2 Years Later

Today marks 2 years since my jaw problem started on December 31st 2013. I've come a long way since then. Feeling sick to the stomach is a common symptom with TMJ so a lot of times i go days feeling so sick to the stomach with out throwing up and other days i feel completely fine. I've only had to go on a soft food diet twice and I've been able to gain some weight again and to think its been 2 years with this jaw problem. I've been strong through this whole thing and kept positive and i know its super hard to stay positive through something like this. I've had my share of moments of wanting to break this jaw of mine and there's times i want to give up and be done with this but i wouldn't want that and have to live the rest of my life with a screwed up jaw problem and still be stuck not being able to barely eat right and deal with pain if i just gave up. If anything if i knew someone else going through this i'd advise them to get it done while they have chance to fix it. Sure it's expensive but it will only be worth it all. I've laughed and I've cried through this whole thing and sometimes its hard to believe its me going through this. Its been one heck of a fun process to surgery and here i am 2 years on December 31st 2015 waiting patiently for the surgery to happen in 2016  :)

Utah Mountains

I gotta love Utah Mountains. Especially Mount Timpanogos. 

The legend about this mountain is amazing. I know the legend about this mountain and i'm glad i had the chance to hike Timpanogos and tour the Cave this past summer. Sadly when I got to tour the cave they are claiming this whole " Romeo & Juliet" Story is made up and didn't really happen when really it did happen. There's a reason why there's an outline of a girls body noticeable on the top of the mountain. We figure she had to be a tall girl cause she takes up half of the mountain. The woman is known as the "sleeping woman or " sleeping princess" Its sad that they are now telling a whole new version of this to cover up the real truth. Its pretty neat to learn about the legend about this mountain.
There is mixed stories about which way she's laying and what way her arms are either across her chest or next to her sides. I guess it never really bought me to my attention that there's an outline of a woman's body in the mountain until i looked the other day. It's pretty interesting.

My Childhood

Sometimes i find out what i did when i was a kid. I don't even remember this at all but if that's what i did than i guess i did it. Me and my friend were talking about some of the good old times we had and we were talking about how we went to her house and called Santa Claus on the phone and we were just bursting out laughing about that and her mom says do you two remember ordering a bunch of candy off the internet and having it shipped to our house? hahahahaha I'm like what? we ordered candy?? hahahahaha her mom said yes you two did and we were just dying of laughter and her mom was like i had to call the company and let them know i have to ship it back to them because two little girls did it and Jessica's mom found out about it and said what I don't have 68 dollars to pay for candy hahahahaha I guess what had happened is that when me and her ordered it off the internet i had it shipped to her house with my name and her address on it. And i guess she came home from school one day and her mom asked my friend where the candy came from hahahaha. I'm amazed i knew how to work a credit card at that young of age. Hahahaha talk about little mischievous hahahaha I don't know how i don't remember this at all and i don't remember cutting off my Barbies hair either. I guess i wanted to give my Barbies a make over hahahaha. Makes me wonder what else i did when i was a kid that i probably don't remember doing hahahaha. There's only so much i remember from my childhood i probably don't remember alot of things. Maybe its a good thing i don't remember the candy one. I was a little rebellious as a kid. I'm sure me and my friend caused a lot of trouble.

Nine Months Left to Go

The process to surgery is sure fun. Especially when there's not much we can do but just wait and hope the spaces in my mouth close for good. Were down to 9 months already. The more it gets closer the more i get more happier and excited that i'll be getting this done. Its been a pain in the butt lately with my jaw especially with a lot of pressure and having my jaw being exusted and not being able to really open wide for very long or chew. I haven't been on a soft food diet since March earlier this year. I've been hoping i wouldn't have to go back on a soft food diet until after surgery happened. These last few months have been pretty hard on me. I''ll go days feeling so sick to the stomach that's one of the symptoms of having TMJ really bad and when it gets really bad i just end up feeling so sick to the stomach without having to throw up and other days I feel like it doesn't bug me at all. It's hard to remain so positive through this and every time it flares up really bad on me knowing there's not much to do about it besides apply ice and heat on it is just to cry it all out. For the first time since i had braces for the second time seven months into this fun mess and they are letting me have a break from getting my braces tightened and i get the easy appointment all i get to do is have x - rays done so we can see how everything is doing and see how my roots to my teeth are doing for the first time since my braces first came on 7 months ago. It will be nice to let my teeth relax with out getting pressured to be tightened again. There's times i think i should of waited to get braces and maybe did it next year but than again i just wanted to get this taken care of. I can't give up on it if i want this all fixed so i can be happy with my smile again and have my confidence back in my smile. I'm just glad i'm getting this all fixed while i still have the chance to get it fixed before its to late to fix it. Nothing keeps me going but being positive and strong through it all even though at times i cry about it and laugh about it. Sometimes its hard to believe i'm going through with this and I sometimes can't believe its me going through this. I just gotta keep my head up. Before i know it 15 months will be here and this will be all done.

Going Through a Break Up

This has been my mood lately. It's amazing how quickly my mood changed and how deep my heart could sink just cause a guy i met and became close with. Things went really well and we were both getting along with each other and we enjoyed spending time with each other. We eventually became boyfriend and girlfriend. He treated me right and was a sweet guy and a gentleman. Little did he know i was related to his boss. His face lit up like a little boy on Christmas Day when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I've never seen a guy so happy and excited to be my boyfriend. All though things are misunderstood and things didn't end up working so well. We ended on good terms we weren't fighting or arguing or anything bad. We were both bummed especially he was bummed since he was really excited to be my boyfriend but we tried making it work the best we could and well my mood quickly changed and my heart sank so deep over just one person that meant a lot to me. Were not on talking terms anymore and i'm not sure if things will ever work out between us again but maybe one day things will work out with the right person. 

Talking Teddy Bears

Awhile back ago me and my mom were at the store and we were getting in the check out line and they had these " talking teddy bears" near the check out. I was looking at one of them and it has a button to push and waiting for it to like sing or dance and i had no idea it did this until i said its not working hahahaha and the teddy bear repeats what i said back " Its not working" hahahahaha that is one Teddy Bear you have to be careful talking in front of cause once you push that record button thinking its going to dance or sing when really it records what you say and repeats it back. That wouldn't be good to swear in front of it when it records hahahahahaha that was so funny. I have never seen a bear where it repeats what you say. It had us laughing for a good while too.

A Little Reminder

Found this when i needed it the most.

Dinosaur Park

For the first time in 6 years since we moved back from Las Vegas we've been able to get back into the old things we used to do when we lived here 11 years ago.  For the first time in 10 years we made our way  to the Ogden Dinosaur Park. That place will always be my favorite and I'm glad to see it still open. I loved that place as a kid. It has sound effect and everything making everything so real life and it makes it sound like the dinosaurs are walking and stomping on the ground. Its so much fun and awesome.

The hard Part

Once in awhile i'll update on on my Jaw. I know i'm not alone in this and it really helps that I have someone going through it with me even though they don't have it as bad as i do but they still want it fixed too. My jaw has shifted to the right and its noticeable and it doesn't look good either. I had my orthodontist appointment on Monday of this week and he even noticed that my jaw shifted to the right. I almost hate looking at it when i brush my teeth just cause its noticeable. We've hit a hard part in this and my orthodontist has called this "the hardest case". Were only 5 months into this mess and to get my jaw to stop shifting so bad. My orthodontist has me wearing an elastic band on the right side of my mouth to get it to stop shifting so bad. Maybe this is why my last orthodontist gave up on me and maybe he just didn't want nothing more to do with this anymore. One of the things i like about my orthodontist he's upbeat and positive and so nice. I don't think my last orthodontist was ever like that. Sure we hit a hard part in this but the way he was talking to me like all positive about it like " were gonna get through this. Your doing so good." 11 months left to go till surgery its a bittersweet happy moment thing and i'm glad its not a 24 month wait to get surgery only 15 months and that's better than nothing at all. My thought while at the orthodontist while they put the elastic band on the side of my mouth I was about to just say hey how about we just wire my mouth shut already. Its been popping a lot lately with unbearable pain. I have 21 months left to go with braces so i look forward to both 2016 and 2017. It only gets better from here. I'm just glad my orthodontist is with me through this and is helping me get my smile back.

It's Over For Good

I had the weirdest dream about someone who used to be my friend. I've never been so angry at someone in my dreams before. This is like the first time i became very angry with that person in my dream. During this dream i had about her we were very angry with each other and knowing me i'm not fun to mess with once you mess with me in the wrong way. It was kind of weird at first how she was angry at me cause i wouldn't let her eat while she was at my house only the same thing went for me too and she wouldn't let me eat while I was at her house and well we continued to yell at each other. I  made sure she was aware that she hurt my feelings. I basically told her to get out of my life or something bad would happen. She didn't believe me that something bad would happen. I basically had a fight with her and hurt her pretty good and i asked her if she'd apologize and she just looked at me and didn't say a word. I know things haven't been easy between me and her and i know we've had our ups and downs and we have been able to make up and become friends again. But i don't think there's no making up this time. As the dream ended i woke up in tears. I've heard somewhere that you actually dream about things that bother you and if you have conflicts with people. I've also heard that even though your asleep your self conscious is still awake and that's what makes the dreams go weird. I guess the reason why i woke up in tears is cause she was my best friend and our friendship is gone. Its over for good. She has come to peace with it. I may never get an apology from her. I hope she's happy with herself. and as for myself  I let it go and i know blaming me on something stupid happened about 5 or 6 months ago. It happened for the best and its about time our friendship ended. She will just get very jealous of me which i don't care if she gets jealous. I know these last few days have been hard trying to cope with it and i'm not gonna lie it hurts like no other. I actually hope she lives a miserable boring life with her stupid cat. I can be pretty harsh for having my feelings hurt. She deserves it. Things would of gone different if she would of just told it to my face that she was mad at me. But nope she wanted to play it this way.

Barbie No Sew Tie Blankets

I have these two Barbie blankets available on my Etsy store and knowing me I'm OBSESSED with Barbie. Even though i'm in my 20's now I'm still a barbie girl and i can't help it but have to buy something Barbie. They are soft, warm and cuddly. Any girl that loves barbie would love these blankets. The top one is the older version of barbie and the bottom one is the newer updated version of barbie. Comes as show and they are also made and ready to be shipped. I'll be adding some new blankets on to my Etsy store soon. 

No Sew Tie Blankets

These are just the pattern kind of no sew tie blankets. Probably wont be as popular as my character blankets but still they were fun to make. All of them can be found on my Etsy store too for $25. Comes as shown and they are made and ready to be shipped. They are also perfect for gifts or just to have and i can't forget they are warm, soft and cuddly too. 

Disney Blankets

I have five of these Disney no sew tie blankets available on my Etsy store. Perfect for gifts or just to have. They are warm, soft, and cuddly. They can be found on my Etsy store for 25.00 and the two blankets in the middle are toddler size so they are $20. They are made and ready to be shipped. Perfect for someone that is a fan of Disney. 

German

My brother is taking German in Junior High for 7th grade. I guess he has found his second language to learn and speak it. Let the fun begin. The other day his German teacher encouraged him to come home from school and teach us some German and so he did. Here we go.... Guten Tag and Guten Morgen  fastest words learned in the first week of school. This kid is going to be speaking German by the end of 7th grade. Its going to be quite interesting hearing him talk this second language. Its not to hard of a language but i imagine its gonna get more harder as he learns more and more German. Especially trying to speak a sentence of German sounds kinda hard to do especially American English being our home language. And here i thought Spanish was the coolest language to learn.

Oh Luke! hot damn.... (; 

Disney "UP" House

Okay that's it.. one of these days i'm going to find this house. I read a family lives in it so no tours would be allowed but still it would be fun to go see in person. I'm dying here. And yes its the replica of the house from the Disney movie "UP" and its in Herriman Utah.

What's so Funny?

Hahaha I honestly don't know where my best friend Ross finds these weird funny videos but they are sure funny hahaha apparently he's into goats a little to much hahaha.

This is another one that he shared with me hahaha so funny.

Skype With My Best Friend Ross

Sometimes on Skype i have way to much fun talking to my Best Friend Ross. Even if we get busy. We make sure we make time to talk to each other by the end of the week even if its not every week.
One of the funniest things cause our relationship is like giving each other a hard time for the fun of it and we will mess with each other. A couple of Sunday's ago Ross's sister walks into his room and he was searching up the cannibal at Lagoon and before he got the video he just had to type in Love Hurts hahaha and he really knows me best to know i hate the song and so he starts playing it and Ross's sister knows i hate that song. Hahahaha so when it played i was like ohhh nooooo ahhhh turn it off as i was covering my ears. Ross's sister was like Ross stop doing that to Jessica. Your so mean. Be nice to her. And Ross knows that he just messes with me and so i playfully say
"yeah Ross be nice" hahahahaha. There's times he will joke about us going on the cannonball ride at Lagoon and he will say " Jessica lets go on the cannibal" I'm like giving him a look like heck no i'm not riding it at all. I know we really wouldn't really ride that ride. Even if he jokes around about it he honestly won't dare to go on the ride and I wouldn't either. Its probably because i'm so terrified of heights and i just don't like the elevator part. But a least i know what its like riding it from this video i watched.

Happy Birthday Mom

Yesterday was my Mom's Birthday. I know we haven't really gotten along at all. But i got to spend some time with my mom yesterday. We went out to lunch with her friend Kim and  before we left out to eat my mom was texting her about where she wanted to meet at so we tried out a new restaurant that opened near the mall and before we got to the restaurant I was texting her friend since my mom was busy driving and i meant to say Black bear diner instead of that i put bear creek. LOL and her friend replies back okay. Where is bear creek? haha so funny. While at lunch  mom was telling us about this customer that came into her work and since she works at Shopko she was helping this customer out at the service desk. And the customer tells my mom I'm sorry but i don't think i can shop at Shopko anymore. My mom says okay to her without asking a reason why. And so after she said that i said oh what is she one of those Shopko addicts meaning one of those people who love shopping at shopko everyday not trying to be mean but it was just funny how i said it. But i am glad i got to go to lunch cause i got some information on volunteering at head start that's what they call Pre school. My moms friend Kim is going to help me out with this and she's going to show me her class room on Monday. She wants to train me and be my mentor so it will be nice to have some help through this since i'm new to this whole pre school thing. I'm excited though. My moms friend Kim was telling me about one of her home visits they did and she had pulled out a puppet frog like thing and put it on her hand and it was so cute how the little girl reacted to it and this little girl is just three years old if i remember right and Kim talks in a voice that gets the kid interested in the puppet. So she says the little girls name and says hi i'm frog and the little girl says oh my gosh i want to read you my Clifford book and so she pulls out her Clifford book and reads it to the puppet and finishes it and starts telling the frog puppet about the planets and she's smart for a 3 year old she was telling this frog puppet all about the planets and it was like wow she's smart like your looking at her like is she really 3 years old. See that's why i love little kids they have the imagination that just keeps running wild. They are so much fun and i just can be happy watching a 3 year old laugh and play and learn at the same time and i'm excited to be able to play with them and help them out. Don't get me wrong kids are fun and stuff but something about the toddler stage just amazes me the most. It will be nice to volunteer at head start. But once things settle down and they get adjusted to their teachers first than i'll be able to come volunteer that way its not so overwhelming for them cause they wouldn't know who i am. Which is understandable. Hopefully once i'm done with all of this and training and what not than i can become a pre school teacher and have my own class room. Normally there is 15 kids in this class room i'm going to be volunteering in but this time they only have 9 kids so far which isnt bad at all. So i'm excited to finally be doing something i've always wanted to do. Yesterday we also went to my grandma's house for my moms birthday dinner and it was so funny my mom turned *cough cough* 25 when really its 53 so last night she's like saying she's 25 years old hahahahaha alrighty than and knowing both my parents in their 50's now wish they could be this young age again. We constantly remind them they are old hahahaha. And while my mom thinks she's 25 years old  as a joke though my grandma's like okay so your 25 and you have a 22 year old daughter hahaha. Well than my mom must of had me at a young very young age if she's got a 22 year old. hahahahaha. My parents must be missing this young body age hahaha. Hey if they are going to get older might as well have a sense of humor with it. It would be pretty boring and lame if they got old and had no sense of humor with it. The only scary part is my moms memory isn't with her half the time. The joys of seeing my parents grow older.

Summer Has Ended

Just like that Summer has ended. My brother Paul went back to school. He was so funny even though he did get a summer break and it went to fast. Paul says "no I'm not going back till i get a summer break." hahahahaha crazy to think he's already in 7th grade in Junior high. He's pretty lucky he only gets four classes a day. I wish i had that for my 7th grade instead of 7 classes a day. He had 7th grade day the day before school officially started. His friend has turned on him and acts like a popular mean girl which was sad and she pretended not to know my brother. She's going through that teenage stage she thinks she's cooler and makes it sound like my brother is not cool. I know what this stage is like only i didn't turn on my friends but i sure had a thing for those bad boys in 7th grade and knowing that she was acting like she didn't know who my brother was. He ended up scaring her or saying boo or something when he went up behind her cause it scared her pretty good and all she could do was say "eww get away from me" and he's like that's what you get for pretending to not know me. Which she deserved that because she hurt his feelings. Oh well it's her loss if she doesn't want nothing to do with my brother anymore. I told him she will eventually come back around maybe not this year but maybe later in junior high she will finally realize your the type of boy that she needs to have as a friend cause my brother is this good boy type guy and every girl should a least have a guy friend like that. I know 7th grade can be rough at first and its going to take him some time to adjust to it. He freaked out a little bit cause he thought he had the wrong type of book bag just like the normal book bag. But he saw a lot of kids with the ones you just put over one of your shoulders and he comes home saying " I have the wrong type of book bag" he thought he wanted to follow the trend. Word of advice to him don't follow the trend unless a teacher or principal says you have the wrong type of book bag. Besides he has it in his locker all day its not like its going to be seen all day only when he walks in school and leaves school. Everyone can have a different book bag no one has to have the same and school doesn't care what book bag you have. We also told him follow your own trend don't follow a trend just because they have certain book bags. No wonder he kept looking at the ones that he saw a lot of kids have when we were picking out a new one for him. He's happy with the book bag he got. Unless a principal or teacher says something different about his book bag he's okay with it but i don't think they care about book bags they just want to make sure you have one to make it easier to carry your stuff. Its going to be an interesting 7th grade for him that's for sure. It was so funny before school started we were talking about yearbooks just so he knew what it was and if he wants one. He was asking me "why don't they just give a yearbook at the end of 9th grade instead of 7th and 8th grade too." hahaha there's a reason why its called a yearbook. 

It's Always a Good Time With Friends

I've been lucky to have some awesome guy friends in my life. He just happens to be one of them. :) Sure he's my best friend but only a few guys are my best friend but even still they have been nothing but nice to me. Especially this boy has shown me what a Gentleman is and he defiantly is one for sure. Somehow my heart won this 4 years ago.... hahaha my crush on him still remains the same. :)

It's Official

I finally figured things out with UVU so i could start taking classes and get where i want to be. I'm officially working towards my CDA ( Child Development Associates) i couldn't be more excited and happier. I had my first class on Tuesday of this week and it was kind of nerve racking and a little bit shy at first. I got to meet a ton of new people in the class and we played 4 corners to get to know eachother so we didn't have to stand up in front of the class and tell about ourselves. But it was totally fun and interesting. My passion for this makes me so happy. I can't wait to volunteer at a pre school and help out and watch kids learn and grow. This makes my heart so happy knowing this is my passion. We got to color on Tuesday and work on putting some pre school lessons together. I'm glad i can finally get this over with without nothing stopping me or keeping me from accomplishing something i have always wanted to do. Plus it gives me something to do and helps ease of what's going on with my stupid jaw. I also got to learn about some stuff to do with pre school kids and one thing for sure is i've learned a 2 year old won't do a 5 year old activity. And I've learned when kids paint or draw to not tell them how to do it and tell them to do it their way and make it how they want it. They had some good fun ideas too. Finally able to do something for once that makes me so happy.

3 months

Well i have survived 3 months with braces with out wanting to break them off my teeth. All though i hate the torture i have with them. I haven't had popcorn in 3 months and going to the movies is not easy not being able to enjoy popcorn. Like yesterday we went to see the new Ant-Man movie and of course my family had popcorn and it made me so jealous a least i had an ice cream bar to hold me over but still it was hard especially the smell of the butter. I'm telling my brother as he stuffs his face with popcorn enjoy that popcorn for me for the 2 years. I could eat it if i want but i'd have to eat one piece at a time i can't just stuff my mouth full of popcorn. But i rather not mess with popcorn at all. As for the 3 months i have braces on. Already at 12 months for surgery. Who says i'm counting down when i'm just patiently waiting for it to happen. My Jaw has popped twice since my braces came back on and i think the only reason i can tolerate them more better is cause i have a more better orthodontist. Its going to be a long 2 years and they know i hate braces after expressing how i felt with them on the first time. But it will be worth it once this is all fixed. I'm just glad i'm not alone in this.

Oh Siri

Hahaha I asked Siri "do you have a boyfriend" her response was perfect. hahahahaha she knows how  a relationship works. LOL 

Summer Adventures

What a Summer it has been. For sure its been a good one. We went to Bridal Veil Falls before we sent my brother off to camp for a week last week it was so fun taking a little hike and having some fun in the sun. Also i have been by Utah Lake too. Had a nice view of the lake from where i was sitting at. Nice and peaceful and quiet. For sure Utah is one Beautiful place especially the mountains. Its been nice to escape life for a few hours and just go up to the mountains and unplug from the electronics and just enjoy the nature. Its like the mountains have become my home away from home since i can't get a vacation right now.

Just some of my summer adventures. First off Timpanogos Cave. Hiked to to the cave and toured the Cave. I also went to Bridal Veil Falls pictured below the cave. They have a pool up there where the water fall is at. I couldn't believe it there is a pool up there. One of the best things Utah has to offer.
I also went to my first Rodeo this summer too. Pretty awesome and fun! :) Besides my summer fun I've gotten to spend some time with my Best Friend Shaliece. Hung out with her for a day on her day off than she slept over this past weekend Friday & Saturday and stayed all day Sunday. We had some crazy fun did the Macarena dance hahahaha it was so funny the highlight of our day. We also got to see our best Friend Dallin and i also asked him to lunch sometime. It was nice to catch up with him and he got to see my braces for the first time. :) We didn't get to see our other two boys Tyler and Silas as they weren't home.

Some Migraine Humor

Pretty much this has been my life this summer every 2 weeks for 3 days straight so far. Made me laugh when i read this. hahaha.

Timpanogos Cave 2015

I can say I've been inside a cave. Last Friday I went with my cousins family and Aunt to Timpanogos Cave. The hike was crazy fun. My fear of heights got the best of me for sure. The higher we got the more dizzy i got. Luckily i didn't get so dizzy and pass out. Because of the cave being cold like a freezer. There was this couple coming down from the cave as we were on our way up to the cave and the couple says " You guys are doing good. Your almost to the freezer" hahahahaha. My aunt says oh no  were almost to the freezer hahaha. Going up was a work out and a pain. But it was really fun. We finally made it to the Cave by the afternoon. The cave was awesome! getting to go inside it and tour it was fun. I also got to see the heart of Timpanogos Mountain. where a love story and a suicide happened it was cool. All though cause of it being cold we had to wear jackets in the cave. It felt good being in cool air especially after sweating and being hot from hiking. One of the best things about Utah. They had a big huge group of day camp kids there too. They were so entertained and amazed by the inside of the cave. After the tour got over with we went back down. It was a tease at first cause all the sudden we thought we were going more up. But we were going up to go back down. It was easy and a breeze going down the only thing was slow steps at some parts and not to fast of running. The worst part was only 2 bathrooms one on the top by the cave and one on the bottom where you start the hike. All that water and of course i had Gatorade and water so a full bladder doesn't help. So next time i'll have to go half way through the hike with not drinking to much it killed my bladder on the way down going on a full bladder just doesn't work. All in all it was pretty fun and spending the day with my cousins from Florida. We were dead tired by the time we got out of the mountain. My legs were feeling the effect of the hike though. It was so funny on the way up my aunt has me move over to the inside of the trail so i don't fall off the mountain. she like grabs a hold of me and has me move and says I don't want you to fall off the mountain. My sister may hate me for the rest of my life if i let that happen to you. By that meaning her sister is my mom. Hahaha. I was basically the leader of the group but it was a good thing i was cause of being dizzy and if something happened to me on the hike so they could see just in case i passed out or something.

A Little Late. Better than Ever.

I made this at the beginning of July in honor of 4th of July. Sure this country is losing the respect and the flag is being hated on. A least i will always be proud to be an american and know i'm free.

So Gross. Yet so Funny.

A couple of Sunday's ago i was on Skype with my Best Friend Ross. We have some of the weirdest funniest conversations. I shared with him this funny stupid video that i found on Facebook. I died laughing even though it was so gross but so funny at the same time and he was wondering what i was watching and i showed him it and he died laughing too.

Braces

Well I've had braces for almost a month now and they weren't as painful like the first time i had braces put on when i was 13 and here the orthodontist was telling me i'd be in a lot of pain for awhile. I actually had very little pain from the pressure of my braces this time which surprised me. The funny thing was that my orthodontist sang " hero" by Enrique while checking to see how the braces looked on my teeth and it was like funny how he was singing the song i couldn't laugh so i sat there smiling and thinking how this orthodontist puts my last orthodontist to shame. He has the same exact theme as my last orthodontist does but this one has a more funner atmosphere and funner staff too. This one does the beach buck program just like my last orthodontist does so i know how it goes. Its still kind of odd this new orthodontist offers cookies lol and the most entertaining thing was someone in the staff was making popcorn and making the office smell like popcorn and the girl that put my braces on while she was putting the wires in the brackets she was like torturing me with popcorn and saying " that smells so good" and asking me " do you like popcorn?" and i responded with a yes i do like popcorn and at that point i thought oh come on your putting braces on my teeth and your making me want popcorn. LOL even though i had popcorn the night before i got braces on. The girl said i could have popcorn but i'd have to eat one at a time i just can't stuff my mouth with a hand full of popcorn at the same time and i'm not even going to bother with it i tried to eat popcorn when i had braces the first time i couldn't stand it at all and believe me its not easy when my family  cooks popcorn and the smell makes it so tempting to eat. The girl even offered me a cookie after i was done with getting braces on. So i'm in good hands for the next 2 years. I already like my orthodontist way better than my last orthodontist. I picked a good one.

My Journey to Surgery Begins

Well its official 15 months for surgery and i gotta say the journey to surgery begins. I met with my new orthodontist over the week and we talked about jaw surgery and what to expect and they also showed me how they will "wire" my mouth shut and its not what people think its actually where they use a bunch of rubber bands and they will use those to "wire" my mouth shut. They did a cool 3D x - ray on my mouth so we were able to see my mouth better and i got to see my skull which was interesting and cool. They were worried about my two top front teeth cause they couldn't see the roots very well so that's what the 3D one was for but now he's not so worried about it cause they look good i guess he was afraid that if they put braces on that it would do something to the teeth and roots if my roots weren't that good. They also took a bunch of pictures of me and my mouth and you look at my face and can't really tell if somethings wrong. I didn't know that if your missing more teeth on one side than the other side of the mouth your mouth actually shifts more which is weird i didn't know that till my mom pointed out that to the orthodontist that she noticed that my jaw has shifted which was true my jaw has shifted. The nice thing is they work with the oral surgeon i have so they were nice enough to notify and let him know that i had a consultation visit with the orthodontist and i'm also getting braces this Wednesday and the orthodontist wants a tooth extracted so i'm gonna have some fun this next week. They also gave me a copy of stuff to have and i just need to give my oral surgeon the disc with the 3D x - ray on it and they also gave me a cookie for being a new patient so i think i like them already. They were more nicer with me I honestly don't remember my last orthodontist being this nice to me as to where this orthodontist was opening up about what were going to be doing with my mouth unlike my last orthodontist i don't think he wanted to really say what was going on with my mouth but this one i have now was way more open and honest to me of how my bite is and how its going to be the next months before i get to be in surgery. Not only do i have a really bad under bite but i have a cross bite too that was new to me having a cross bite. He said his job is going to be messing up my under bite more and making it worse and i'm glad he told me that he was going to be doing that he told my mom he wanted to warn us cause he didn't want me coming back in complaining about more pain and not knowing that he was making it worse if he didn't tell me that he was going to do that so that's an honest orthodontist. He couldn't feel TMJ in my joints so there was no sign of TMJ during my appointment which was good. For now we are going to get the spaces to close in my mouth and i have a gap between two back teeth and its a pretty good sized gap so if we can't get it to close we might have to look into a dental implant. I know this is going to be a long process i'm not excited for braces again but i'm happy that this will finally be taken care of and i'll get braces off 8 months after surgery and i'll be able to get a retainer and wear it after the braces come off and even though we know my top jaw is getting moved forward my orthodontist told me to keep an open mind about double jaw surgery cause it may happen. We will just have to wait to see what my oral surgeon wants to do.

End of a Friendship

After the whole thing went down with the person who pissed me off. She attacked my Best Friend Ross just cause he didn't feel the same way she did and she wrote a rude comment about him on Facebook after reading about it on her page. I know it hurts to find out that the person doesn't have feelings for her like she does for him but she could of handled it a little better. I was thinking wow and knowing he's my best friend i felt so bad for him and i could tell that she found out how he felt about her and this was before me and him got to talk for the first time since this went down so last Sunday me and him finally got to talk on Skype it was a much needed talk that's for sure. I told him about what happened between me and Jennifer and simply said me and her weren't friends anymore. He was surprised and shocked to hear what happened and than he opened up to me about him talking to Jennifer the week before on Skype and telling her how he felt and he was telling me that he honestly didn't feel like himself around her the last time they hung out together he felt like he was around someone he didn't know anymore and he read the mean comment on facebook she wrote about him and told me he removed her as a friend he's like i don't need that in my life and he told me he asked her about me and asked if she had talked to me and this is where she gets a little snotty and bratty about it and said " no why would i?" just because i showed my support and was there at Ross's talk and she said this to Ross " No why would i? She didn't even show up to my talk." He's like well maybe she was busy and than he asked something else about me but she just ignored his question and talked about something else. I was like wow what an idiot i really did say that and he starts laughing cause she really is an idiot and i told Ross that i don't have her on Skype anymore i removed her and he was surprised to hear that and he asked me if this is the end of my friendship with her and i said the way its going yes it probably is the end of the friendship and he was telling me i should remove her off facebook. The only reason why i haven't fully removed her off is because its hard we've been friends for a good long time so its hard to just remove her off facebook. So she lost me and Ross and I told him about how she acted excited to see me for the first time since she pissed me off. We were in Spanish fork a couple weeks ago at Kmart looking at some stuff since we don't have a Kmart anymore here in Orem and i thought i wouldn't see her but turns out we ran into her and her mom while we were there. She acted like she forgot what she did to me and acted like nothing happened and she saw me and said " JESSICA" in a happy excited voice and came up and hugged me and i couldn't pull away from her hugging me. And I was telling Ross we only said two things to each other and she asked me how i was and i said good and she told me it was her day off that day i saw her and that was it we were silent the rest of the time. I told him she doesn't need to act excited to see me she knows what she did she knows she's mad at me. Were both a little frustrated with her and i that i feel like i was the mature adult out of me and her and she's 23 year old i'd think she'd know how a 23 year old is supposed to act and i'm younger than her and i feel like i know better than she does. It was nice catching up with him and i'm glad he was able to tell me stuff. So me and him are gonna be able to bond again and talk more than we used to which is nice. Maybe one day she will grow up and be an adult and quit attacking people around her.

What Hurts the Most

Its amazing how quiet i can be and hide stuff really good but what hurts me the most is having a friend that had a problem with me but wouldn't even talk to me about it to my face instead she had to go make it announced on Facebook blaming me for her being on Facebook along with "no offence" and is mad at me for it. Non offence taken here but she should know it wasn't me that got her into Facebook and having the guts to tag me in the post about me. So freaking immature were both adults here and i thought we were doing good cause me and her haven't had a fight since we were teenagers but i was wrong. Pissing me off for hurting my feelings it would of maybe been a little better if she just told it to my face than maybe my feelings wouldn't of been so hurt. I never responded to her stupid little thing she was trying to pull me into cause i let it go i'm going to be mature about it and be an adult about it. But thank you for getting my attention. Next time tell it to my face. I won't be talking to her or seeing her for a good long time and she never apologized for it either so she's okay with it. And i know my Best Friend Ross hates seeing me and her fight. For the time being she has lost being able to contact me on Facebook she's not allowed to like or see anything i post or comment on anything i have on my page and she can't see me on chat since i turned it off on her so it shows i appear offline to her even though i'd be really online. She gets this for treating me this way i didn't remove her as a friend i just put her as an acquaintance so were not really friends at the moment. I only have helped her with passwords for Facebook and it was her stupid choice to be on facebook its easy to not be on Facebook if you don't want to and it was another friend who got her on Facebook i've just helped her with passwords. If she has a problem with me than easy as 1 2 3 delete me or block me and she's not allowed to Skype me anymore since i removed her as a friend on Skype. I gotta say i'm glad she doesn't have my cell phone number. The funny thing is she tried making me laugh by saying something so stupid to me awhile ago. She somehow managed to get on my wall even though she has no access to it and I didn't even find it funny i found it rude so she really must like pissing me off.  Its like okay yes i know i get pissed off but still she can tell it to my face that she's mad at me for this instead of being a freaking immature idiot about it and announcing it all over Facebook and everyone that read that was probably thinking 

" what did Jessica ever do to you?" maybe next time she'll have the guts to tell it to my face if she has a problem with me. My mom knows what's been going on between me and her and the other day we were touring a model home and decided to drop by to get our big hero 6 movie that we left over there awhile back ago. My mom went up to their door with my brother Paul cause i refused to go and you can't blame me for the way she's treating me and later that night after getting the movie my mom was telling me Jennifer was asking "how is Jessica doing?" my mom replied with she's good. I know i was sitting out in the car but still she didn't care she would of mentioned " oh your mom and your brother came by to get your guys movie big hero 6" nope nothing not one word about it from her even though i was there sitting in the car. So she honestly doesn't care she's happy with the way she treated me. Even though I've let it go it still hurts that she has to treat me this way and to think all i did for her everything that i've been helpful with and just to be treated like this really shows that i don't think i'll be offering her my help anymore she's on her own if she gets stuck not being able to sign into facebook anymore.
