Decision Made

 Dental solutions have been made. We took Salem for a second opinion at a very nice dental office for kids. We liked how well they explained everything, and Salem liked that she got to pick out a movie to watch and was given special princess treatment. They also recommended way less work, and not doing it all at once. I took her back the next day for a cleaning, and she did really well so they aren’t recommending sedation. Tuesday she gets the first round of work done. I just can’t wait for it all to be behind us. 

I decided on the red hair. Now I just need to decide how. I know I can do it myself, but I don’t know if it is worth the frustration and work to get it there, and I’m thinking it just might cost the same to have someone else do it after I spend all the money. So now it is just a matter of when. I really wanted to get it done this weekend, but we have a lot of money to spend, and I am not sure that I want to add to that just yet. We’ll see. The place I go is closed tomorrow so I’ll call Tuesday to see about an appointment and pricing. 

I talked to my mom this morning about moving and made it official. It was astonishing how well she took it. And even now she is acting completely normal. I am thrilled about this. It will make things much easier. Officially November will be our last month here. I still have to tell my brother Zach, but he is in Las Vegas and will be back on Tuesday. 

And we finally found a family for Chandler to move in with. They will be here tomorrow night to get him. It is bittersweet. I know we need to do this, but I know we will all miss him. I just watched Ian playing with him downstairs, and it just killed me. I know Ian will not remember, and one day there will be another dog, but it hurts me for the memories I have. They honestly seem like a great family and their three kids were very excited playing with him. They also have a female Husky and the two dogs played great together and it was so cute!

Anything else? Not for now. My emotions have been all over the place this weekend. I guess now the planning begins huh?
