MY NEW JOURNEY

#1 Post by CakeLady21 »

Sooooo I haven’t been on here in over 2 years but I finally logged in & wanted to tell you guys that it still amazes me to read all the progress & all of the new posts & members! How exciting!!!!

So I believe my last post was back in 2010, I wrote how I was excited to start the process on getting braced… Well it never happened :( …. I was laid off in October 2010, so all of my plans were put on hold. My husband was the only income we had coming in to our household & I didn’t want the extra stress & pressure on his shoulders. Even thou he insisted that I continue my Ortho process & he was going to work extra hours, I just couldn’t do that to him or to our son. So I told him it was okay & I will get it done once we had extra income coming in. I’ve always said 2 incomes are better than 1.. Don’t get me wrong I loved being a stay at home mom!! I was able to attend my sons school parties, volunteer & be in the PTO Committee, I LOVED IT!!!!!!

Our financial situation was good, but I knew it could have been better if I was employed.

On January 16, 2012 I had an interview & was hired right on the spot & started working that very same day after all the new hire paperwork!! Talk about being SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
What’s even better is that I work 8 days straight then off for 6 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well now that we had 2 incomes coming in, we started to get a lot of bills out of the way.. What a relief LOL!

Anyway… So after all that, I made an appt with a new dentist. I went in last week & I loved that place.. Everyone was so nice & welcoming. The place was immaculate!! The dentist & orthodontist took the time to explain everything.. They listened to my concerns & answered all of my questions. I felt like they really do care about their patients & want the help them the best way possible. I could say that I was really comfortable..

I had x-rays done, filling & a cleaning.. I will be back on the 11th of this month for a consultation for Invisalign.. Am excited to start my new journey to a beautiful & healthy smile!! I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :-* :mrgreen: :-*


Thanks for reading my post & hope I hear from you soon..
Well hope you have an Amazing & Blessed week!


Laugh, Love, Live

Good Luck on the new journey. I did the Invisalign too. I started the process in January 2010 and received my 1st sets of trays on March 2, 2010. I should be done in mid February. If you're interested in my journey, its posted on The Bracket Club, title is No Brackets, I went with Invisalign. Well I am wearing a couple of brackets, so thats no longer true, but they are not visible to anyone. It hasn't been a difficult process, just longer than it was supposed to be. I was told 18 months and its going to be more like 24 months.
