New table and new grills!

After 15 1/2 years of marriage we finally made a furniture purchase at a real furniture store (Shopko does not count as a real furniture store!). We've been wanting this dining room table for a long time and we finally got it this last month. There was a little hassle with the delivery (a little surprise when we opened the box to find the wrong table), but after it was all said and done we are really happy with it. It's nice to have a seat for everyone at one time!

Emillie and I are also sporting new grills this month. She is wearing her Dr. Poole & Dr. Willis ortho sweatshirt that she got the day she got her braces, and I'm wearing my Nebraska College of Dentistry sweatshirt where my orthodontist, who is in the background, got his training. She was a good 2 weeks before she wasn't in a ton of pain, but lucky for me I was feeling pretty good after a week or so. Also lucky for me I will be done by the end of the year, she will be sporting her grill for two years. What we won't do for some mother-daughter bonding.

Something I forgot to blog...

A few weeks ago Taralee and a friend, Kristen, went to the Mall to go shopping. While they were there they bought milk shakes, but they didn't finish them. They brought them back to the house to eat them while they were "hanging out". When Kristen's mom came to pick her up I reminded her to get her milkshake from the Kitchen. She said, "Oh, yea" and ran off to get it. She came back empty handed and said she changed her mind she didn't want to take it with her.

I didn't think much of it until we said goodbye to them and I went into the kitchen only to find Justin talking on the phone, sipping on Kristen's milkshake. No wonder she changed her mind! We had a good laugh and Justin called Kristen to offer her a new milk shake next time they go shopping.
