A little bit of everything is going on! Easter has already come and gone. It's hard to believe that we've been here for 5 months. Shawn is still working long hours. The game is already getting a lot of buzz so that's a good thing. All you guys better go and buy it when it comes out so these long hours are well worth it. Stuntman: Ignition from THQ.
We still have not found a church yet. Several reasons; Shawn's work, can't find one close by that we feel we would fit in with and the ongoing saga of my eyes. For those of you that don't know, I was scheduled to have Lasik surgery on my eyes February 6th. Onthe 5th I went in for an exam and they detrmined that they could not do Lasik because my corneas were too thin and my estigmatism was too bad. So of course I was devastated. And I had six weeks of company coming to help me out after surgery. I had an appointment with another doctor a couple of days later and found that I only had one option if I wanted out of glasses or contacts, implants. So on the 29th of March I went through the first Verisyse Introcular Implant surgery. It actual wasn't as bad as I once thought. I had to go under IV sedation and they made a little incision in the top of my cornea and slid a tiny "contact" lens in. I have two little stitches in my eye that will come out on the 26th of April, when I go in for the left eye. It's amazing how well I can see out of the right eye, which has caused havoc with the glasses. In three months I will have to go back and they will do the PRK laser surgery to correct the rest of the astigmatism that the implants could not correct. Just so you know, I am the only patient, so far, that will have to have the additional PRK surgery. That's how bad my eyes are. I knew I was blind, but not that blind!
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TIMOTHY YORK! Sorry we couldn't be there to celebrate with you. We love you little guy!
It seems like we have had company every other week since we've been here. My Mom and Dad have been here twice, Shawn's Mom and Dad have been here and will be back on the 25th.

We went to Six Flags while Laura was here and we ran into Lindsay Brinkley first thing inside the park. How crazy is that! She and her friends drove up for Spring Break! She said that her family is doing well in Houston.
