Red, the blood of angry men!

Just saw Les Mis. It was AMAZING! Indescribably amazing. The goosebumps on my arms started with the first words of Look Down and didn't stop until the credits were over. My. Goodness. So good. If I was rich I'd go see it again. And then again. And then maybe three more times. Ahh! Such a great movie! I'm glad I waited to see it with Sammy and my sister. I hate watching love stories by myself because I get all sad and miss Sammy. Waiting to see it until I was home was a great decision.

I saw Les Mis back in high school, and was so glad to have seen it again! This time, I was able to understand ALL the jokes. Haha ; )

Favorite quote? Sammy going Friend Zoned when Eponine brought Marius to Cossette.

Still can't get over how incredible it was. What was weird though, was some coincidences that happened today! So, back in 8th grade, I had a best friend named Jessica. We were going to different high schools and were very sad about it. There was some high school event, and while there I met another girl named Jessica who had the most beautiful curly hair I'd ever seen. I was intimidated by her though and figured I'd never know her. When I went back to report to my best friend Jessica, I told her the other Jessica would have to be my replacement as a friend named Jessica.

I went to high school, and the honors program I was in took us to see Les Mis live. With a crazy turn of events, I ended up sitting next to curly haired Jessica for those three hours, and we got a whole lot of talking done. We later became friends and I felt silly for being intimidated by her. But I loved Les Mis that day, just as I loved it today.

Anyways. Today, we went to the theater and who was there, but my best friend from eighth grade Jessica! She was working and we only got to talk for a little bit, but it was still great to see her. I remembered the first time I saw Les Mis, and laughed that I got to sort of see it with both my friends named Jessica.

Thank you dad for owning the Braodway cd's of Les Mis. I don't know what else I'd do right now without them.

I love Les Mis. What a great way to spend the first day of the year. That is all.

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:)
