Lasik

Today my cute husband Riley was able to go in for Lasik to get his eyes fixed! He went to Dr. Sykes at the Mt. Ogden Eye Center. 

Riley was pretty much BLIND. I am so happy that we live in a time where we are able to have things like this done. Seriously every morning since Riley was 7 the VERY first thing he has done when he wakes up in the morning is put on his glasses.  He was able to get contacts when he was in junior high, so that was an improvement but it still stinks to not be able to not see without either of those!

Oh Ri! He sure loves getting his picture taken!
These are were his mighty fine glasses!


Pre-Op

Right after his surgery. They get to wear those funny goggles the whole day after surgery and every night for the next week so nothing gets in your eyes.

Post-Op appointment

His eyes are still healing so its not so magnificent yet but it will get there!
In the post-op the doctor said he has a little inflamation but other than that things look good!
Riley thinks he can go hunting in 2 days so we will have to see how that works out...If my next post is on my husband going blind you will all know what happend....

The doctor and staff were all so great and very helpful. 

He said the thing that made him most nervous about the whole thing is me having to drive him home!

Well Riley I am happy for you and SO glad you were able to do it!
Love you babe!

Nielsen Family Pictures

A couple of weeks ago all of us Nielsens had our pictures taken. A friend of my
mother-in law, Malorie took them.










Thanks Mal! They turned out great!

New Blog!!

So...this is my second attempt at starting a blog. Last time I did one post and deleted it a year later. So we shall see how this new one goes! This one as come alot farther than the last one ever did, so things are looking promising!! Since the old blog we have gotten married and are living happily out in our little country home with cows and dairy farms all around. I figure the holidays are a great time to get into this blogging thing because there is a TON going on and a lot to post about. So, I will try my hardest to keep it updated with all of our adventures!! 
Thanks for joining us :)
