About a week before my birthday, I got LASIK done. I feel so blessed that I could get it done. It's definitely one of the most freaky deaky things I have ever done. As I was sitting there watching my eyes get laser-ed and watching the Dr put my flap back in place, I kept thinking I cannot believe this is even possible! Technology is an amazing thing. I could go on and on about the blessing of vision and how such a crazy procedure is almost no big deal for these Drs. But I need to carry on. That first night I felt like I had been turned into a vampire because my eyes burned, light her, my eyes were red, I'm super white etc. I was super attractive with red eyes. But no more glasses!
The day of my birthday, we got the keys to the our new house! My friend, Elizabeth, gave me the hook ups to a bunch of restaurants that give free birthday meals so we celebrated at Black Angus that night. I love being with my husband and baby. Life is good when I'm with those two.
Breakfast & Roses
Just laughing at some of Kelly's jokes...
Dinner
Kisses... Muah!
After dinner, our wonderful Browns brought over a surprise birthday cake and ice cream. And Michael picked up his dad from the airport. He came to town to help up us pretty up the new house!
Friday we headed over to the new house and started painting!
Clearly, Laila and Mason were huge helpers.
Saturday, we packed up most of our material belongings into this truck...
Then we got back to work painting.... BAH! But you can see what a transformation it can be. The "Revere Pewter" on the left is new. The tan on the right is old. I'm very excited to get back to the new house and finish up some painting and projects.
This is the living room with a bunch of our stuff and the new paint!
Saturday we also broke in the new pool with Jen and Mason. After being hot and sweaty packing and unpacking and painting, I'm pretty dang excited about owning a pool! Hallelujah!
I joked with Michael that after giving me vision and a new house, he's going to have a tough time topping this birthday! But knowing him, he probably will figure something out... I'm a lucky girl!
Here's to being 27~
if i ever get out of here, i'm getting my eyes LASERED.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Whenever I talk about LASIK that line does not get out of my head!
