Playing Catch-Up.

Okay so this is my "one-blog can cover it all" post. First of all lets start with what I did right after I got home from Hawaii.

~DEER HUNT 2008~
The very next day... yes... very next day, was the opener of the deer hunt. Translation = JERKY!!! So my dad, Jamie and I headed out. I love the deer hunt, especially with those two!! Anyways... I ended up getting a 3 x 4. Not overly impressive, but it was my biggest one yet. (It's hard to be happy with a 3 x 4, when there is an 11 x 7 monster hanging in your house, courtest of my dad.) But, at least I'm getting better each year!
I love the time I get to spend with my Dad during the hunt. You don't say much while deer hunting, but that's okay. I love just being out in the middle of nowhere on our horses and spending that time together. I'm also glad that he's okay with taking a "wimpy girl" out with him, but since he doesn't have any boys, I guess he doesn't have much of a choice now does he! :)

~LASIK~
That's right I did it! I can now see without any contacts or glasses. Not only that... I can see 20/15!!! I have always said that after I graduated from college and got a job (okay so I don't exactly have a job yet) the first thing I wanted to do was to get LASIK eye surgery! I got it done at a place called Hoopes Vision in Sandy. They are so good!!!! And I'm not just saying that because of the massage chair OR the fresh-baked cookies. (entirely)


I couldn't believe how fast and painless (yes... painless!) the whole process was! The worst part about the whole thing was having to wear my glasses for a week prior to the surgury. Seriously. I would recommend it to ANYONE who has to deal with contacts or glasses! So amazing!!!!

~HAIR~

So, I got in one of those moods where you just want something different. (I'm sure most of you ladies out there know exactly what I'm talking about!) I really really didn't want to cut it again, because I've been trying to grow it out ever since the last time I wacked it all off, so I was going to have it dyed a little darker for the fall. Anyways... I wasn't completely sold on the idea and Angie told me that she had seen someone who April Donn had given extensions to. So I hit April up about it and we decided to try it.

And look at how good it turned out! I love it, and now I have long hair... and not just that... I have thick hair! All you girls who have thick hair are saying "big deal," but if you've never suffered the curse of thin hair (and I mean really thin hair) you just wouldn't understand.


So that's about it, things are going great, and I'm officially the crazy girl who is running around screaming, "I have new eyes! I can see and I love it!" and "I have new hair! I don't have to wrap the pony-tail holder around 40 zillion times anymore! Yipee!!!!" (I'm happy, don't judge me.)

I am very jealous of the Lasik...I have wanted that for years. I need to just go and do it. Your hair is beautiful. I just had my hair cut and extremely thinned yesterday. The lady that does it just kept saying "I cant believe how thick you hair is!" Yeah, I know I am lucky.

Sam I am very happy for you that you got the Lasik done. I can't think of a better reason to run around screaming you have eyes :) I have been trying to talk my mom into it FOREVER. You should tell her how easy it is. Congrats on the deer :) and I love your hair. I also have think hair and people who don't have thin hair just don't get it.

Angie said...

Yes, you are welcome, but you will eternally be in my debt for putting the hair extensions idea into your head!

Ya wanna know the best part about LASIK? The excitement and miracle of it all never fades. Seriously, what's it been now, almost 8 years ago and when I'm driving somewhere I STILL think "This is so freakin' cool!"

As for the deer...well, you got jerky--you share it with me--I'm happy:)

Jamie said...

The deer hunt was super fun. Congrats on the deer again. Save me a bag of jerky. Yes a bag, not just a piece or two. :)

I'm very happy you had the Lasik done and I love your hair. I can't wait to see it and feel how thick it is. I can't even comprehend it. See you soon!
