Hopefully getting new eyes soon

Today was just another day. We went and picked up Nathan's new toddler bed today. We are waiting until Thursday to put it together so that Jeff can be home to see Nate use it for the first time. I'm pretty sure it's going to kill me to look at the box for the next 3 1/2 days.

Most of you probably don't know that I have wanted LASIK eye surgery for a very long time. We have decided to go forward with this amazing surgery. I have been researching it and talking with my ophthalmologist about it for the last couple of years. I am having the surgery on October 29th. It's being done at PCLI-Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute in Kennewick, Washington. We are going in at 7:45 a.m. and I will be there for 2-3 hours. Even though the surgery only takes a matter of minutes they have to double check all of the important measurements of my eye as to do their best to not damage them. Sounded good to me. If any of the measurements don't meet their standards I will not be allowed to have the surgery. I am excited and a tiny portion of me is nervous as they are going to be cutting my eye and using a laser to burn the surface to reshape it. Seems like a good reason to be nervous, don't you? I can't wait to be free of glasses!!! I can't wait to be able to wear sunglasses when it's bright outside, I can't wait to get up every morning and not have to find my dirty, bent up glasses. I can wear hats without them hurting my ears where they squish against my glasses. I will be able to get in a pool and see, or not look stupid having to wear my glasses in the pool. I can wear a dress and feel pretty instead of looking stupid with my glasses on. I will be a freedom for me that I can't really explain. It will be a bummer if I can't get it done or it doesn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but I have worn glasses for almost 20 years they are routine in my everyday life so I'm not to worried about having to continue the routine.
