With all the testing, treatments, etc nothing was worse than having my braces removed. The dr. wanted them removed to minimize the chances of infection, given that they are more difficult to brush and floss. Before they began the first "mini" round, 2 dentists from the dental school came to remove them. Of course there is no dental equipment here, nor did they bring any except for the dental "pliers" and picks. Needless to say, it hurt a lot, but was only about 15-20 mins. Of course with no equipment, there is still a little cement on my teeth that will need to be removed once I go home.
New Do -
My great hairdresser, Lisa, was gracious enough to come see me and bring her scissors. She cut my hair into the cutest little A-line style, which I had been talking about doing anyway, this just made the decision much easier. We were also able to save my ponytail, whick I will be donating to Locks of Love .

As I leave tomorrow for a great trip with Uncle Bobby, I am having a hard time leaving.
I know you and I play around a lot and most of the time are smart asses to each other. I think we carrier the same gene of dealing with stuff.
So before I leave I needed to say a couple of words. I remember when you where (one)1 and I lived with you for a year and a half. Mom and Dad just had Maddie and you seemed to be ok with the new addition. You soon to began with Night Terrors, Auntie came and got you every night and you ending up sleeping with me every night. For me is was a treat and at that point we started this special bond. I love you more then words can say.
You have turned into this increditable girl. Your widom of life and how people work is amazing. You have made some wonderful friendship that will last a lifetime.I was fortunate by having wonderful friends early in my life, but you are seeing their true colors early and it is priceless, please see that this is a special thing. YOU ARE LOVED BY SO MANY!!!!
I am so proud of you and so excitied everything is going so well.
I will be looking for a cool hat in Europe for you :)
XOXOXO
Love You so VERY much

Kaitlin...I'm here at Amador!!! You are a true DON!!! I found this and thought of you...
"We are familiar with the stories of the risen Lord appearing to his followers, making them living witnesses to the Resurrection. But Paul's testimony might touch our own experience. Maybe we didn't experience visions as the first apostles did, but still we are witnesses to the Resurrection. Take a moment to remember times when you, too, have been utterly convinced of the power of the risen Jesus because it has broken forth in some personal way in your own life, bringing you to new growth and empowerment!"

You go girl!!!
Kaitlin,

You’re are a gorgeous, courageous young woman – that’s a matter of fact that no one can deny!! I absolutely LOVE the new hair – but you’d be beautiful no matter the cut!!!
