This morning I spent two hours in a dentist chair having some work done. The chair was made of tempurpedic material and I was covered in a soft fleece blanket the whole time (yes my dentist is awesome), but it was STILL a trip to the dentist. The worst part of my dental adventure was…
The other night my fiance, Isaac, was tucking me in (yes, he does that every night).
