COA dinner

Well last Saturday my siblings came down from Laramie to watch my kids, so me and Shawn could go to the COA (Colorado Optometric Association) dinner. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. It was awesome. It was black tie optional, so I got to wear something other than blue jeans :). Unfortunately we didn't take pictures, maybe next time. It was good to get to meet some of the other ODs, especially the ones that Shawn works with. It is always nice to put a face with a name. The theme for the dinner was, 20 years of Therapeutic Excellence. So in 1988, Colorado passes a law stating that optometrists could write prescriptions. Yeah!! Shawn and I were joking that we should go up to the older doctors and thanks them for what they did while we were in 1st grade. :). But it was a great dinner, Shawn's brother was recognized for 10 years in the AOA. Congrats Kevin! And the lead speaker was Tom Sullivan. Who has been blind since birth and has lead a extraordinary life. Opened my eyes to what someone can accomplish. And not to look at blindness like a defect or disablity, but as a opportunity.
