Feeling Happy
Hearing Stand By Me- John Lennon



Much has changed in my life since the last time I've written. I graduated from my dentist assisting program and got a fabulous job at the dentist office I've been going to for 14 years. LoL, its like a real adult job with vacation time and full health benefits (never thought I'd be excited about health benefits). It is so great to get up every morning and go somewhere that makes you happy. For a long time I could never imagine myself finding a job that I wanted to do. I think I got really lucky. It is exactly what I wanted- I work long hours, Monday-Thursday from 8-8 and I pick up a friday once in a while, I am constantly busy which is perfect for me and the best part is I get to talk to and comfort people. It really fits my personality perfectly.

I think the job has given confidence that I lacked in my personal life for a long time, probably since I was a freshman in college. I've always had what I feel like is alot of awesome friends and i'm very outgoing, but I never really felt going out and doing things just because for me it was easier to stay at home. Now I go nuts if I don't go to dinner with my friends a few times a week and out at least once a weekend. That is a huge change for me.

With my new job, I decided to go ahead and get rid of the ol' college wheels and lease a new car. I leased a 2007 Impala, Navy Blue. Actually see above for a picture. I orginally wanted a G6, but I test drove this car and totally fell in love with it. I always HATED driving, but it's totally different when your driving a new car. It's super comfy.

Another big change that is coming up for me is my teeth! Yesterday at work I got my teeth cleaned and my dentist and I have been discussing getting 8 veneers on my upper front teeth since I got my braces off 3 years ago and we finally decided to go ahead and do them. I have always had an enamel defect and when I got my braces off my teeth just had no shine to them anymore so they almost have a yellow tinge to them, most on the top 4 though. That always made me really self concious because I have always taken super good care of my teeth. So I can't wait to get my teeth white and shiney again and get some spaces closed up! I will definetly posting some before and after pictures mid-summerish (i'm hoping sooner).

So other than that, I'm truely just loving my life and being 23. I'm going to TRY to start updating a few times a week.
