1 Year and Losing Teeth

So, today is our 1 year wedding anniversary. It feels weird to say that out loud. Not the one year part, but the wedding anniversary part. Wedding. I never thought I'd see the day.

Yesterday we spent hanging out together and then went to eat Chinese food, because that's what we ate the night we got engaged. I had my usual sweet and sour chicken and Jeff had that awful thing known as seafood: garlic shrimp. (Note: I hate seafood and it hates me...it's one of my food intolerances.) Anyway, we came home and watched the game and watched movies until around 2-2:30 a.m. While getting ready for bed I flossed, like usual...except that a large chunk of filling (and probably part of a tooth) popped out of my mouth.

Yippee! I blame this one on my dentist, because she jinxed me last week when she said that my summer was going to be free from dental problems. Although, I think she was overjoyed to learn I am going to do the Invisalign treatment, because that could help me floss better between some of the crowded areas in my mouth. This time however, flossing turned dangerous. I wonder if I can somehow counter this saying I shouldn't be flossing everynight?

Well, off to brush my teeth for the umpteenth time today so I don't promote tooth decay in my now unfilled tooth.

Almost One Year

Here's a slice of the cake we had made about one year ago for our wedding. My mom froze it and brought it down to us this weekend.

We devoured this tiny cake (we had two top tiers made for this purpose) and I am happy to say it tasted just as good as it did a year ago!

He Said I Wouldn’t See a Bear; He Was Wrong

For our honeymoon we went to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

Within the first five minutes in Yellowstone I saw my first grizzly bear. It was only a cub, but I'm sure mama bear was hiding in the trees, because the cub was feasting on grass on the top of a hill. The second day we saw another grizzly cub, sleeping in trees next to a creek. The third day we saw a grown grizzly running in a meadow. This was spectacular, because the bear was having fun rolling over the small hill in the middle of the grassy plain. The last day in Yellowstone we were driving down a steep grade when a ranger flagged the cars to slow down. Right next to the road was a rather large black bear eating to its heart content and running around.

I plan to put up pictures of our encounters with wildlife. Also, I had the distinct honor of driving when a bison walked straight towards our car. Needless to say, we have many interesting stories to tell.

However, one of the novelties I brought back from Wyoming was a nasty virus. I'll post a complete summary in the next few days, depending on how I feel or as time permits.
