Doctor's Appointment

I had an eye doctor's appointment in Salt Lake today. It was just a check-up and things are going well. I've had a few surgeries to reattach my retina- it's a long story, but now my vision is probably as good as it's going to get. In July the vision in my left eye was 20/200 and now it's 20/70, so it has really improved since then but it's still not very good! But the worst my vision has been is 20/600 in that eye (I couldn't even see the big E!). So I am actually grateful for what it is now. And I've been worried about it spreading to my other eye, but the doctor said today that it probably won't happen. I've never had any problems with that one, but he's always checked it and made sure it was ok. So I'm actually very happy with the progress.

Anyway- since I was driving all the way to Salt Lake and back in one day, I thought we should take advantage of the food and shopping. So my mom came with me and we took the girls. We stopped in Centerville at In-n-Out for lunch, which was a little weird because usually I only go there on the way to Disneyland or something. And unfortunately we weren't going there. And it was also weird to see snow on the mountains instead of palm trees, but it was still the best cheeseburger! We also did a little shopping before and after my appointment in Centerville. We all had a great time- it was fun to get away for a little while- even though it was to see a doctor!

Enjoying In-N-Out

Rylee loves ketchup- she even eats it out of the cup.
(Actually this was the first time I'd ever seen that!)

Reading a magazine in the waiting room.

Ashlyn was also reading a magazine like Rylee,
but stopped before we could get a picture
so this was our re-creation!

You're probably wondering why two BYU Alumni (my mom and I) would ever get a picture in front of the University of Utah sign, but do you notice the date? February 28- what a coincidence. We actually drove up a different way than usual and I just happened to notice the date. So of course, we had to get a picture!
