I’m eating popcorn right now. It’s heavenly.
Like I’m not even joking. This is the best bag of popcorn I’ve ever eaten.
This is me on January 9th of 2010, almost two years ago. And also my professional photo-bombing friend, Danny.
This is me about 3 hours ago.
Yep there’s just a bit of a difference there. I mean hardly noticeable…
Nope.
I don’t know if you can tell from the pictures, but the entire shape of my face has changed. It’s been a pretty crazy experience, and if you’ve ever read any of my other braces-related posts you’ll know it wasn’t exactly a pleasant one, but still! My teeth are straight and I am happy.

Well…mostly. I have to wear this retainer for a while and it makes me have a lisp at first. Buuuut supposedly I’ll get used to it and will be able to talk normally within a few days. But for now, my parents are getting a good kick out of it.

It felt pretty weird, and I’m still getting used to it. But I’ve been debrace-ified so all is well! Yay!

Is it wrong that I’m kinda hoping you still have the lisp when we get there?
Beautiful! That is a huge difference. And I think you look even more like your mom now.
See you soon!

Hehehe no and I’m not sure if I disappointed you by not having a severe one anymore but my speech is still slurred a bit so you shouldn’t be TOO disappointed.
Thanks! I can only consider that a complement.
See you soon…NOW!
