Surgery Has Its Perks

• Thursday I had my wisdom teeth removed. Not fun... I was really more nervous about the anesthesia than I was the actual surgery. Plus, I had been feeling ill, and was afraid the doctor would tell me I was too sick to have my teeth removed. But luckily, my visiting teachers came by the night before and when Jaime offered a prayer on my behalf, I knew I would be okay.

• Friday, I allowed two visitors to come cheer me up. First my Aunt Mar came with soup, mashed potatoes, and tulips. It was so sweet of her to stop by during her busy day, especially when she herself is not feeling well. She also brought me the movie "To Catch a Thief" (super cute, by the way...plus, the countryside scenery had me drooling--or was that the surgery??)

Adam also came by that night. He brought me some daisies and we watched "Batman Begins".
The daisies from Adam are on the left; the tulips from Aunt Mar are on the right.

• Saturday afternoon I was so stir-crazy. My mouth was still very sore, but I just couldn't take another moment in the house. So Adam picked me up and took me to downtown Fort Worth where we wandered around and found the Water Gardens. We had a fabulous time talking and taking in the scenery even though it was pretty chilly. I got some great shots.
  

Can you guess which one is my favorite?

• Sunday after church Adam came over so I made him my famous pork chops and mashed potatoes and he braved my work-in-progress blackberry cobbler, which actually turned out very well this time. (I found a recipe that I keep messing with until I think it's become "true" cobbler...)

Adam and I have been spending quite a lot of time together lately. All I can say for now is that we've hit it off really well. I am surprised at how comfortable I am with him. After everything I've been through, I thought that I would be terrified of dating, that I could never trust another man again. And yet for some reason, I trust Adam. Who knows what will happen in the future. Neither one of us is ready to discuss that. For now we are just enjoying each other's company and having a great time together.

Maybe I should get my wisdom teeth taken out more often... I've never been so spoiled!!
