This was the sign that was carried after the wedding. They had a sign just before the bride was came down the asile saying "Here comes the bride." It was really cute.

It was a very nice wedding and it was a blast. It was good to see the Harris family and their spouses and kids also. I had a blast. More pictures to come.

Before the Wedding

This is the view from the 4th floor of the skyview center. Where the wedding was being held. It was amazing. We even had a view of the city skyline and when the sun set it was beautiful. The weather turned out nice and there was a little breeze and it was perfect.

Days off

I can not believe that this week I will have four days off. It is going to feel nice to have more days off instead of having one day off in between both of my jobs. I just won't know what to do with all that time off. On saturday we will be heading up to Boise for my friends wedding at the Skyview Center at BSU. Whats going to be nice is that Jason will be going with us this time. We will just be minus one brother and his girlfriend. I have not seen our family friends for a while now and it going to be good to see them. I really need to yard work and need to clean around the house also. I will have to see if I get to do any of that depending on the weather.

Concert

Jason, Kelly and I went to Boise for a concert with Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean at the Taco Bell Arena at BSU. We headed up around 10 am and spent the day up there. We went to the mall and then had dinner at the Olive Garden and then went vehicle shopping for my mother in law. We got up front parking at the concert with the VIP pasrking pass that I bought. The concert was fun. Luke Bryan put on a good show along with Jason Aldean. That is one concert down and two more to go.

A year

I can not believe that just a year ago I was up in Boise having the Visian Lens implants put into my eyes. That was the first surgery that I have had in 28 years. Thinking back to that day Jason and I headed up the day before the surgery after I got off work at 11 pm. We got to the hotel that we were staying at and I was not able to sleep. I did everything like taking a warm bath and lying on the couch listening to my Ipod but nothing work. When it came to me having to be over to the surgery center at 6 am in the morning I was tired. I was sitting in the room having my blood presure taken, dilating my pupils and then they came in to put a IV in my hand to be able to administer the meds. I was so nerves that even Jason even noticed and I had so many things running through my head. I went in for my first lens inplant and when I came to I was able to see the doctor finishing with the suture. They took me across the hall to check my vision and I was seeing 20/40. I went into another room to wait for my other lens inplant. When I came out of that surgery I got light headed and sick to my stomach so they had me lie down.

Jason came into the room and was telling me that he got to watch them do the surgery on my left eye and that he was not able to watch my first one cause the camera was not working. I was then taken across the hall to check my vision and I was seeing 20/40. We went back to the hotel to sleep and rest. I slept most of the day. We did try to go and eat out but that was not that sucessfull. We went back to the eye center the next day to see how everything is doing and what my vision is. Everything was looking good and I was seeing 20/35 in both eyes. I had to sleep with an eye shield on for ten days and the funny thing was that I would wake up with them in my hand. We went back a week after the surgery for another follow up and I was now seeing 20/20 and I was able to make out some of the letters on the 20/15 line. I met with the doctor who did the surgery and he was surprised that I was 20/20 after a week cause he was not specting for that but he was really happy with that out come.

Now with it being a year I am happy that I went through with the surgery and don't have to deal with glasses and contacts anymore.
