Nick & Kacie Update

No pictures to share in this post, but I thought I would update what has been going on with Nick and I. I just had midterms, so it was a crazy week! 3 tests, 2 quizzes, a paper and the regular homework to keep up on! Lots of studying this week, but it went well and I am glad it is over! Now it is about one test a week until Thanksgiving. This week was also the equipment show, which is where major vendors of optometric equipment, lenses and frames come to campus. They have booths, hand out free stuff and give information to optometry students and local optometrists. I got lots of good information, some free handouts, and great discounts on glasses! We were able to buy 1 or 2 frames 40-50% off of wholesale price! Nick needed some new glasses, he got Nike frames (normally $245) for $45. I also picked out a frame for $35. We will order the equipment that we looked at sometime before Thanksgiving, so I need to make up my mind on a brand before then! Next weekend I am going to Indianapolis to walk in the VisionWalk which raises money for research to cure and treat blindness.

Nick says that he hasn't been doing anything...besides unsuccessfully cheering for the Hawks and the Cubs. At least the Cowboys are still winning! So I guess if you want to know what he has been up to, you will have to call him. We are planning to come back to Iowa for Thanksgiving, hopefully leaving on Tuesday night and getting home late Tuesday night. We should be able to stay until Sunday morning! We're excited to see all of you and miss Iowa!
