Well, first before the weekend started, I went to a TMJ specialist, and he was able to diagnosis me with arthritis in my jaw. He said that is what's causing all of my TMJ pain. Fortunately, there is a treatment! He gave me 12 shots on the right side of my face/neck/scalp. One of those shots put a liquid in my jaw which acted as a cushion for my jaw joint. This made the right side feel so much better! It was amazing! I went back this week, but instead of giving me the shots for my left side, he gave me my night time splint. This is basically a huge hard plastic night guard that snaps onto my upper teeth. This splint will help move my jaw into where it is supposed to fit. For now it is somewhat painful, but I know it's going to help and make it so this pain is manageable :)
On Saturday (the day before Valentine's Day), Joseph and I went to the Renaissance Festival. It was so much fun! We got there around 10:30am and left around 4:30 pm. There was tons of stuff to do and see, lots of fun shows, and amazing food! We saw this one act called Barely Balanced. They were really talented and funny. Here are some pictures:
They also had a petting zoo with some fun animals. The cow was my favorite.
On Sunday we went to church like always and taught our Sunday School class. I made Joseph chicken pillows for dinner and he gave me these really pretty red roses. Kacey and Chris were given 2 nights free at the Wild Horse Pass Hotel, but they weren't able to go, so we went in their place. It was nice to be away from home for a night and feel like we were on vacation.
On Monday our good friend's Brenda and Orson had their little girl, Brooklynn, so we went to visit them in the hospital. She was only 5 pounds 10 oz but full term! She is so small and beautiful!
Overall, we had such a great weekend together. Hope you all had great Valentine's Day weekends as well!
