New Glasses

I wore glasses from the 2nd grade through my sophomore year in college. That spring I went on a white water rafting trip. While rafting down the Ocoee river, our guide intentionally flipped our raft and I lost my glasses.
It was then that I decided I was going to get contacts.
It's not like this was the first time I had thought about contacts. Just ask my mom. She took me for what seemed like every day for a week 2 summers in a row to try to get contacts while I was in high school. I just COULD NOT do it!

After the rafting incident I decided that I had worn glasses long enough and I WAS DONE!

I got the contacts and the eye doctor insisted that I get a back up pair of glasses. I got them, but I could probably count on 1 hand the number of times that I wore them other than right before bed at night.

All those years of having to wear them had made me hate them.

However, this past Easter my whole family got pink eye. You can't wear contacts with pink eye so I had to pull out the dreaded glasses. That's when I realized that my glasses prescription is over 7 years old!

When I went to the eye doctor back in April, I decided that it was time for an upgrade so I got new frames to go with my new prescription.

Here they are...


Brandon and Chandler convinced me to wear them to church tonight so I did. I think it was the first time I've ever worn my glasses and not felt "ugly" and self conscience the whole time. :)
