So a few things have happened in the last couple weeks: I turned 25, my job offer fell through, and I'm now having surgery.
Part way through the day of my birthday (May 5th) my Husband had to work a 24 hour shift but we made the best of it. I went and picked up food and we ate at his work place. Then that weekend we went out to eat at my favorite restaurant and he tried the food for the first time. We got two plates and split them. He actually really liked it. If you are in the middle Tennessee area check out Don't Have A Cow. We also started grilling out that weekend too. Lately we've been grilling every weekend. Some of the food may not be the healthiest but it is a great family tradition to start.
My job offer fell through the morning after my birthday. At least it wasn't on my birthday?.. I found out that it's because I have epilepsy even though the last seizure I had was ten years ago. Normally it would be illegal for them to do that because I'm covered under the Disability Act but since it's a federal job they are exempt. I think it's completely ridiculous since I 1. wouldn't be having a weapon 2. If I did happen to have a seizure it wouldn't harm anyone and 3. My medication works so well someone else is basically just as likely to have a seizure as I am.
Even though the job offer fell through (which would have helped pay the bills, insurance, etc while my husband went through college) we do have a back-up plan that we are starting now. I will talk about that in a later post though.
The weekend of my birthday my husband and I decided I should probably have eye surgery now rather than later. I went to a consultation a week ago and found out I am a perfect candidate for LASIK. I will be having the surgery May 27th (That's in about 1 week!). I am a little nervous but I am excited too. Jake and I really think it will help me in all areas of life since my vision is so horrible now. I will write more on that later as well.
Well as for the healthy side of this post:
Jake and I have been doing really well with remembering to have our green smoothies every day. They may not look green but the greens are in there! Lately I've been experimenting with spinach too. Jake is requesting them and actually enjoying them. Lately I've been trying out smoothie bowls. Basically, it's a smoothie in a bowl with toppings.
Well that is all for now. I will write another post this week about mine and Jake's back up plan.

Vegan non-chicken patty, baked beans, and grilled pineapple.
On my birthday it was me and Lando playing in the yard.

Toppings are: banana and flax seed
