Glasses & contacts.. oh my!

I wear contacts and I have glasses (blech!). I switch back and forth pretty regularly. My husband also wears glasses and contacts. We have lucked out with the kids. All have had eye exams and all have been great *knock on wood*.

In the military, service members get prescription glasses free. Family members need to purchase their eyeglasses. We do get a free eye exam. Some companies might offer a discount rate for tricare holders. But in general its all out of pocket costs. It gets so expensive! I have ordered my contacts online but never tried to order glasses.

Being stationed overseas the internet is my best friend. I get everything I need shipped here, since resources are limited.

I am actually due for new contacts and could use a nice new pair of glasses. I have some dark framed ones now and I think I want to branch out and try something different. Of course since I now have Dark brown hair instead of my natural blonde.

I've been browsing around and have found that GlassesUSA.com is an excellent place to get glasses from! They have high quality frames and lenses, offer a 110% lowest price guarantee and a 100% satisfaction guarantee along with a generous refer-a-friend program. You can't beat that!

I'm certainly going to give glassesusa a try! I hope you will too.

Hitting the slopes

Today we are checking off one of my 30 before 30 things. We are going to snowboard the alps.

I thought we were going to drive to the mountain. TO the mountain. Take a lift up and ski down. Well we have to drive UP the mountain. This gives me stress. You know when you watch tv a show and someone is trying to get over their fear of something and they literally freak out. That is how I am with driving up mountain. My heart starts racing, head pounding. It's terrible. I decided I couldn't go. I couldn't do it. But here I sit in the car on the way to the slopes. I took an anxiety pill in hopes that I would feel better about it. I don't.

I'm sure it'll all be fine. Crosses finger.

A nice little calorie burn before 10am. Now strength training. Loving the captains chair!

Now that I have the blogger app on my iPhone I'll probably annoy you with posts. Ha!
