I think Tanner's expression shows more how excited I am to be done with braces. I've had them off for a few months now, and I can't tell you how happy I am to be done! I had them on for about 15 months, and when I first got them on I'm pretty sure I thought it was the end of the world. After looking back though, I am so glad Jake and I decided to do them. It's been something I have been self-consicious with my whole life, and it's weird to think it's just something of the past. Although it was definitely painful and hard at times, SO glad I took the plunge!
I am grateful Jake and I had the means to do it, and even more grateful to go thru it being pregnant, because everyone looks at your belly, not your teeth ;) Jake only requirement is, I have to smile more, which I still need to work on!!
