A Good Weekend

The eye exam was a success. My DD had to have her contacts special ordered but that was not a surprise as that's what they have to do every time for her. She did have a slight change in her vision but the optomistrist only changed her contact lens RX and said there was really no need to purchase new glasses unless we just wanted to spend the $$$. He didn't have to tell me twice..LOL! My vision did change but not drastically, just enough to put a horrid strain on my eyes and keep me with a chronic headache. I can already tell the difference with the new contact. I wear only one in my left eye for reading. It was sorta weird at first wearing only one contact but after the first week I got used to it. It's been over a year now and it's now no big deal.

After the eye exam I took my DD and her bestie shopping for a birthday gift
for a friend in their youth group at church. They giggled and poked fun at one another and couldn't resist shopping for themselves also. With gifts bought and both girls with a couple of new additions to their own wardrobes we settled in for lunch at Cheddar's before heading home.

The bestie had been with us since Wednesday so it was time for my DD to go to her house for the weekend. I have yet to hear all the fun details but I do know there was 4 wheelers and hunting shows involved. DD even ditched me after church this morning to go back to the bestie's house. I didn't mind though. This is the first real good friend my DD has had. The joys of giggly girl time has been scarce in my DD life so I welcome these experiences for her with open arms.

I finally found some scrapping mojo and did a LO on Saturday. It's of my DD and stepdaughter. I kept trying to add more elements to it but in the end
I decided that keeping it simple was the best way to showcase the story and the photo. Clicking on the photo will take you to the gallery to view the credits.
