This is big news. And a big deal.
I went to the dreaded dentist today and I survived!!! I hate, hate, HATE the dentist. With a HUGE passion. I cross my legs and hands and just cringe the whole time. I can NOT stand it. It has been two years since I've been to the dentist--the last time was right before Taylor and I got married and my mom made me because I would no longer be on their insurance. So as soon as I got married I made the "internal" rule (if that even makes sense) to never go to the dentist again! Just kidding, but it was definitely not on the top of my list. I had an appointment with a dentist back in August and just decided not to go--bad, I know. So, literally, I was dragging my feet today. I honestly told Taylor on my way to the appointment that I would rather go through child birth again over going to the dentist! I hate the dentist!!! (Have I made that point clear now?)
But I had a pleasant experience--the first gal who cleaned my teeth was very nice and very gentle and the dentist is a guy in our ward who Taylor home teaches--Taylor personally warned him of how I feel about the dentist, so he was super good.
To make the day better, Taylor sent me flowers at work! It was sooo sweet! (I'm sure it was for other reasons than the dentist appointment, if it was for that at all!) The girls at work brought them to my desk and stood there, "What does the card say?!" Ahh...girls will be girls! :-)

I have to agree with you 100% I hate hate hate the dentist ( I attribute it to bad memories of a scary rough woman with halitosis when I was a little girl) I, like you, have not been for two years right before Eric and I got married...and I have just made an appointment...sad sad
How sweet of Taylor! Nice work on his part.
Glad you had a good experience...did you have a traumatic one as a child, or you just have always hated the dentist? That is how I feel about having my blood taken...
I didn't know you hated the dentist... congrats for getting through it!
Well I'm glad you survived! I don't like the dentist too much either (I can't say I hate the dentist 'cause it's my father in law!)...Oh and you're lucky to get flowers. I love getting flowers!
