Random: October/November/December

Ah the randomness of life during the busy fall.
My precious baby that is always with me. I love her to pieces! 

My first weekend back on the east coast and I had dinner with friends from my Pew days - Jennifer and Gina and my favorite restaurant - Chuy's! 
Then on Sunday we headed over to Nat's Stadium for the annual Crafty Bastards Fair with Martha and Melissa.

Amen!
The weekend before Thanksgiving we decorated and just love this beautiful picture I took of our living room. So magical. 
As I prepare to live on my own again - Tuf thinks I need to learn to cook - boo! With some of the Thanksgiving leftovers I made turkey pot pies in Tuf's adorable cast iron skillets.
My brother's birthday is November 27 and I found this photo to put on Facebook. To the brother I didn't want, but so thankful I got. Happy Birthday, Zach! Love you!

The second weekend of apartment hunting I found my place! So after I did all the initial paperwork we wandered the holiday market. I love the holiday market in downtown DC! 
Adorable Hay and Eli!
And now for my continuing tooth saga. On Thursday, December 7, I went to the oral surgeon to have tooth 31 (my last tooth on the bottom right) extracted and an implant put in. There was an infection under the tooth so there was no guarantee that the implant could go in, but I was praying that I could have it done all at once. I also chose not to go to sleep. So I was awake during the entire procedure. It wasn't that long of a procedure - under an hour and a half. While I couldn't feel it, I could hear the cracking of the tooth and the drilling and the pushing and the pulling and all the pressure. It was horrible - I cried several times, but it is done. Now I have to wait until all this heals so I can go to a dentist and get a crown and have a tooth again.
I had no idea that oral surgery would have so many prescriptions - from the antibiotic to the two kinds of pain pills to the antiseptic mouth wash.
Since the surgery was on Thursday morning I was able to rest and hide for four days. My dear friend Whitney sent me beautiful get well flowers.

Always a story with my mouth. 
And there is the randomness of the last few months of my life.
