THE question game

So. Two years ago, during thanksgiving break, I was texting this cute guy. And we played THE question game. As in the same game from that Sarah Dessen novel, but I'm pretty sure Sarah Dessen doesn't have ownership over said game. It's quite simple to play. You just ask questions, and then answer them. They can be as ridiculous or crazy as you want. I've played this game with quite a few people, but it was never as fun as it was with Sammy. We played all Thanksgiving break, and it was great.

Well, not when I asked him why he liked this other girl. Cause he told me she was different and had her own kind of beauty and bla bla bla. I remember thinking to myself, well, people don't get much different than me. Don't worry, Sammy eventually came around ;)

Case in point. This is my church outfit. I have never been afraid to mix patterns. And oh my goodness, you should really get sweater tights. They're my new favorite thing. They're tights but they feel like socks!

That was the funnest time I ever played the question game. The sad thing is, we've played it so many times, we've sort of ran out of questions to ask. The positive is, we're pretty great communicators. Except for the fact I didn't know he wore a retainer until we'd been dating for a year. Or how he got a new lamp last month. It astounds me that one would forget to tell their best friend they got a new lamp? 
That's life changing stuff right there! Haha!

I love him. :) He takes me on sweet breakfast dates before work to cheer me up.


Today, I decided to go to the family ward and I'm so glad that I did. In church a woman spoke and as she was introducing herself I was like. Oh. My. Goodness. She's lived through my life! AND SHE MADE IT! I went and talked to her right after and we chatted for a bit. I had goosebumps the whole time we spoke because she's been through the exact same thing I'm going through. So much so, that it deserves a bullet list. 
  • She met and started dating her husband in high school
  • He grew up in a very strong Catholic family
  • He started investigating
  • He told parents he wanted to join the church, they told him he'd have to move out if he did so
  • He didn't want to leave his family. 

Guess how the story ends? After about two years of dating, her husband finally decided that joining the church was worth all the other things, and he did. They dated for another year and then they were married in the temple. 

GUESS WHO'S BEEN DATING HER MAN ALMOST TWO YEARS!?!? 
GUESS WHO WANTS TO GO TO THE TEMPLE WITH HIM?!?!

That would be me. I know this was her story, and that I have my own and Sammy has his own. I don't know where it's going to take me/us. But it's going to work out. We'll get there. It was such a relief to know that SOMEONE out there has gone through what I am, almost to a t. Feeling pretty pumped over here.

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:)
