His Name is Sammy

Whenever I introduce people to my boyfriend, they're always confused. I introduce him as Sammy, and they stand there for a moment awkwardly trying to figure out if that's what they should actually refer to him as. I'm here to set the record straight, his name is Sammy. Well, legally it's Samuel but he goes by Sammy. No, it's not some pet name I call him by. Yes, it's what he tells his boss, co-workers, and professors to call him when they first meet. His name is Sammy. That's something I've always loved about him, it's so unique. I'd never met a Sammy before I met him.


Speaking of Senor Sammy, I'm so proud of him! He's been to two job interviews in the last week. The first one was for a bank teller job, and the second was at Dish Network. After going to the bank interview, he was a bit worried about how to fit school in. So we were counting on Dish. Well, he gets into the interview and they ask him about his availability. He flat up said that he can't work Sundays. The guy interviewing him was from the singles ward we went to for a little bit, and he said that in all honesty, he'd have to work Sundays at Dish. So that was that. Sammy isn't even considering it anymore. He'll find something else that works. (Banks are always closed on Sundays. . . . ) 

It makes me so proud that he didn't even consider for a second working on Sunday. That's something that I struggled with when applying for jobs. I knew that I had a lesser chance of getting hired if I said I didn't want to work Sundays, which makes me so grateful for the job I have now which isn't an issue at all, the bookstore isn't open Sundays. I'm so proud that Sammy has made a commitment to keep the Sabbath day holy even though at this moment he isn't able to attend church. I feel a huge worry off my chest knowing that I won't have to fight for him to come to church with me on Sundays. It's something he's already decided and I know he'll be blessed for it.

    Matt worked at a bank when we were in college. It was his favorite job. Bankers hours are prime!

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:)
