Sorry I’m so late, I didnt see this post until today. I love this! The thing is, Heather, you just can’t cover up your beauty. Not with glasses, not with 80s hair, and definitely not with that fro! I love it, and you truly are beautiful! I remember I was a MESS at those in-patient hospital stays and you were always completely put together looking perfect. Anyway, not sure if I love the post or the fro more! Both r so awesome. Xoxo

You are beautiful in both of those pictures. I still have your sr picture (somewhere!?) and that is exactly how I remember you. The picture thing, though. I totally get it! Don’t care for them either.

I had laser eye surgery when I was in my late twenties. It was awesome!!!!… for about 15 years. I just went to the eye doctor last month, and he wanted to give me a prescription to drive at night. I didn’t take it. I told him I’d wait til I ‘really’ needed glasses. Ha.

Oh, god. We’ve lived parallel lives — except for the perm.

I, for one, think that is an awesome perm. And it never matters when other people tell you you’re one hot momma, but I hope in your 50th year you will look in the mirror with love and think, Damn! I look good!

…Maybe your contacts weren’t actually working very will and the sexy new glasses will help.

I too have worn glasses since kindergarten. Same story. The year we brought Grace home new eye conditions started appearing. You have hit a raw nerve for me. I am painting again, a deep fear that some of my journey with Grace may not just be about her. God using her to prepare me.

love this post… all these pictures of you are gorgeous, as were all the shots of you at the wedding ( sounds like you are “over it” to me!)
hard work to give up contacts after all of these years… I let me daughter have them in sixth grade and they have definitely contributed to a better middle school experience for her. go easy on yourself, its hard work wearing glasses and you are not alone… eveyrone needs them at this time of life!

Oh Heather, thanks for brightening my morning. I think your glasses experience will be much easier at 50. I am so glad you are back.
