Sorry...

I'm soooo sorry. I know I have been a terrible blogger. No posts for 2 and 1/2 weeks. Whew, but I have been so busy. :)

On Tuesday I had an ortho appointment. They went up a wire size and put on a top and bottom set of powerchains. They also scheduled me for some pre-op molds. This adjustment wasn't too bad. I was a little sore and I got the usual headache but it was gone in two days, so it was good. Not that I mind the pain. To be honest I LOVE it! It reminds me that it is working... haha.

I also realize I don't post normal and recent photos... so I now have a webcam and this hopefully will help me remember to take them more often. Just so you can see the progress.
I was playing around with it today... and I got some pics with two of my favoritist people in the world. My little bro and sis...

You got to love my face in this one. haha... I swear my sister was squshing me, and my little bro just likes to look at himself on the computer. hahahaha...



This is one of just me and my bubby. :) ahhh... so cute, but he refuses to look in the camera. oh well. haha. Oh, and once again... you got to love my face. I seem to have the same facial expression in every pic. I was having fun. They make me laugh. :D


And here are a couple of just me...

Here I am at my worst... crazy hair... my animal print pj's, and a ridiculous expression... :) I just love you all that much, that I am willing to share.


And here is when I'm a little more put together. haha. ;)



Feel free to leave me comments or questions. I will be sure to get back to you. Hope you are all doing fantastic wherever you are on your journey. Oh... ONE MORE THING! Make sure to check out the poll out the top right of my blog and vote saying where you are in your journey! THANKS. :)

Snow...

Hey everyone... I have had 3 snowdays due to all the snow and ice recently and I thought I would share a few 'recent' pics... Like I said in my last post I have been slacking a little with the pictures, but my Mom took these of me in the snow. :)

I look so overweight in this pic because I was so cold and put on sooooo many layers of clothing, which made my legs look giganic! haha Here is the line up of clothes: 3 shirts, a sweatshirt, and a coat, a 3 pairs of pants, a pair of my jeans, 4 pairs of socks, furry boots, a scarf, gloves,and earwarmers. Haha. I was prepared for the fun that occured. :)



Then here is a pic of me and my little sis we were making a fort. haha. :)



We had fun. It was a lot of snow... in these pics much of it had already melted. I will get some pics up later of my teeth, and of my not "chubby snow bunny" self. haha.

Some Pics...

I thought since I haven't posted much recentley I would put up some semi-recent pics. Haha...

I promise I will post some new pics (recent) soon. I have just been so busy with finals that I haven't had time to post very much, or take pictures. :)

Just a pic of me and some of my friends from my old house...



Here is another from this year's youth group Christmas Party. We were playing a game where you roll dice and if you get doubles you have to put on all the winter gear and try and open the present... the catch is that while you are doing that other people are rolling and the gift is wrapped and in at least 10 wrapped boxes... a fun game. haha. You can tell I was having fun...



Here is a pic from around the first few weeks of my braces. Me and one of my besties Britt... It is before I cut my hair... I look better now. haha. :) Also if you compare it to the pic above you can see how my top pallate has widened... crazy what 3 months can do! I'm loving the results so far. Braces take many sacrafices, but I think it will be worth it in the end.



More pics to come soon. Sorry I have been slacking a little. haha.

My Surgery....

This is an awesome video that I found on the EXACT surgery I am having. Super cool. Just look at the difference!!! :)



Hope this helps you all visualize my surgery, and what I am talking about by both jaw surgery and everything.

Younger Days...

Hey everyone! I just went through some pics on my computer when I came across some ancient art... haha. It was a folder stocked full of "awkward" middle school pictures and other embarrasing memories. I thought I would share some oldddddd pics of me that show you how my jaw has been my whole life, and show you how my jaw has grown... so here goes (no laughing, haha!).

Look it is me chillin' with my "bug" eyes... Those glasses are ugly! They are like a ski mask! haha. My bite doesn't look to bad as long as no one else is in the picture. That is what makes me look disproportional.... I know that sounds weird, but it is true. Look at the pics below!



I know this girl, so she doesn't need glasses! haha. I love her she is my BFF!!!!! We have been best friends since 7th grade! WHOA! I love her, but her bite always made mine look soooooo bad! haha. And the "boy" hair isn't doing anything for me! My hair was so butchered! I sure do miss those "insecure" and "awkward" days... NOT! haha. Just miss my BFF (We live in different states now).



I do not know this girl anymore, so I am going to protect her identity with these handcrafted Chanel Glasses. haha. But check out my bite! Terrible. Curse her petite face! She always made me look awful! haha...

Ahhhh... Middle School. Worst time of my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but boy is middle school AWKWARD! And all the kids cruel and immature, a very badddd combination. haha. Good times... Good times. I hope this shows you a little more of my jaw and how it grew to look how it is now. Just check out my profile pic for a comparison. It has changed my face shape since middle school.... Have a blessed day!

A Giagantic Adjustment...

Hi guys! I just went to the orthodontist and I was told that my teeth are moving really well, and that I will start to see her every month now in order to prepare for the planned surgery date (July 8th). At the appointment she upgraded my wire and skipped a size (quite a painful skip by the way) and then she put on a set of powerchains so I do not experience gapping in my front two teeth because the wire she put on helps widen my top pallate. yay!
As my surgery date slowly approaches I become more anxious for my new smile. When I sit by my friends during school I think to myself I can't wait till I can smile like that, or I can't wait to be able to eat pizza and subs with ease... haha. I strongly desire for these two things, I also want to have prominant cheekbones and a perkier nose... which all should be accomplished with the shifting of my top jaw and bone graphs. :) I hope everyone is doing well and coming along wherever you may be in your journey..

Love and Support Always,
Makay
