So as you all know, i am in europe, as i type, the traffic of Paris, France wizzes by outside the internet cafe door.
Today, our tour group visited the Palace of Versailles. Frankly, there are no words to describe just how amazing it was.
I am having a wonderful time, and cant wait to tell all of you about it!
Sorry this post has to be short, but the french keyboards are laid out a bit differently then ours, so its incredibly difficult to type on them!
See you all soon!

It's been one heck of a ride...
Well, I figured I would get this posted quickly, since I know that in a matter of hours, my mother will be all over this breaking news story like Americans on Oil Fields.
The big story is...
MY BRACES ARE OFF!!
That's right, I am done with those pesky mouth-shredders otherwise known as braces.
Currently I am wearing two clear plastic retainers to ensure that my teeth don't shift in the now clutter-free mouth of mine. I will have these for about a month or so, when I will start trying to ween my teeth off of them by taking them out for a few hours at a time, to see if they move any. Over time, I will wear them less and less until I only wear them at nights!
But I am totally cool with this, since basically just about anything is better than braces.
For those of you who know me well, and have known me, well, lets just say most of my life, know how huge of a deal it is to be done with braces. Braces have long been known to the orthodontic world to be the final step in dental correction.
I have been in and out (though mostly in) of orthodontic care since the ripe old age of 5. (or is it 6, mom?) Anyways, it's been a very long road, and, as the title so eloquently puts it, "one heck of a ride."
I began orthodontics work in FIRST GRADE, I even remember what my first retainer looked like: Bright orange with a Donald Duck sticker on it.
I have had just about every bit of correctional appliance and technique known to the world of orthodontics, and frankly, I am happy for the experience. It has taught me a lot.
So thanks everyone, for all your support and lack of cruel mockery of my mouth work, but thanks for the good-natured ribbing! :-)
And especially thanks to Mom and Dad for investing so much CASH, care, and support into this one VERY good looking set of teeth!
