As of today I am 1 month down, 12 1/2 to go, into my Invisalign treatment. Since I only had retainers as a child I suppose I can't say this for certain, but I'm pretty sure having traditional metal braces would have been better than Invisalign lifestyle wise. I know each treatment option has its own positives and negatives, and since our wedding is taking place prior to my treatment being complete, Invisalign was the best, most coast effective option for me.
That being said, I have to wear them for 22 hours a day only removing my aligners to eat. Yes, that means all time spent eating must only amount to 2 hours daily. I am suppose to only drink water and if I really want something else the aligners have to come out (which cuts into the two hours I'm alloted to eat daily).
Here's a fun fact about me, I'm an all day eater (ok, I use to be until 4 weeks ago). Instead of large meals I tend to have smaller breakfasts and lunches with snacks each hour between meals. This ensurers I don't get hungry and maintains my blood sugar too. If I let myself get hungry I shut down, I don't function and I'm a total grump. Poor Aaron can attest to this.
Anyway, with Invisalign I've lost my ability to be an all day eater. Right now I have breakfast, lunch, dinner and one snack between each. It seems to be working out okay but I'll be honest, I MISS MY FOOD!!!!!! In the end though, having all things properly realigned will be worth it!
Before on the Left, After on the Right
Ok enough about all of that, onto something so much better: The Wedding!!!!
We've finally decided on a theme of sorts for our wedding, which has put me in the market for vintage books. 6o or so vintage books by October to be exact. I know we can purchase sets from shops on Etsy but the more we can collect at garage sales and such the better! If anyone has suggestions as to where we might find such gems can you please share your ideas with me! Here's an idea of what we're looking for:
Can't you smell their oldness? Is that even a word, "oldness"?
