It was recently Steven's Birthday and I decided to throught a surprise birthday dinner with the whole family. It was fun and I'm very PROUD to say that he had NO idea!! It was fun to see the look on his face! (Just wanted to thank Sarah and Jeff for going super early and getting us the BEST table in Olive Garden)

The whole family! Doesn't Steven look so happy!

Singing Happy birthday.

This is the dessert I got.... and I must say it was AMAZING!!!

Credit Cards

So I'm very proud to say..... that I have pretty much cut up all my credit cards today. I've been meaning to do it for awhile now. I guess I was just afraid of hurting the poor companies feelings. But now I know they don't have feelings and it felt pretty good getting rid of them, specially since I don't use them. It will look better on my credit score too for doing that. Which is pretty cool too! So I'm down to two and hopefully down to none by the end of this year. DEBT SUCKS and its kinda scary how fast you can fall if your not careful. So I'm happy to say I can check off one goal I've achieved this year!!! Now only 99 more to go......

What a way to start out the year!

What a way to start out the new year!!!

Well for the past couple of weeks I've been having pain in my jaw. I would wake up and have migraines in the morning, take something then go to work. Then the pain started to get worse and it hurt to chew. My left side would pop even if I opened my mouth slightly. The pain got so bad that I couldn't fall asleep and woke up my parents in the middle of the night. Asking them to either take me to the emergency room or give me medication that would dull the pain. My mom gave me something that really knocked me out. I woke up that morning groggy but decided it was time to find a doctor that could help. I didn't know where to start. I didn't know if I should go to a regular medical Doctor or a dentist. Thankfully I have a good friend Steven that called his mom (she's a dental assistant) and asked her professional opinion. She suggested to go see a dentist. So I called my dentist asked if there was any way to see him.... he said no. So I called Dr Buxton who said he could get me in right away. THANKFULLY! So I went to see him and he touched my jaw and made me open and shut a few times and could hear and feel the popping going on in my jaw.

He told me my jaw joint comes out completely out of its socket. He unfortunately couldn't do anything but refer me to a specialist that next day. He did give me a prescription to dull the pain. The next day I went to a Specialist and waited about 2 hours to see him. He asked me a lot of questions and decided that it was muscles around my jaw that was giving me pain. He suggested that I not eat anything but mush and not work for 1-2 weeks because he was putting me on muscle relaxers. I must say I do feel a lot better then I did. But I am on serious pain medication. What a way to start out the new year right?
