Trees Have Leaves?!

I finally went to the dr to get my eyes checked and it turns out this girl needs glasses. (No surprise there, really.)  I picked them up a couple days later, got in my Jeep, put them on, and i was about 2.3 seconds away from tears.  It was amazing.  I had NO idea what I'd been missing.  I could see!  I literally sat in the car for 5 minutes before driving off just amazed at all the textures and colors and crisp lines I could actually see. I was taking my glasses on and off and seriously laughing out loud at the difference.  It was ridic.  People who saw me sitting my in Jeep probably thought I was just released from the nut house or something.  But I really didn't care.  Because for once, trees had leaves, the asphalt actually had a pebbly texture, I could read the "ROSS" sign on the building across the street, and I could even see peoples face's walking towards me in the car... That's right, no more looking at the ground when I walk because it strains my eyes too much to focus on their face.  Awhooohooo!

Anyways, it's pretty great.  I was actually waiting allll week just to go to church this morning because I was SO excited to be able to see who was standing at the pulpit and read the hymn numbers behind them on the wall instead of just seeing blurs.  And let me tell ya... I was about 2.3 seconds away from tears... again.




Hope ya'll had a great weekend!  Alex, his dad, his step mom, and I went hiking again on Saturday morning.  This time we went up Waterfall Canyon in Ogden.  Pictures to come.  Have a great week! =)

Hahaha!!! You were seriously THAT blind? How on Earth did u get your license? I'm laughing right now, because that's exactly how it was with me when I 1st got my contacts. I went all through high school not being able to see the board and I remember at Jamba Juice, I couldn't tell who walked in till they got up to the cash register! You look super hot in glasses, but are u going to get contacts at all?
