Cooking with 2 of my most favorite friends!  God was truly creative when he put together the Northwoods.

Bad day? I have the answer.

Drowning my sorrows away with something that is 1 molecule away from plastic. (It didn't work though...) And yes...the top half of that is all whip cream. ;-)

Sunday Fun...!

                                                                            Tea~     

             Only people who KNOW how cute they are can pull off this look!

I'm pretty sure taking pictures in my church is prohibited...But that makes it twice as fun! Shh.

 Aaron and Jonathan are making a movie and needed a picture for the Dvd cover. Haha...

A very effective way to learn about Vanity~

Yesterday I got 4 of my permanent teeth pulled in preparation for my braces. Lying there on my back, staring up at the dentist as he kindly inserted a needle numerous times into my gum in the attempt to make me oblivious to how much this was going to hurt. Then warning me about how I was not going to feel any pain, only pressure. Breathing deeply into the laughing gas, I tried to relax. It worked. (Man that stuff is weird!) The best part about getting my teeth pulled was that I got to watch the whole thing! In the reflection of my dentist glasses was my poor, numb mouth. I was quite interested in watching until he pulled the first tooth.....But that was enough for me! The rest of my time there I spent with my eyes closed. I then decided that I could never be a dentist. (despite how much fun it would be to give certain of my Patient's shots) The extractions where over soon enough and I was on my miserable way home. I was fine until the numbing started melting away and I had feeling again. I was not at all encouraged when people told me that this just needed to be done so I could get braces and have a beautiful smile. I thought (because it was to painful to say) "My jaw is swollen shut right now, and you want me to think about a beautiful smile?" And so yesterday was a learning experience for me. I learned how indeed beauty is vain.
