Wendi's Eyes

I am surrounded by sickies!! My sister, Wendi, had PRK surgery last Monday. (That's kinda like LASIK.) My Mom was going to take her, but she had a headache that prevented her from driving. So I got to be the lucky one to come along. They let us stay with Wendi through the entire thing. We even watched the surgery on a TV just out in the hallway. I don't do very well with medical things, but I watched what my tummy could handle. They scraped off the top layer of her eye and then made corrections. It was yucky. She felt fine right after, but yesterday was difficult. James (Wendi's husband) came home from Iraq yesterday as well. So, I got to play taxi service again. Even though it was dark outside all the car lights and street lights hurt Wendi's eyes. She tried to cover them, but that made her motion sick. No good, no good... I tried to tell her to stay home and let me just pick up James. She wouldn't do it, though. When I first watched the procedure I thought I wouldn't be too bad. Maybe I should start saving for something like that. But after yesterday-- I'll stick to my contacts, thanks. When Tami (my other sister) had hers done, it took her about a month to fully recover. I hope Wendi makes it faster. James is home now, though, so that will certainly help. :) I love you, Wendi!! Best of Luck!!

So, good news!! Jason and I have finally set an official, guaranteed date for our wedding! We will be getting married July 8, 2009. Yes, it's a Wednesday, but it will be a fun date (07-08-09) and it will be good for my work schedule. No set plans on where or anything yet, but a date is certainly a step in the right direction! We are way excited to be moving forward with our relationship and with our lives. Jason is still actively looking for a job (while he's not on his crazy pain medicine for his tooth) and looking into getting back to college this fall or next Spring. I'm still planning to work for America First, depending on where we move for school. So, slap a smile on, Jason and Bonni are getting married!!

Jason's Wisdom Tooth

Yesterday morning Jason got his wisdom tooth pulled. Poor kid, it was impacted horizontal in his jaw! The X-rays looked terrible. I'm glad we got it done, but I feel bad he's so drugged up and tired for the weekend. I went over yesterday with some redbox movies and a book to read to him. The left side of his face is pretty swollen, but no bruises. He mostly just wanted to sleep. But I had to wake him up every hour to change gos, so I don't think he slept very well. Hopefully last night went better with the sleeping meds they put him on. So, if you could keep him in your prayers for a speedy recovery, we'd appreciate it!!

Pictures

So, I have decided that I have all these wedding pictures that are just sitting around... I should have them up!! Today seemed an ideal day to do that, since my sweetheart is out cold after having his wisdom teeth out (Poor boy...) and I'm off. My puppy is jealous that I've spent so much time staring at a boring sceen instead of walking him, but I don't think anything could dampen his happy-go-lucky personality. Not even the lack of walking. *eyes roll* Such a silly ball of sunshine! Anyway, so if you want to check out my pictures they're up on facebook. :)

Puppy Graduation!!

My mom gave me, Jason and Bandit training classes at Petsmart for our Christmas gift this past year. Jason and I were so excited to have our cute "baby" learning all kinds of good things. Last Tuesday was puppy graduation and Bandit passed with flying colors!! We had such a struggle with "heel" in the last few weeks of class, but he picked up everything else so well, it was a simple test for us. :) When the trainers passed out the graduation bones, large size for the bigger dogs in class, Bandit could barely hold it up in his tiny mouth. He was so proud of himself, though, he pranced around and wouldn't let us take it. Mommy and Daddy bought him a a little blue elephant toy that squeaks for a graduation present, and he even got his picture taken with a cute grad cap. We're looking forward to our tax return to start the next intermediate class. We can't wait for our cute puppy to learn more!!

Hello Thursday!!

So, I decided I should start blogging. I'm still learning, so it might take me a while to get everything looking normal. I'm way excited to start, though. :)
