The Dentist and A Random Act of Kindness

When was the last time you went to the dentist? Well, for Isaac and I it had been about...oh 6-7 years, that is until today. Today we decided to take the plunge and go to the dentist. I have never been afraid of going to the dentist. Ever. In fact I have always loved going to the dentist. I loved getting my teeth cleaned and polished....I really could go on forever. Which is the reason why I was going into dental hygiene before I met my wonderful husband and put that goal on hold for our little family. Well, today I was scared to go. 7 years is a very long time to go without a cleaning. It stunk. I have never felt like I needed Tylenol or some sort of pain reliever after getting my teeth cleaned, but today I did. Crazy enough, we each had very few cavities, but that did not lessen the pain of our throbbing mouths. Resolution- we are going to be a lot better about going to the dentist. Like every 6months better. Totally worth it in the long run, but sure doesn't feel like it.
After we had been home for awhile, and had started to get over the pain-in-the-mouth from the dentist visit, we noticed something that came as quite a surprise. We're not quite sure when it happened, most likely while we were gone at the dentist, but someone came and mowed and weed whacked our backyard. Beautifully. The absolute wonderful thing about it was that Isaac had wanted to mow today, but by the time we got home and de-stressed it had started to rain. It wasn't until after it had stopped raining when Isaac went to take the garbage out, did we realized our beautiful lawn.
So thank you to whoever so graciously beautified our yard. Thank you so much! We appreciate it so greatly!
