New Eyes

So, I have been sporting this look for several days now.  And I have confirmed what I already knew, I really hate wearing glasses.  I don't see as well out of them, they press on your ears and nose, and this is probably just me, but I never feel fully dressed for the day when I wear my glasses.

But there is a very good reason I have been enduring glasses for the last four days.  On Tuesday, I will be going in for Lasik!  I really can't believe this is going to happen.  Since I was in 3rd grade I have worn glasses.  I remember the first time I put on the pink plastic frames and looked out the window...and could see the twigs on the branches on the trees!  Amazing!  Everything was so crisp and clear!

Right now, without my glasses this is how the world looks

Or this...Noah is so over me asking him what time it is in the middle of the night.

And really, I am not exaggerating.  With my contacts I see things like you are suppose to of course

But there is the whole contact maintenance thing.  And with the move to Honduras, the whole clean water and getting contact solution thing becomes more of an issue.

So, sorta on a whim I started to pray about Lasik.  I don't know about you, but sometimes I pray for things not really thinking it could happen.  But God took that half heart prayer and answered it beyond anything I could have imagined!  He provided all the money for the procedure.  And while I am still a bit freaked out by the whole thing, I keep telling myself, I did days of labor, I can do 8 minutes of eye surgery!

But if you think about it, next Tuesday (the 8th) at 10:30, I will be at the eye doctor.  And then I won't have to deal with contacts or silly glasses again!
