Prime lens for NIKON to match my needs?

I purchased a Nikon D5100 a few months ago and I am slowly learning about it. I have a basic understanding of aperture, iso, shutter speed, etc. I have the kit lens and it came with an additional (telephoto?) lens as well. I adore my second lens (I'm sorry! I cant remember what it is exactly…still learning!) but I have to stand too far away. I am not a professional and would rather leave the serious stuff to the professionals. I mostly do portraits of my family and some personal events. What I am looking for is honest advice on a good lens that will serve my purposes. I want something that can take attractive portraits and yet be general enough I will not have to change out my lens constantly. Since my photography is for personal use, I cannot justify spending thousands on equipment. I am hoping to find something that will let me achieve a nice bokeh without having to stand in the other room. Also, and not sure if this is even possible, I am looking for something that will work well in low-light so I do not have to use the flash. Since most of what I photograph is candid shots or children, a slightly quicker lens would be appreciated.

For example, I want to take nice photos of my niece and nephews birthdays with a few crisp portraits I can frame for personal display. I also attend fundraisers for work, anniversary parties…etc and want to take nice photos that are dimly lit indoors without blinding everyone with flash.

If there is not a lens that is affordable ($500 or less range) I understand! I just am not sure what equipment I would benefit from the most to add to my arsenal.

I can't see or read out of my new glasses?

I just got new glasses, same power as my old ones and I can't read or barely see out of them. I see and read better without them on. What is the deal? My powers haven't changed according to my doctor, so why are these glasses worst then my old ones? My old ones were plastic lenses and my new ones are the Nikon lenses. I'm only 18 years old.
Added (1). My powers in both eyes are -4.50

Is the nikon D7100 worth it over the D5300?

Would I be better getting the nikon D7100 18 - 140mm kit and a 50mm f1.8 or a D5300 with 18 - 55mm kit, 50mm f1.4 and a 24 - 85mm f3.5 - 4.5G. The main thing on the D7100 is the weather sealing for me. Can the D5300 survive a rain shower? Also is the image quality equal on both cameras. Oh and by the way I know there FX lenses on a DX camera but they will be worth getting for new cameras I get in the future.
Added (1). On the D7100 i mean the 18 - 105mm

Which Nikon Lens to buy next?

I am a serious amateur photographer and need some help deciding which Nikon lens to buy next. I currently have a Nikon D700 camera body and have accumulated 3 lenses: Nikon 50mm1:1.4G, Nikon 80-400mm 1:4.5-5.6D, Nikon 105mm 1:2.8 macro. I started and still primarily use the macro lens for shooting picture in the operating room. Its great for that. I now want a more versatile lens for vacation trips and traveling. Its very hard to change the 3 current lenses I have and the 80-400mm lens although great for telephoto is ungodly heavy when traveling. Are there one or two lenses that one of you experts can recommend to me for traveling purposes? This would be all around photography and I just want something that beats one of those "all in one" digital models. Thanks for any help! Mike
