I had my wisdom teeth removed clear back in March. Through that process I ended up getting dry socket on my bottom right tooth, and ever since then my jaw has not been the same but has been full of sharp piercing pain at the sight, as well as radiating pain to my right ear plus I can barely open my mouth wide enough to eat a small hamburger which even then causes sharp pain.
anywho, I've been suffering with this for about 5 months now and as panic has started to set in that I'll never be the same again I asked my dentist about it at my cleaning appointment yesterday and mystery has been solved!
Turns out with dry socket it tends to heal over something which could even be a little morsel of food or other particles in the infection sight and from the X-ray I had done turns out that's just what happened. I have not healed one bit on my bottom jaw from my wisdom teeth surgery months ago! My bone isn't even fused back together. No wonder I'm in so much pain all the time.
Luckily enough, my dentist said it's easy to fix and after a visit back to the wisdom teeth removal place I should be on my way to healing and back to normal. YAY!
PS. did I mention that my dentist is extremely attractive?? because he is : ) maybe I'll look into marrying someone in dentistry...

one year older, but am I wiser too??
so...I'm 21,I'm officially legal!!! woot woot! I had a great birthday and ended up celebrating it all week long.
#1. went to West Jordan the night before and visited Jeni, she took me to dinner at famous Dave's
Went for a hike up Little Cottonwood Canyon, on the Bell Canyon trail which is a pretty steep hike(that we did in sandals and flip flops haha)up a trail that ends at a pond surrounded by the mountains, it was beautiful! Once we made it to the pond we explored on top long enough to be able to watch the sunset before the trek back down.
That night we met up with our friend Tyson and re-united ourselves with his really fun 4Runner. We got jamba's then went for a drive where we ended up hanging out at a park talking like the good ol' days.
#2.I started the big day off by getting a new drivers license with a picture that actually looks like I'm old enough to be driving and not a balding 12 year old girl.
#3.I spent the afternoon relaxing at the Peaks with T-Man. Who was nice enough to buy me a huge ice cream treat with his employee discount for my birthday present.
#4.That night some friends and I went out to celebrate my legalness by going for drinks at SP^RK, which is a non-alcoholic restaurant lounge that serves the same fun drinks just non-alcoholic
Then had a 21 candle covered chocolate cake
#5.Friday morning I took off for Logan to go visit Mindy. That night her dad BBQ'd shiskabobs for us then we got cowgirled up and took off to Stone Idaho for the rodeo.
#6.Saturday we got lunch and found ourselves at the Logan pool all afternoon. It was such a beautiful day and so nice to relax and catch up.
#7.After the pool we went back to her ranch and played in the swimmin hole with her dog Tator
#8.That night we hung out with some of her really good friends from high school, got dinner and watched a movie. But we saw the prettiest sunset from the view of Jordan's back patio
#9.Sunday afternoon the amazing weekend came to an end and I drove back to Provo
Despite these amazing festivities that were so much fun another thing I loved about my birthday was hearing from friends I haven't seen or talked to in a while. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes and for an AMAZING 21st birthday week : )

I have a stalker???
I didn't know of course until Sunday night when I returned home to my apartment from being at my parents house.
I was house sitting for my sister that night so I hurried to my apartment to pack an overnight bag. In a hurry I didn't park in the parking lot but pulled into the front driveway(right by the no parking sign) noticing the motorcycle right behind me only when I had already turned my car off. Thinking it was someone in the complexes dad I proceeded to get out my car only to hear "Has your boyfriend told you lately how beautiful you are inside and out?"
This older man then went on to talk to me for 15 minutes! mostly due to the fact that I can't be rude to people and just walk away, even from somewhat creepy situations. Turns out this man followed me home from my parents neighbors house and told me he just had to meet me. Told me what he did for a living, offered me a ride on his motorcycle, offered me free alpine slide and park city ski tickets, and much more. Needless to say the whole time I kept looking around for someone to come save me, preferably my brothers who were the ones who were supposed to be right behind me.
After he finally left and I proceeded to walk slowly up the courtyard steps, slow enough so that he didn't know which apartment I lived in, to run into my friends Parker and Dustin. We talked for a minute before Dustin says "hey Britt who was that guy you were talking too on the motorcycle?"
I proceeded to tell him my story only to finish with.."Dustin next time you see me talking to a creepy old man will you please come save me! Also remember what he looked like because when I go missing I expect you to give a full report since you sat idly by watching."
Moral of the story, I love motorcycles! but I don't love 50 year old men. Also, don't follow people home to meet them, it's rather creepy. And I'm going to work on my being mean skills of walking away from people and not caring about hurting their feelings.
have a great day and remember to watch your backs y'all : )

wish list
I've been thinking about some things I want lately, you know things I can't buy anytime soon but what I really want so I'm starting a list. for starters:
1. New camera! a Canon Digital Elph to be exact. I love these cameras and even though I love the camera I have now, I put it through a lot and it's getting slightly worn out. Plus the digital Elph has some way cool features.
2. Photo shop. wanted it for a long time and would be really cool to go with the new camera.
3. New bedding/feather down comforter. I've been using quilts my grandma made me for years now as my bedding but I've decided it's time to switch to a real comforter. a real comfy one : )
4. Camelbak. Decided I needed one of these over the family reunion when I was hiking around packing my water bottle in my hand with nothing to catch myself when I slipped a million times. not that I'm the worlds biggest hiker but one would definitely come in handy.

Olsen Reunion '09
Disclaimer: post contains a few pictures that some may find gruesome and sickening, consider yourself warned : )
This past weekend was the Olsen Family Reunion which means I got to go camping! this year my uncle Eric was in charge and he chose a campground up Fairview canyon at Gooseberry Resevoir. It was my weekend off so I luckily got to attend the whole thing.
My brothers, Mom, Ash, Jake and I went up after work on Thursday and got camp settled before heading off to the lake. I decided to get a week long fishing license this year so that I could actually fish if I wanted to instead of just sit on the sidelines and boy am I glad that I did. I caught a fish on my 2nd cast that afternoon! which was my first time catching a fish since I was a really little girl, and not only did I catch the fish I caught the biggest fish out of all my family. I was pretty proud of myself, however I would have caught nothing had it been for Taylor's amazing luck and teaching skills.
Then not only did I catch one fish, I caught two!! however, the fishing topic was a little touchy at this point with my bro in law who was having a hard time realizing i was out fishing him : )
We ended up leaving with 6 fish total, needless to say it was a good fishing trip for us. Taylor being the good luck charm for all of them, seriously anybody whose pole he touched or helped cast caught a fish, everyone but his own.
Day 2 brought some different festivities for us. I've been trying to convince my brothers to take me rabbit hunting for a while now, and when the camping trip got closer I tried to get them to bring their guns, which they ended up doing. We didn't go rabbit hunting by any means but we did go pot gut hunting which turned out to be way fun and from what they said much easier than rabbits. Taylor may have not had any luck fishing the day before but he made up for it hunting, getting both pot gut kills of the morning. The only thing I got close to hitting was two birds, way better target for me I guess.
Fishing turned out to be unsuccessful for everyone that day. However the remaining extended family came up that night including: grandma, my Aunt Janet from Texas, Aunt Georgia and her family from California(which is always so good to see them, the twins are so big now!), also Uncle Michael and all his kids came up that night, including the two spouses.
I must admit I really missed my cousing Lyle this camping trip. Lyle is currently serving a mission in Finland and he has always been my buddy at all the Olsen family get togethers and it was weird to not have him around this year. good news is he should be home in time to come next summer : )
Day 3 found some of the crew in search for a hike. My uncle Eric said he knew where we could hike to a stream off of Skyline drive so we loaded up the trucks and off we went. When we got to our destination we discovered there was no trail so we took off down the mountain on a wild goose chase blazing our own trail trough tall bushes/grass/wildflowers/oak trees with the dads tipping over dead trees on our way down. Finally, we found the stream.
We got back to camp just in time for the BBQ for my Grandma Olsen's B-day Party who turns the big 80 next week. Happy Birthday Grandma!
All in all it was a great reunion! I had so much fun and love being around my family. It was such a nice break to get away from reality as well as not being on my phone once the whole weekend haha. ahhh I love camping! now it's back to the real world of work : (
