Save The Date

So a few weeks ago I went to the orthodontist and got my braces tightened once more. I didn't really feel the need to explain how I felt like a loser of a fist fight between me and my 200 year old orthodontist, however, it is notable that they put in the THICKEST wire they own in preparation for my surgery. I was told that during our next session, two weeks from now, I'll finally be getting my surgical hooks, which makes it about as real as knowing when the actual surgery date is
sooooo....
I am officially happy to announce that the first big day is June 11th
And the second surgery is scheduled July 15th

it's all coming really fast
and as much as i want to enjoy that fact, there are a lot of things that I've got to overcome before the big day like ENT visits,  Physician visits, pre op, pre-surgery shopping,(cue dramatic music) DENTIST visits,
not to mention AP exams, State standardized testing, End of year exams, end of year projects, trivial auditions, SATs and state competition
AND AMIDST ALL THIS STRESS, I'm just sitting here making lists of the last things i want to eat before my entire culinary artillery is reduced to a single straw for 2-3 months
(feel free to read about that here)
I mean obviously I've got my priorities straight right?


There is officially a countdown on my phone to renew the excitement in my eyes everytime im having a bad day or hankering to know when the bell will ring or if im late for school but anyways i just want to thank  whoever's out there reading this for taking the time to do so and sharing da gr8 news

so
now im going to get working on that list again

just kidding im studying ok (lol)


Below are some pictures of me after getting my braces tightened (with black bands 'cause my good friend told me they'd make my teeth look whiter and who doesn't want that?)

This is right before UIL Competition about 3 days after they were tightened

This is from my NHS induction 2 hours after they were tightened

Shout out to my homies that never let me feel anything less that supported in everything that I do and accomplish and who are also helping me throughout this journey as well.

I love you all endlessly.
