LASIK

So, of those of you who have had LASIK did you have really dry eyes? My eyes are killing me today and are completely bloodshot. They do this from time to time but it only happens at work because I think it's much more of a dry area. I even brought in my own humidifier, but it hasn't really helped.... I'm taking eye drops every 1-2 hours while I'm at work. Anyway, just wondering if any of you have had this or if it's just me.....

I can't wait to go home today! Only 7 more hours! haha

Weekend recap

This weekend was spent:

Friday:
Driving to meet up with friends in my hometown (1.5 h) then driving to Wisconsin Dells (2.5h)
Getting to our hotel, having one drink and crashing.

Saturday:
Waking up early to head to breakfast and then to Noah's Ark
Meeting up with another good friend of ours from Michigan
Spending 7 hours at the waterpark
Going out to eat
Going back to our hotel and crashing once again

Sunday:
Waking up early to head back home to do nothing but cuddle up on the couch and watch 3 movies :-)

And here we are, on Monday... My leave favorite day of the week!

I took a waterproof camera to the dells with us, but I need to get it devleoped before I can share pictures with all of you. It was a ton of fun and a much needed mini-vacation for us. Hubby is white as can be and got fried, even though we applied sunscreen twice (yes, only twice... We were too busy having fun!) He's not feeling so "hot" (maybe that's the wrong word) today...

Next weekend we are traveling yet again! But for a family reunion this time. Hopefully we'll get to spend a weekend at home sometime in the next few weeks!!

Hope you all had a great weekend and I PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE I will post pictures just as soon as I get them developed!

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is one of my best friend's birthdays!!

She is an amazing, fun, open-hearted, loyal, trustworthy, fun loving, brutally honest, non-neatfreak, caring, liberal, generous, hardworking, successful, someone you can always count on, sometimes too kind for her own good, wonderful old roommate, who is one of the greatest friends I could have ever asked for.

Thank you for everything Pammy! You are truly one of a kind and I love you!

Happy 25th Birthday!!!!!

Thankful Thursdays

I'm thankful for:

• ETSY- I have found so many cute things off of their lately, thanks guys!
• Vacations- We haven't had a weekend home in over 2 months, but I love spending time with my husband doing fun things during the summer. We never know when it might not just be the two of us anymore
• Running- I'm not super good at it, but I love to do it when I can
• Jazzercise- this is a fun way to get in shape if you stick with it, check it out!
• LASIK- I haven't known what it was like to wake up and see perfectly since I was in 6th grade, so getting LASIK was amazing and I'm so glad I got the oppourtunity
• Our furry children- Bear spent a couple weeks at my parents and my brother's house because we were gone so much, when we were home without him, the house was so quiet. I hate being away from him and our two girls (cats, Josie & Allie), it's great being able to come home to them.
• Mail- I LOVE getting mail, REAL mail in the mailbox, delivered by the mailman (or lady), because it reminds me of the people that care about me (who take a little extra effort to send something snail-mail these days. Thanks!!

Show us your life........... Wedding party & Flowers

So, awhile back I did a post on My Wedding Dress So, I figured why stop there!?!? I know that everyone else has already finished most of their Wedding posts and I'm a little behind, but o well!

I had three bridesmaids. All of which were wonderful!
I loved my flowers! I had pink Gerber Daisies and they were perfect!

Here we are again

The guys thought they looked cool in their shades
We had 3 groomsmen and 2 ushers

Aren't they handsome?

Here we are after the ceremony ready to get on the trolly!
Shades and all :-)

Our wedding party was such a blast! We had a lot of fun. I wish I had more pictures to share of all of us, but my photographer was probably my least favorite part of our whole wedding.... Yeah sucks doesn't it! :-) O well, we are over it.

I'll show off our families, cake, ceremony pictures, and reception pictures next!
