10 Months Later

It has been 10 months since surgery.  There's nothing really new to report.  I don't have to wear my retainers during the day now, and since I only wear them while I sleep, I basically don't even notice them.  My scar is still a little raised and visible, but most people have to be looking for it before they even notice it.  I'm not worried about it at all.

Today also marks the day, seven years ago, that Dave and I went on our first date.  Coincidentally, we spent the evening viewing our engagement photos.  I still pick photos of myself apart because I know exactly where to look for the misalignment, and I will probably always do that, but I'm happy with the way they turned out.  The photos were taken a week ago on a 60+ degree day, nearly unheard of in January!  We got lucky because it is currently 34 degrees and we are awaiting a snow storm.  I'm glad we had great weather for our shoot!  Here are a couple from the album.  One is more of a face-forward shot while the other shows a profile.
