WSU - Surgery?? what kind of surgery? knee? back? breasts?? Fill us in, if you are comfortable with sharing.
I hope it goes well :)

Thank you so much for your support ladies! It means so much to me. Well, this is my second surgery of the summer, both about 10 years in the making. Long story short: I was born with a cleft lip**, and was attacked by a dog the day before my 11th birthday.
As a result, I have scars on my face, and have had many visits with dentists to adjust teeth. This summer, I got a bone graft and had the last part of my cleft closed (a small hole between my gums and nose). The surgery tomorrow is to do one of the final scar revisions. I have been waiting 10 years to get to this point, and I am so excited that everything is finally getting done.

** My cleft was small compared to many I have heard about. A cleft is basically a split that leaves you with no lip, gums, bone, or teeth in the area of the split. Sometimes, it goes as far as to cleft the pallet (roof of your mouth) Mine was just lip, tooth and gum. Clefts appear suprisingly often, about 1 in 100 births.

I already posted this in the Joe thread, but it's still 'exciting news' too!!! :) I have a date tonight! That's all I got. :)

I just got the best early birthday present from my boyfriend - Gas money so I can drive and spend my birthday with him! (I'm broke, and everyone is either working or already in Pullman for my birthday :( ) And of course, dinner! (He's a GREAT cook, so I'm really looking forward to this!) The only down side is that I have to drive back at 5am on Friday so I can go to a Bridesmaid's luncheon at a country club at 12:30 and the rehersal dinner that night. (5 1/2- 6 hour drive, and I'm the maid of honor!)

But if you could see me right now, I look like this :D

okay, here's my exciting news.

Today is the first day of school, and even though I'm a grad student I'm still excited. I love the first day of school.

I have decided to go ahead and share my exciting news. Yesterday was Bid Day and I received a candle lighting because my boyfriend of over a year lavaliered me. It was so awesome. My entire sorority family came rushing at me to congratulate me. It was a night I will never forget.
