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.

Love the table and chairs! That is always a much needed purchase! Braces - YUCK! Hated mine, but pretty sure Lizzy will be getting them soon!

Wow it's gotta feel NICE to buy some "real" furniture! I can't wait until we are able to do that.....it still seems like forever away though. What a great mother daughter bonding experience, thankfully yours only has to be on for 1 year not 2! =)
