Happy Father's Day

I have the best dad ever. Everyone always says that, but it's actually true here. To preserve his secret identity, I shall not post pictures of him in this post. I love him so much though and am such lucky girl. He knows about practically everything and is one of those dad's who needs a piece of graph paper and pens to explain the simplest of things. He has one of the strongest testimonies I've ever seen and has definitely helped mine. He knows all about computers, cars, and rock and roll. You can always find him strumming on his guitar.

I saw a bumper sticker today that said yes this is my truck, no I will not help you move. It instantly reminded me of my dad. He's always there to help with the many, many, many moves that happen. Always there with his truck. One time I told him he should sell the truck so that we wouldn't have to go on so many moves. He said that since we had been blessed so much it was our responsibility to help others. That really stuck with me.

I'm so grateful to have such a loving, knowledgeable, caring dad that holds the priesthood. I never realized how much the priesthood meant to me until this last year. If it was gone, life would be completely different. I'm so grateful for father's day. Dad's need all the recognition they can get out there. Especially in this new day. Have you seen all those commercials out there, where the woman is like men can't do anything. We NEED men. We're different for a reason. We balance each other out. Dad's do so much work, just like mom's, and get bad raps. I'm thankful for such a wonderful dad and a day to celebrate them.

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:)
