's been there for 6 or so years. Another guy at his work was applying for the same position too, but he hasn't been too loyal to the company. He's quit at least 3 times, and has bad mouthed the company in past job interviews. Brian works for a sign supply company just across the street from where I work at a tile store. At least someone is getting a promotion! I've been awaiting something, but there isn't much room for advancement within my company. Maybe later on.

On a lighter note, Sadie is turning 2 tomorrow! I can't believe we've had her for almost 2 years now. She was so tiny when she was a puppy! I want to get another dog, but really don't want to go through the training again especially with the new carpet. Of course I would have to choose between 12 different dogs anyway!


Brian and I are both trying to sell our vehicles. Brian's car has been having a lot of problems lately. It's sad really because I LOVE his Trans Am. He bought it right before he met me, and it's pretty rare to see one on the road that's in good shape. He doesn't think his car is very ideal for him anymore. We can't go anywhere in it during the winter when it snows! I keep telling him I don't want him to trade it in unless it's for a Corvette or the new 2010 Camaro. But I want him to be happy. He's test driven a couple of Acura RXS Type S's, and he really likes them. We've got to fix up his car a bit first though.

As for me, I'm trying to sell my Ford Ranger. I want something with a lot better gas mileage, and I've test driven a couple of Toyota Corolla's. I really want a brand new one. I know there's some con's about buying a brand new vehicle, but with the accident Brian's dad was in almost a year ago, I want something safe and reliable. I realize an air bag or better seatbelts or whatever might not save your life, but I wouldn't mind the extra confidence! Also, I'm interested in having a baby in the next couple of years. You can't exactly be comfortable with putting a baby in a truck with no back seat, or a Trans Am with bucket seats in the back.

Anyway, I'm going to try and keep up on this blog thing! I'm on the internet all the time anyway!

Wedding Planning

If you all didn't know, we are getting married on September 6, 2008....about a month away! I never knew the stress that would go along with planning a wedding until we dove head first into it. I wanted to make the wedding as inexpensive as possible because I am really independent, and hate people spending money on me. All in all I think my wedding will cost less than $2000 including my dress! It's pretty amazing.

I decided on making my own invitations because of how pricy they are! All in all I've saved over $100.00! I put in about 20 hours printing, cutting, and all the fun stuff that goes along with that.

We're about 4 weeks away from the wedding, and it's definitely crunch time! It's crazy how fast this has come! I can't wait to call Brian my husband!
