A little help and support for all those who are about to, or are going through jaw surgery and/or braces. We all need a helping hand through these tough and aggravating times. :)
Hey everyone I wanted to give you a couple update pics- I will be doing a huge post about my jaw- and all sorts of stuff soon- I just have to find time- DON'T WE ALL??? haha. :)
And I had my FIRST Thanksgiving without an underbite! YAYAYAYA... (more on that later I promise) haha...
I usually would have been angry for a side pic like this, but this year I LOVE IT! :)
I could eat everything with ease! Even ate some celery and it didn't get all stringy! :)
So this post is not really about my jaw, or my teeth (I promise I will answer your questions in my next post), however do not disregard this...
I currently am working to raise $6,000 dollars in order to fund 1,000 bibles to the persecuted Christians of India. Did you realize that every 3 minutes a Christian is martyred? If not, now you know, and you are aware, which makes you responsible to do something about it.
I am going to be raising money for this cause:
1.) Through donations, from generous people like YOU!
2.) Sponsorships
3.) My Benefit Concert, UNBOUND.
So you may want to know a little bit about my benefit concert, I am going to be hosting it November 13th, and I have recording artists, Day of Grace, The Alter, Written in Red, and The RETURN coming out! I am thrilled! It is going to be a rocking night and I will be raising the money as well!
As you can see in this picture, the red represent the Bibles that have been sponsored already by generous organizations, however the blue represents how many are still waiting for God's Word to reach them! You can help change that by Donating to Project UNBOUND!
Please consider giving a generous donation to this project! It is going to be impacting thousands of persecuted Christians, and inspiring others to make a change! Even a simple donation of $5 helps get closer to my goal! I know with the help of bloggers like you guys I can do it! Also if you have a business, and would like to sponsor the benefit concert and project with $100 + you will be considered an "official sponsor" and you will get your company name on the back of the shirt, and the shirts are the tickets into the concert! So it is great advertisement!
If you would like to sponsor, email me at kpiso@nc.rr.com... If you would like to contribute by purchasing a t-shirt please email me as well, they are $20 plus shipping an handling... and are SUPER cool (I can email you the design if you are interested)...
AND If you would like to donate, Do NOT hesitate! Do it now...
Thanks soooo much! I knew I could count on my awesome bloggers!
Hey everyone! I guess I haven't really told you much about my actual progress lately... so here it goes... ha...
First though! I have some update pictures! :)
I am so happy with my new smile, and I can hardly wait to get my braces off! I cannot believe it is all over! I mean I feel like I was just saying "9 more months!" It's crazy... when you are going through it- it feels like foreveeeer, but once you make it past the first few weeks, it seems like a distant memory.
I have been doing pretty well... I have 85% of my feeling back... All I need is for the nerves in my chin to come, but I can tell they are getting better, they tingle when I touch my chin... ha.
I have been wearing rubber-bands, fine tuning my bite... They are pretty thick, and they are moving my molars in the back, they make my teeth pretty sore, but not too bad... they are just annoying more than anything...
One thing I find extremely amusing is that the sizes of rubber bands are based on animals, so every time I go to the ortho I am like, "Soooo... I am I still wearing Impalas or am I going down to Pandas?" I sure do get a kick out of it...
I hope you are all doing awesome! Let me know how you are! Where are you in your journey? Anything you wanna know? Ask?
So I was at Wyldlife, a Christian club for middle schoolers, we do ALL sorts of "Wyld" things, and well I am a high school leader! :) We are always victimized, and embarrassed. All is good though because that is why we go. Tonight was nerd night... a Mom came and picked up her son afterwards and I said "Hi I am Makay! Thanks for driving him over here we had a blast!" She said, "Oh, do you go to school with "Bob"?" hahaha... "Um, no I have graduated the 8th grade- I am a Junior in highschool..." haha... She said, "Oh really? You hardly look like you are in 7th grade!" WHATTTTTT!??!?!?!?!?!? Dang...
Maybe it was the outfit.... or the braces? HAHA.
Ever since surgery people have thought I look younger, which I guess isn't a bad thing... haha, but I don't know... I want to look like a junior, not a 7th grader... ha...
