  6. Okay, I know this is out of context…..but we kept laughing about your “special recognition” in church last night, Sam. Believe me, I know ALL about it!!! =) Being a pastors grandaughter and a pastors daughter! And I’m sure Essy knows all about it too!!! (I.e.) next one to graduate in the family, being the oldest grandchild, how I help out when I’m over there….and those comments are all made FROM THE PULPIT!!! By my Grandaddy…..it can be kinda embarrassing sometimes! Lol

  7. Yeah it was kinda funny. I don't know what to say to that, except that the only way it could have been more awkward, is if they had me stand up, and they sang me the anniversary song jk and then have me tell everone how much my braces mean to me... You know I think I just thought of a new tradition for church lol......;)

  8. You're too funny Samuel!
    love Mom

  9. You're hilarious!!!...:) That would be an interesting tradition.....lol But I would be THRILLED about getting braces too, hopefully I'll be able to get them before I'm your age, but we'll see!

    lol,
    Cherry.

  10. Hmm...you may want braces Miss Charity, BUT THEY ARE A PAIN IN THE NECK!(actually it's the mouth!)
    They about kill you when they put new wires and stuff on:(
    I am soo excited though because I only have about 2 more months before I get mine taken off:)

    ReplyDelete
  11. I can't wait to get mine! They look SO pretty!! I've always thought so at least... The pain will be worth it!! LoL This is coming from someone who has no idea how they really feel...

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh, I totally agree that the outcome is great, but when they hurt really bad, you kinda forget that it will be worth it in the long run!
    By the way, Charity, I have had a few comments about being a pastors kid, but most the comments come from having a certain Heather Rogers as your Grandma!!! (She's great though!!)

  13. All I have to say about braces right now, is it's a great way to lose weight, I haven't been able to eat much of anything in three days!!! no lie.....I think the doctors have some kind of an alliance with weight watchers... Lol lol lol L

  14. Hans, I've always thought they look pretty too!(Yeah, that sounds really vain!)lol Essy, I should have known that you Granny would be the one making the most comments!!:) Sam, Poor guy!

  16. Okay, I screwed that comment up and was a little too late to try to fix it:)
    One of the last times I got my wires changed, they didn't start hurting until we had gotten Little Ceasers pizza. Try eating that when your teeth hurt:)
