The number one thing I have 'nagged' Ryan about since we got married is..."don't break your glasses."  It all started when he went through 3 pairs of glasses in the first 6 months of our marriage.  (I do have to mention that those glasses had a weak spot in the design and LensCrafters did not live up to their warranty on the frames.)  Since then, he tried to wear contacts for sports to protect his glasses.  We have loved his current frames but they were having signs of dying because they are 3+ years old now.  Ryan just wanted to wait to get out to PA and get new glasses at the school because he gets a killer deal as an Optometry Student.  Well, it looks like we can't wait until then.  Last night Ryan came home from basketball and said, "Megan, I have some bad news."  They were broken.  To give him credit, he didn't get hit in the face, he just took them off to wipe sweat off of his face and they fell apart.  Ryan is a pro at repairing glasses, but these are unfortunately beyond repair.  

Anyway, we went up to Jessica Graham's practice a week or so ago to visit and check her practice out.  While we were up there we tried on frames and now we are thinking that this is the perfect excuse to get the frames that looked really good on him.  We are thinking that we will just get super cheap lenses here for now and just replace them once he is at PCO.  

These frames are actually pretty similar to what he has been wearing.  We are planning on doing some checking around in the Provo/Orem area before going up to Dr. Grahams.  We don't care about the fancy-smanancy brand, but we do want something that holds up to lots of wear.  This is just a little frustrating because we have had so many unexpected big expenses come up lately and we were really hoping to wait on getting glasses until the fall.
