I'm so friggin excited, I had to share good news!!
My FI has been wanting Lasik surgery for several years. He's been saving up money to do so since he got himself out of debt, and he really wanted to be out of glasses in time for our wedding. I promised to contribute to the total cost as his Valentines gift this year from me, as soon as he got the surgery scheduled. Boy, did I ever!
A local eye care center offering Laser LASIK had a promotion in February where you could nominate yourself or a loved one for free surgery on both eyes as long as you explained why this person deserved it. I nominated FI (background: he's honorably discharged USMC vet, he's working full time night shift in a job with no health benefits, and maintaining a perfect 4.0 in school full time). I got a message from the center today, winner is supposed to be announced tomorrow, and FI WON!!! (he doesn't know yet, haha) My wonderful husband to be won free LASIK surgery!!! It's all I can do right now not to run home, wake him up, and tell him the great news!!!
Side note: my productivity for the day is now shot, I'm so excited and happy for him!
