Valentines Day and Lasik

I've always really loved Valentines day, even when I was single. I guess just because it's a day that celebrates pink, chocolate, and flowers...three of my favorite things. This year, Jeremy did something really sweet. He got a beautiful bouquet of flowers

He also had a remote start installed in my car. I'm so excited that i won't have to go outside to scrape the ice off my car in the mornings when I start my 3AM-3PM shift. Yay! In other news, Jeremy had lasik surgery done on Friday afternoon. Everything went really well and when he went back the next day for his followup appointment, they told him he had 20/25 vision. It takes about 3 months for your eyes to really settle after the surgery, so it's very possible that they could improve even more. Here is a picture of Jer in his awesome eye protectors
It's going to be really strange never to see him in glasses again!

Visit Home

I have not been a very faithful blogger lately, but I'm going to try to be better! Last week I was able to visit family in Boise and Provo. I kind of considered this my Christmas break since I had to work the holiday this year. I had a great time in Boise with my mom and dad. We went to a few of the restaurants that I had been missing in PA (Tucanos and Cafe Rio), went shopping and just had a fun time hanging out.
I tried to edit out the "crazy eyes" on the dog but couldn't do it, I guess he is more like himself that way anyway.
I don't have many pictures from this trip because I forgot my camera. (That is what I get trying to pack after working 3 night shifts and getting basically no sleep afterward). On a side note, night shift is coming to an end for me in April, YAY!!!
I was also able to spend time with my good friend Brooke while I was in Boise. (Notice the dog in the picture waiting to go in for the kill for the cupcakes as soon as we are distracted). It was so good to be able to spend some time with her! On Wednesday I flew to Provo to stay with Nic, Noelle, and Luke. It was really great to be able to spend some time with them. Luke is getting so big! On Friday, my friend Merrilee and I went to the Carl Bloch exhibit at BYU and out for cupcakes at the Coco Bean. It is a really neat exhibit, definitely go if you get the chance! It's at the BYU museum of art until May. It was kind of gross to come back to real life...work...ice storms...but it's good to be back home with Jeremy!
