He Said Of Course

So. I've been dating this boy named Sammy for quite some time. And we've been making plans for quite some time. And we've been praying for quite some time. And I even tried on wedding dresses. Well, I got tired of waiting, so I decided to propose to Sammy.

First, I've been googling how to propose to your boyfriend for quite some time, just curious if I was crazy or if other ladies do this as well. It turns out they do! And in Ireland woman propose to their men on leap day. Since there isn't another leap day coming around for quite some time, I decided to just do it. The plan came together very quickly. I wrote a little speech and decided that I was going to put the ring in a donut. The only problem was, I didn't have a car. So my mom so very nicely drove me around to all the different places.
But we had to get some dinner first. We went to the ever so healthy McDonalds and ordered up some grub. They told us to pull forward and wait. Five minutes passed. Then ten. Nothing happened. So I went inside and told them we didn't get our food. They'd accidentally given it to another car. So we waited some more. And some more. They brought us the wrong food. We waited some more. Then finally I went inside again as the man came out the door. It was quite the wait.

While we were waiting, I texted Sammy's mom and asked her for permission to marry him. Out of everyone, she's been showing the most resistance towards us getting married. THAT was scary. She was really confused and I got a whole lot of !!!!'s in her messages, but she said that this was between me and Sammy. And that isn't the guy supposed to propose? I said yeah, but I couldn't wait any longer. (Plus, it's 2013. And when have I ever done things the right way?)

Next we picked up the ring. I didn't want to get Sammy his official official wedding ring yet, so I got him a stand in. We found one that looked just like this ring I've had for years in his size so that was exciting! Then, we headed to Krispy Kreme for the donut. Then I placed said ring in said donut.
The drive to Sammy's work was the worst! I had the nerves so bad. When we finally got out of the car, I felt like I was going to throw up. I literally felt my food coming up. I was so scared. I have a whole lot of respect out there for the men of the world who ask women to marry them. You go guys! But then I walked into the store, my mom started to record, and I read him my speech, got down on my knees and asked him.

He said of course. : )

We were both so giggly afterwards, it was so exciting. All of his coworkers were so excited for him which was great to see. It's a really exciting moment! I proposed! He said yes! We're getting married! I can't wait! I'm so happy right now : )

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:)
