I decided it's time to complete my geek look. I went to the eye doctor today, and they told me I need glasses for looking at things up close (such as computer screens). I went to LensCrafters, so I could have the glasses for tomorrow. But when I was finished, they told me I won't be able to get them for 1-2 weeks. I think their "in about an hour" thing refers to the time it takes once you give them the prescription to when you're given the receipt. It also cost a lot more than I expected. Part of that was because I got 2 pair - one for home, one for work. But even so, it cost twice as much as I was expecting. And I just turned down vision insurance two weeks ago. Oh well.

HEY FOUR EYES!!!!! I've never been to anyone but a real eye doctor so I dunno how these "in about an hour" things work. With my insurance, glasses still cost me around $50/pair because the insurance only covers so much.

That's a lot better than $350 /pair.

YEOUCH! I've never paid anywhere near that much for glasses in all my life.

You were robbed! What about their ad that says 2 pair for $99?

That's the glasses. Now if you want frames for that glass...... Actually, my guess is he got socked for the exam.

Actually, it would have been more. The frames were about $185, and the type of lenses that are for looking at computer monitors were $290 each (which was $90 more than the basic pair), but the lenses were 50% off.

I did find out that I have a very basic vision insurance included with both my health & dental insurances. It's a maximum of 30% off, but it can't be combined with promotions (such as 50% off lenses), which doesn't make sense to me. I'll go down and have them figure out which way is cheapest for me.

It's fantastic weather here in Utah, and I decided I needed to go mountain biking today. Normally I just go biking up the Provo River Trail, but today I wanted to get onto some trails. Lucky for me the Internet decided to have some good suggestions on where to go around here, and I found this one . Previous to this experience, I've only been "Mountain Biking" at Sundance. In some ways this trail was better than Sundance, in other ways it wasn't as good. Namely that it has a good 30-40 minutes of climbing before you get to any downhill (Sundance has a lift, negating the need to climb). Climbing uphill on a bike for 30 minutes wears you out fast. I had to take a few breathers. I think I took a few wrong turns too. But, what wants to go down must go up first. I wish I could relate to you how much fun it is to bike on mountain trails, particularly the downhill ones . Flat are good too, but downhill is a blast. You go through the forest, over streams, thro...

I'm no longer "un-officially engaged". That's right. Your teasing and blunt hinting is old news. You all know the big news. No definite date yet, but it's looking like beginning to mid-July. *sigh* Long time. It actually works out great to do it then for when Katie's parents come home and Brigham's school stuff. I told Christa I'd put up pictures on here, but I realized I don't actually have many pictures. Mom and Dad have a few. These are a couple of pictures Pictures taken with my phone today. Better pictures coming, I'm sure.
