Mo and Me (M&M)

Me again! Sorry it's been a few days. I was waiting to show Mo my beautiful, braceless teeth. You see, I hadn't told her when I was getting them on, and I didn't want to tell her when I was getting them off. That's why I haven't posted in awhile. :)

When I got them on, I didn't even say anything like "I'll be getting my braces on soon." So one day, when I had just got them on (this was in January), we went sledding on the hill in my backyard. She had gotten there first, and I decided to go down standing up.

Obviously, I wiped out a little over halfway down, and laughed out loud, exposing my shiny teeth. When I looked up, she was staring at me, and I sent her a big grin.

This time, I gave her a few weeks' notice. "My dentist said I'll be getting them off in two to six weeks."

So yesterday, we were talking about Spencer, and I was trying to keep my mouth shut (or as much as possible--hey, I like talking!). So she said something like "Look on the bright side of things!" and then abruptly stopped laughing and started staring.

Because I had laughed.

And exposed my new beauty. :)

And, if you're wondering why I didn't want to tell her, it's because we have a long history of her pulling whatever the big news is right out of me. When I turned nine, she finally got me to tell her I was getting my ears pierced (well, more like she guessed it after some pretty huge hints). Later in fourth grade, she got me to tell her that I was getting glasses.

We talked a lot about braces. Once we had a big long discussion about wanting braces so badly. We both knew we would be getting them eventually. We talked about how much we wanted them, what they would feel like, what colors we would get, how we knew it would hurt but we just wanted it over with, how we would miss gum...my dentist told me that I would get my braces on the summer I was 13 (turns out that's when I got them off). So in November of 2008, when he said I would be getting them on in a matter of months, I decided to keep this from her and surprise her.

So that's what I did.

Well, looks like this is my last blog :'( Short and sweet. It's been fun. My dad thinks I'm too exposed or something. Only like 3 people were reading it anyway. Luv ya! Bye.
