wisdom and gratitude

I had my wisdom teeth taken out this morning, and over the day I've been thinking over all the things I'm thankful for through this whole experience.

I'm grateful for:
1. a mom who took a day off work to drive, babysit, save me from myself, and buy me special chocolate milk
2. a dad who let me take over the couch all day
3. siblings who managed to keep the house quieter than usual
4. a kitty who kept me company and kept me warm while I had ice packs on my face all day
5. ice packs
6. a fiance who keeps me looking at the bright side
7. friends who check in to see how I'm doing
8. anesthesia, which made the process more humane. and apparently humorous.
9. applesauce!
10. a comfy couch, painkillers, very vanilla yogurt, and a Blazer victory
11. chapstick chapstick chapstick chapstick...


After some serious memory lapses coming off the anesthesia (thanks Mom, for filling me in), I found myself sore but pretty clear-headed. Despite spending a vast majority of the day on the couch, I managed to get a lot done as far as wedding planning goes. So many wonderful people have come forward offering help and support, and being as this last week was really the first time I had begun to worry about things coming together, help and support are greatly appreciated and has taken a huge load off. It's time for picking cakes, and flowers, and mailing announcements... how exciting!

I hope to be feeling less chipmunky soon - only a month til the wedding :)
