My Utmost

I have recently started reading daily entries in an online devotional called My Utmost.  They are short entries but they almost always speak straight to what I'm going through.  They give an awesome outlook on the ways to handle life through God's eyes.  One thing I really like about it is that it is very real and lines up very well with my views, which tend to be different from the way the church has become.  Check it out!

Pictures

My cheeks really haven't swelled at all.  There is a little swelling in my lower right cheek but that's about it!  This is the biggest I have gotten this whole time which is way better than expected since all 4 were impacted.

The lunar eclipse last night was amazing!

I was excited to be able to get up and take some pictures before heading to bed.  A once in a lifetime experience!

My wisdom is gone!

Well so far things have been pretty successful with the surgery.  I hardly have any swelling right now and I've managed to keep the bruising away as well.  The only problem is that it is 9 hours later and a part of my bottom lip is still numb.  It has been trying to wake up slowly for the past few hours and is still not quite there.  It is the most annoying part.  I only have pain in one hole right now (which is pretty good since all four were impacted) and i can open my jaw slightly.  I have done significantly better than i expected.  I did not go back to sleep after I got home and have been up and moving around all night.  I even got to take some amazing pictures of the lunar eclipse tonight.

I'll post a picture of my cheeks and the eclipse tomorrow.  Thanks for thinking of me and I hope I get to see you here in the next couple days!

Pandora

I don't know if you guys use Pandora for music ever but it is one of the most amazing things to me.  I love turning it on and getting lost in the music it is one of my favorite things to do.  I have a new favorite station (besides the R&B/hip hop Christmas station :) but it is called EastMountainSouth.  They are a band and the music that the Pandora station plays warms my soul.  I listen to it all the time and it relaxes me and soothes my mind.  My mind is very dangerous and I tend to get carried away with my thoughts so this station does a good job clearing everything out and letting me focus on what I need to.  It is extremely peaceful.  You should check it out sometime!

(p.s. I am home in a week and a half and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!)
