Lasik and Random Thoughts

Last Thursday I got lasik...something I have dreamed about and saved for for a long time! I just have to say it is the best. I still have to put a million drops in my eyes a day and sleep with very lovely goggles on for a couple more days, but I am LOVING it. It really is miraculous to me that I can just get up and see. I went running today and didn't have my glasses sliding off my face or didn't have to worry about getting dirt in my contacts. I can't believe it! Technology is the best! It was so easy, too. I thought it would hurt more or bug me more after and it really wasn't a big deal. Amazing. I love my new eyes!

My happy Davis is back! He has been horrible about the last month or so-whining ALL of the time and just unhappy and not very fun to be around. I was so frustrated. Well, his last tooth his has been working on came through last week (he is now the proud owner of 10 teeth) and I think that he is finally feeling better (he cut 4 teeth including 2 bottom molars in the past month or so). HALLELUJAH! I was beginning to think that maybe this was his new personality and was going through terrible twos a few months early, but the last 5 days or so he has been so much better-happy and fun and so cute! I am so grateful. He learns new things every day and is saying new words all the time. For a long time he would say 'yeah' whenever we asked him a question-so agreeable! But, he finally learned to say 'no' and says it all day long!

My brother Micah graduates on Friday with his masters in Social Work from BYU...I am so proud of him and excited for him! Unfortunately for us he and his wife are moving to Texas in a a couple of weeks...I am excited for their new adventure but we are going to miss them like crazy!

My parents 31st wedding anniversary is this week..congratulations to them! They are the best together and I am grateful for their example!

We had a wonderful dinner at Samantha's (Steve's sister) on Sunday to celebrate Jill's (Steve's mom) 54th birthday. Thanks for the great dinner and company, Samantha and Jon. We are so glad that we could be here to celebrate Jill...she is the best and we are so grateful for her. Happy Birthday last week, Jill!

Okay, I think that is all of my random thoughts and happenings for today!

I am really envious that you got lasik. Jason told me I could get it, but I have decided to wait until after my 3rd and last child to do it so that I wont have any changes. I am happy for you that you can see effortlessly now.

Summer- it was fabulous to see you on Sunday. You are such a sweetie and I hope you know how much you mean to me. Steve- hope the cold hasn't gotten you down and hope you have a good trip to Wisconsin!

Hey, Summer! James got Lasik earlier this year and he loves it. Your vision continues to improve over time too! Sounds like you are doing well! Keep in touch!

Thank you Summer! I enjoyed having you all at my birthday party! And thanks for both the scrapbook stuff and the yard work--you are awesome!

Sums,

Congrats on the eyes. I am terribly jealous.

It was great having y'all over for dinner. We'll have to do it again when we move to our house.

Love ya!

Hey Summer! I found you on Sonja's blog. I love your blog and I didn't know you got lasik! No fair! Some day I will too, I hope!
