The Aquarium!

I went to the aquarium yesterday! IT WAS THE FUNNEST THING EVER! Need an idea for a great date? The aquarium. I had so so so much fun! I haven't been since the fifth grade and it was so fun. I even conquered my fear of the aquarium, with the bestby holding my hand. I only got really really scared once, that was at the shark tank exhibit, it was dark and they had whale songs playing. . . Talk about creepy.!

Before I could go to the aquarium, I had to take my physics test. Blech. Since I signed a bunch of papers, I can't officially discuss it right now, but I can in 24 hours, so if you would like to have a discussion just let me know. Then. Anyways, it was pretty hard, I'll be happy if I get a 3 but I'm not that hopeful. I had my lucky testing outfit on. Don't ask why, but when we taking all those practice tests, I swear, these are lucky gym shorts and hair do! Since it's unbelievably cold in the testing room, I had to add the long socks. One of the proctors thought I was a leg amputee and asked where my crutches were because it looked like I had no legs in the socks. Ha, that was pretty funny.

Yeah. Guess what? I NEVER EVER HAVE TO DO PHYSICS AGAIN! Then, off to the aquarium! I fell in love with each and every fish and creature there. I'd never felt so much love in my heart. I had so so so much fun being there with Sammy and all my family. It was, ahh! It was beautiful. I'm scared of the ocean but seeing all the different creatures down there and all the colors and differences, man. I was awed at the beauty of the earth. That doesn't mean I'm still not terrified to go into the ocean, but man. Seriously, the best date ever.

I took about a million pictures and I was having a wanna be photographer artist moment, so please bear with me. This really nice guy named Mike came with the bestby and I through one of our rounds, we went through the whole thing three times:), and he told us a lot about all the fish! It was just so so fun! I was getting goosebumps when we got home and were talking about all our favorite fishes and such. It was so fun! What, no, I didn't almost cry in the middle because I was just so happy. :) :) :) :)

The bestby made sure I got across the street safely and pushed the button so we could walk.


Getting eaten by the shark.

Turtle!

Sammy thought this looked delicious.













This was one of my favorites


My favorite was the seahorses. I love them. I think it's so so cute that the daddy seahorses carry the babies. Sammy and I went back to see them a couple times. 



This dome was so triply


She loved the turtles.



This was a monkey fish. They jump out of the water to eat bugs. Mike, the nice man who accompanied us told us that one time they were eyeing up his fingers.


Leopard Sting ray!


This turtle had such a cool neck

The tiger didn't want to say hello. That's ok, I totally know how he feels.


Coolest. Frog. Ever!

I love the colors so much!





It looked like it was cuddling with the plant as a blanket.



Ok, I spent like twenty minutes petting the sting rays. They feel so cool! It took some coaxing, but Sammy felt one too. He didn't get to feel the top of it though, which is all slimy but not the gross kind of slimy.

THE KRACKEN! 

After Sammy read how the wolf eel flirts, he proceeded to ram his head into my stomach. So cute :)



Mike said that the octopus never moves, so I had to get a picture! He must have known I was coming so he woke up.


Pufferfish! Everyone was trying to scare it so it would blow up.

I love him :)



I showed those piranhas those suckers in my mouth

Seahorses again!

Loook! They're hugging:)


I feel like they switched the exhibits so it could be like nemo. . . 


We were watching this thing and looking at what we thought was its mouth. . . Then things started to come out. I SAW A FISH POOOP!

Seahorse Love :)

We walked down these stairs in British accents, feeling quite elegant. 
Ok. Yeah. I got a seahorse at the gift shop. I'm 18 and I still like stuffed animals. Don't judge. Sammy liked him too. We named him Qui Gon! Sammy licked his ears, and told me it was so he could show him he was loved. So cute!

It was a great great day :)

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
