On Campus

Jackson & I had a wedding shower to go to on campus yesterday, which was quite lovely. Some good friends of ours are getting married so we decided to bake a carrot cake for their shower too. It was yummy. When we were through with the shower Jackson & I went to my office to do some work & make some phone calls. When we were done with that we where heading "down the hill" to Shands to get my eyes examined. I called to get in, which was an "emergency fill" appointment, and then asked the price. The lady on the line said "well it can be anywhere from $200 to $700 for seeing an attending". I expressed to her that I had already spoken with the attending physician regarding the procedure that was to take place. The lady said, "but the attending can have more tests run". I said not with out my consent. So I asked her again, "how much will this procedure be?" The lady said again "between $200 & $700 dollars. I said thank you very much & cancel my appointment. Needless to say, they wanted to me to get there by 3pm, and then wait several hours to "fit" me in. I decided that walking campus was infinately more appealing. I apologize for the tyrade, but people have to realize that life needs to lived & not stuck in a waiting room so that one can pay that kind of money for 1 procedure. We stopped to smell the roses today.

Jackson fell asleep on the walk to Lake Alice.

Here is Lake Alice on the campus of The University of Florida, quite lovely isn't it.

Here is the Baughman Center. This is where Jerrod & I were married. I love the architecture.

After Jackson & I walked all around the Baughman Center & toured the inside of it. We walked out the front doors to spy a squirrel. Jackson took off after the squirrel, where the squirrel ran up this oak tree. Jackson is try to see where the squirrel went & why isn't he back on the ground ready for some play time.

We love this picture of Jackson. Such joy, love and zest for life in that expression.
