things i'm grateful for

i told a friend of mine this week that i wish they taught a college course on how being a grown up isn't exactly what it's cracked up to be.

but there are definitely some good things.

here is where i enumerate some of them.  

because it makes me happy.

my new glasses -- oh guys, do i have the story for you.

{so i've had glasses for 9 or 10 years. when i got my glasses it was a really light prescription for nearsightedness. well that prescription stuck, i.e. i've always had the same prescription and the same pair of glasses. (that's right. the SAME pair for 10 years. holla.) so lately my eyes had been hurting and i'd been getting headaches after staring at my computer all day at work. so on a whim i decided to go get my eyes checked...and guess what?! i'm now FARSIGHTED. that's right. my eyes corrected their nearsighted problems and went the other way. thankfully, it's not a strong prescription. but they're cute. i'll get a picture up.}

well, that did make me feel better.

hope you all are having a fabulous day.

xoxo.
