Concert Pics

The stage

Inga, me, and Laura!

JMM - if you look super close he is in a black shirt and hat holding a very light colored guitar...

This was quite the event - nothing like what Nolan and I attended 2 years ago!

We girls had a very nice time; we all knew many of the songs that he played! I was a bit disappointed in the beginning with the sound -it sounded like his mic was cutting in and out AND he had forgotten how he had recorded his songs... I guess it has been since the mid-90s though...

Listen and tell me if you think he's a little off...
especially at the end the mic cuts off and the tempo? seems different...

Still, overall a great free outing with great friends! :)

And sadly Nolan didn't get his flight in... so we are praying that in the next 6-7 days max that he will be able to complete his last 4 NVG flights so he can still wing on 2 July!

Free Concert Tonight!

WHOOP!!!

Nolan, sadly, will not be able to join me, as he will hopefully (fingers crossed) be completing 1 of his 4 remaining NVG flights!

So.... I am going with my friends, Inga and Laura, and will possibly be meeting up with a few others, down to NAS Pensacola in about a half hour!

CAT COUNTRY 98.7 Radio Station here in P-cola in cooperation with MWR are hosting this FREE event! CAT COUNTRY is and has been VERY supportive of the military since we have lived here! Love them!
Nolan and I went 2 years ago to this event (it was a lot smaller then - no tickets were needed) - when we lived on NAS Pensacola and it was so nice to walk over and hang out under the stars and listen to (at the time) artists we really hadn't heard of... and chat with the people we were sitting around... and of course - people watch! :-)
Being that I grew up singing along to John Michael Montgomery I think it will be even more fun! :-)

Come back for pictures! ;-)

3 month LASIK follow up

Today was my 3 month LASIK eye surgery follow up and I can't be more pleased with the results thus far. My doctor, Dr. Jennifer Murray at the Eye Institute in Pensacola, has been amazingly wonderful from day 1... and continues to be. (more on that in a second)

I am still seeing 20/20 in both eyes, just as I was at my 1 month follow up, but honestly I think I am actually more near seeing 20/15, but if you miss 1 letter you get bumped back to 20/20 - no complaints though! ;-)

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have this surgery done. I have had glasses since the 3rd grade and it still boggles my mind to be able to get up in the middle of the night and not literally feel my way around/ close my eyes and 'see' in my head where it is that I am going! A huge thanks to my wonderful husband for continually encouraging me to 'spend the money'! ;-) For a while, I was going back and forth because it was quite a bit of money, but my job as a special education paraprofessional in Corpus Christi covered the tab nicely! ;-) Whoop for a great job and the financial aspect that has given me a daily gift of sight without contacts!

Aside from great results, Dr. Murray has continued to exceed my expectations. I had mentioned before that we would be moving in July and I would be needing to have my 6 month and 1 year follow up visits done by an eye doctor in the Jacksonville, NC area and this afternoon she called me to recommend someone! She continues to prove that she truly cares for her patient's continued care - outstanding! :-)

Nolan had his NVG (Night Vision Goggle) simulator today - his LAST - and now only has 5 NVG flights left! Sooooo close!
