I don't know how to spell segway.

I can't figure out how to spell segway, and frankly I'm too lazy to go look it up. So please excuse my misspelling. Anyways. Remember how awhile ago I said I was going to catch a bus down to go to a certain ward on Sundays? Being the un bus savvy person that I am, I didn't realize that the bus schedules change on the weekends, particularly on Sundays. Friday I decided to check the bus schedules. Then I saw that the bus I needed didn't run on Sundays. I checked other buses. Basically, there was no way for me to get to church by bus on Sunday. So plans changed. I was going to take a bus home Saturday during the day, spend the night, go to church, then go back to school.

Saturday morning. I looked at the bus schedules. I found one leaving at 11:46. That seemed like a great time. I had breakfast, attempted to do my hair, then took it out in the middle of eating my Reese's puffs because I hate not being able to just run my fingers through my hair all the time. I went upstairs, packed a few things I'd need for the trip, took out a lot of things because I didn't want to carry it all. I decided to leave my room 30 minutes early. That seemed like plenty of time to get to the station.

Yeah. I didn't make it in time. Things happened. I was only half way there four minutes before the bus left. I contemplated running but the lights just weren't working with me and I didn't want to. Haha. And that moment is when it happened. That is when I almost got run over by a tour group on segways. (Those rolly things mall cops use.) I was crossing the street when they all came rolling by. Since they were a tour group, it was obvious that none of them knew how to fully use the segways.

I'd been angry earlier about why I was missing my bus. But then those segways rolled by and I couldn't help but giggle. I immediately stopped (once I'd made it across the street of course) and dug through my backpack to find my camera. This was too funny not to capture. I tried to be very inconspicuous while taking the picture though which is why it only looks like there's a few of them. Trust me, there were a whole lot more.

Those segways helped me find humor in the situation, and that it wasn't that big of a deal that I'd missed the bus and the next one didn't leave for an hour. Luckily my amazing mom came and got me. While I waited for her, I found where all my classes were. And decided that I really, really need my bike here. It's chained up to a pole as I write this, ready for the first day of college tomorrow. Eep, I'm nervous! My backpacks all packed though, ready to go. :)

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:)
