Summer, All the Time

It's a week into summer and it feels like it's been so much longer. I've gotten more done this week than I did most weeks of school. I don't feel the need to take naps all the time either. It's summer and I'm living. I've already gotten my Apple certification, I'm now an Apple Product Professional which means I should be getting a raise at work! I've been riding the bus as well so I've had time to write and read during times I would have been driving. There was one day I missed the bus and I was so mad at myself and as I was driving, I saw the bus I would have been on broken down on the side of the road. I'd said a prayer before work to get there on time and Heavenly Father really had my back. 

I've finished a book already, Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. It was a great read, I'd definitely recommend it. I've decided that I'm forever going to be  reading teen books, they're great. We took Sammy to Thorntonfest for the first time!!!! It was great we got to listen to some good 80's music and saw a woman doing sign language to a deaf dog. It was really cool to watch!

And I got my homebody self out of the house the other night and went to my friend's annual bonfire. Here's last years. This years it didn't rain and the weather was nice. It was weird seeing everyone from high school again, it's only been a year but we're all so different. It was hard not to have the typical, what's your major, where you going to school conversations with everyone. I've decided I want a fire pit in my yard. The sad thing was when Kelsey said this would probably be the last one since last year we'll all probably have apartments in our various cities. 

We were all talking about past bonfires, and the very first one I brought a stack of church magazines that were in my room because I thought it'd be fun to burn them. I was a pretty bad kid. Sammy stared in horror as they told the story and was like, "You burned them?! But they have good articles in there!" It was a fun night with friends, and my first college party. That's how the cool kids do it, after the first years over. 

I finally got pictures of Kelsey!



Sammy and his best man friend! 


The moon was beautiful

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:)
