However, this cake did not look like a wedding cake, it was fairly ordinary. The frosting was a little cracked as well. But, what the heck, we're not getting our cake from target anyway and it was good and most especially, free.
We spent this weekend in Salt Lake. Katie and Cortney came into town and we watched conference. This weekend was also eventful because Rachel had Lasik surgery! She is a really good see-er now. The surgery went well. She started the weekend with 20/200 vision in each eye and now she's got 20/15 in each!!! That's better than normal. It was a super interesting process though. I had the opportunity to watch as they literally sliced her corneas open and then smoothed them out. She said it was scary and the only part that hurt was having these metal things holding her eyelids open. I felt a little helpless, because it was obvious she was going through some pain and they gave her a teddy bear to hold. She was squeezing it so tightly! :( But, the good news is, now she'll never be a nerdy four eyes again!
These are the eye protectors they gave her to wear at night. We got a more normal eye mask instead.
We were planning to have Katie and Cortney try taking some engagement pictures for us this weekend, but then found out that Rachel wasn't allowed to wear eye makeup for a while, so we decided to wait.
So in conclusion, I can't believe that I've been home for two years already, Rachel's eyes are super and target cakes are simply simple! It's a great day.

Nobody tells me anything! I didn't know you were getting the surgery already. Isn't it great? Derek and I were both pretty nervous during the process, but it's so nice to see so clearly the next day. Congratulations!
