Something great happened to me and these are 10 things I will NOT miss:

10. Wiping the dew off my glasses every 2 minutes when running along the beach in the mornings. If I can't see the beach what's the point of living here?
9. Forgetting to wait 5 seconds when opening the oven. If I don't then the steam fogs up my glasses. It's only temporary but it's really annoying.
8. My kids bending my glasses in all directions and poking my eyes with them while trying to put them on my face in the morning while I'm still sleeping.
7. Wondering when my glasses are going to break from my kids.
6. Allergies to contacts (after 15 years of wearing them allergies started in August and I quit trying to wear them last month)
5. The eye doctor telling me initially what I thought was an allergy was probably just me eating something spicy then touching my eye. Really, I can't poor hot sauce in my eye? Because I just really wanted to try after 15 years. It was probably just coincidence that this happened everyday I tried a BRAND new contact. Yep, I left that doctor.
4. Not being able to wear my "loops" at work. (AKA: My magnifying glasses.) Because I had to wear my prescription glasses instead.
3. Not being able to see the time on the clock if I wake up in the middle of the night.
2. Not being able to see a shooting star at Lake Powell when going to sleep on the top of the houseboat with my family. "Did you see that one?" NOPE. "Oh, that one was cool, did you all see that one? NOPE!
1. DRUM ROLL PLEASE...the number thing I won't miss: When the nurse brings my newborn baby to me in the middle of the night at the hospital, not having enough time to put my glasses on, the nurse shoving the baby in my lap saying "She's starving" then just about feeding her NEVER once realizing it wasn't my BABY! Because I couldn't see. Don't worry. Chad woke up and stopped me from feeding the baby with only centimeters to spare.

Who wouldn't miss these things? But the reason I can use the word MISS with certainty they will never happen again...I GOT LASIK last Thursday! Here's some pictures Chad took when he watched the monitor.

This is a picture of doctor peeling back the layer of cornea the first laser created:

I didn't post the pictures during the laser. My eye was retracted & it looked scary. But this is right after when the doctor was sealing the cornea back with some sponge-like thing in the upper left part of my eye.

Hopefully, you didn't get nauseous. COOL, huh? I still can't believe it. I feel like I can see so much better than I did even with contacts.
