Cavities and a Haircut

Well, it was a little bit of a different day in the Kjar household since Kaleb didn't go to work in the morning and instead went to the dentist for a fun cavity visit. After serving 2 years in Mexico and practicing "not-so-good" hygiene, Kaleb's teeth took a hit and, although they weren't cavities yet, certainly would become so in the months to follow. Well, it is now the months to follow and Kaleb went in to get his 3 cavities filled.
We have been really lucky to have such a great dentist that really works with our needs. However, when the numbing shot didn't work on one side, the dentist needed to try it again and it worked great in numbing Kaleb's mouth, but it also did a great job at also numbing his left nostril and eye. Needless to say, it was a "fun" experience to watch (at least for me). Due to a slower recovery, Kaleb had the pleasure of skipping out of his afternoon class, of which he wasn't too sad about ;)

Later in the evening, Kaleb and I had the opportunity to be visit taught and go home teaching. Although sometimes it seems like a real hassle to plan into each month, I do secretly enjoy it. We later enjoyed reading a chapter from President Monson's Biography, To the Rescue: The Biography of Thomas S. Monson, where it talked about President Monson's involvement in different general church committees and also his contribution to changing the home teaching program. Although I don't remember them right off the top of my head, President Monson had some very strong opinions about Home Teaching and its importance in showing God that you are willing to help and serve His people. Such a great reminder both for Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching!

The end of the day was welcomed with a new haircut for Kaleb. I learned a while ago how to cut hair from a video on YouTube and found it pretty helpful. I improve each time, but feel confident in my ability to do a basic guy's haircut. I like developing new skills :)

Before bed we packed up and are ready for our weekend trip to Idaho in honor of Kaleb's brother's high school graduation. I love celebrations! Especially when we get to share them with family :)
