My New Accessory

I find it amusing that as a kid it was so "uncool" to have to wear glasses. We didn't want to be "four-eyes," am I right? And then we got older and hey, glasses weren't so bad! A) Um, you can actually see, and B) it's a fun way to change up your look (or make you look smarter than you really are. ha!) 

Well, I haven't updated my pair of glasses since I got them back when I was 16. So, you can imagine how small those little lenses are at this point in time - which is why I couldn't bring myself to wear them unless I was in a dark movie theater! So, imagine my delight when my parents surprised me with an eye-exam and brand new pair of classes when I was home last month. (I was so very blessed - being on a newlywed/Dave Ramsey budget had the eye care waaaay down on the list of things we needed!)

My mom and I nearly lost our lives trekking out in the middle of a snow storm to pick out these frames (oh the memories!), but the time with her was worth it! And the glasses too, of course! 

What do you think? 


The first thing Strom thought of when I put them on for him was Tina Fey and then he called me Sarah Palin. I was thinking more along the lines of S.E. Cupp. But that's okay! I'm diggin' the glasses. I've never been so happy to have "four-eyes." I can once again see clearly!

Love the glasses - they look great one you! I am a fan of thick-frame glasses. Btw, a professor at work calls me Sarah Palin every time he sees me! Ha!
