it's been awhile...

Alright, so a few things have happened recently that I would like to make note of :) 

Firstly, 
I got my wisdom teeth removed...5 years too late but they're FINALLY done. 
The whole procedure wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. My mom and my bff came with me which made it a million times better.
When the nurse finally took me in I could feel myself getting more and more nervous. Probably because she was suiting me up for, that's right, an operation. haha. But I have never been through any kind of operation before. So it was all a little scary. She put those weird stickers on my chest and ribs and then oxygen tubes up my nose which was uncomfortable and smelled funny. The nurse was fantastic though. She could tell I was nervous so she kept asking me questions which helped keep me distracted.
Then the doctor came in. Bah! His job was to put the needle in my arm. OH JK, it wouldn't go in my arm so it had to go in my hand. AWESOME. Haha, okay it wasn't THAT bad. But I hate needles and that was awful. But, the moment the needle was in, I remember him saying "Okay Nicole now we're going to give you some medicine to make you feel really happy" and then the next thing I remember hearing him say "Your doing great, Nicole" and then the nurse was asking me to sit up and walking me over to the recovery room and then my mom and Christina were there and then I was home!
So, going under was definitely the better option. I don't remember a thing and I was in a great mood when I woke up haha. There's videos to prove it! haha. (Thanks tina)
The recovery hasn't been all that great tho :( The fun part was I got to stay at my parents house for three days. So that meant hanging out with Shadow and my mom spoiling me by making mashed potatoes and jello and soup. It's been over a week now and I'm FINALLY off Advil. The pain lasted longer than I was hoping it would but at least it's a one time thing! And now every time I go to the dentist I won't have to ever hear "you need to get those out!"

Secondly, 
Ryan and I moved! What a gong show.
My mom and dad came out to help on Saturday and then we had 3 of our friends come out Sunday morning and Christina (what a life saver may I add) came out at the end of the day on Sunday evening to help with the rest. Oh, did I mention that during the last few loads the power went out?! Ya, that really made moving so much better haha.
But we're slowly finding everything it's place and it's coming together nicely. We just need to find a couch!
We're going to miss our old place though! So sad leaving it. There were many firsts in that apartment :) Lot's of memories, but, we must move forward right?

Thirdly, 
CHRISTINA AND I BOOKED VEGAS. 
98 days.
NINETY EIGHT DAYS. 
I'm so excited. This is will be my first big trip ever and my first plane ride. Which I'm super nervous for but what is life if we're not experiencing and conquering the things that make us afraid right?
We're planning a day trip to the Grand Canyon which I'm super pumped for. 
AH!! Life, your exciting lately <3
