All the better to see you with my dear

Last Monday Mike got lasik eye surgery. He has been wanting to do it for a VERY long time and they were able to fit him in before Christmas. He is so glad that he did it and I was surprised how easy the recovery was. Some drops, a few rules and he was back at work on Wednesday - WOW! Technology is fabulous - don't you think?

Here is what he looked like when I picked him up on Monday. I pulled up to the curb and he just stood there and stared at me trying to decide who I was (that freaked me out a little) but being blurry after the surgery is normal (he said).

Here is what Mike described as the worst part of the recovery. These very beautiful and stylish eye shields that he has to sleep with for a week. Mike is not a back sleeper so this has been horrible for him!



and for those of you that are as fascinated as I was with the whole process - Here is Mikes actual surgery! They give a copy to all the patients, which I thought was pretty cool. A few parts are hard to watch if have issues with eyes and it is a little long, but very interesting.
Mike says that if you are thinking about it - DO IT! He is very happy and we both think it was completely worth it.

Celebrations!

Tuesday December 1st was our 5 year anniversary! Can you believe that we made it to 5 years? Yeah for us because marriage is not the easiest thing (especially if you are married to me!) I wouldn't trade a single day of it though, and I would say "I do" all over again. Hopefully we can honor the legacy of December 1st :)

As much as we LOVE Flemings we decided to do something a little different and go to Christophers (big stretch huh? we love steak!) It was fabulous and our server was great.

Beautiful flowers that Mike got me. I always think I am not a flower gal, but then love them so much when I have them. Guess I am pretty girly huh?

I always knew that I wanted a 5 year band to go with my wedding ring. Sorry that the picture sucks and you have to look at my sausage fingers, but I love it!! I was VERY excited to finally have it and have looked down at my hand about a million times since we picked it up.
Thanks for 5 great years bebo! I love you!

Monday November 30th was Remi's 10th Birthday! Whoa, Old man! We decided to try the birthday cookie again and made him share with Lincoln this year!

The video is not as entertaining as before, but it cracks me up that he keeps trying to take it away from Lincoln. It was a super fun week - now we are just counting down to Christmas and Mike's birthday!
