Here come the feelings!

Holy cow. I think I've experienced almost every feeling known to man in the last two days. Fear excitement anxiety doubt passion fear confusion happiness, and love love love. I've felt so much love from all my family and friends and my blog friends, so thank you so much! All of Sammy's neighbors came over yesterday to welcome me to the family and that was an awesome experience. I felt so so much love and excitement.

Now lets talk bout them other emotions. I thought I was crazy. Moments after Sammy proposed to me, I felt filled with fear. Why? Because I didn't feel that AHHH sun shining down from the sky moment of perfection and rainbows that everyone talks about having, or the reaction you always see on YouTube and tv. I thought something was wrong with me, that this wasn't right, and I was freaking out. The last thing I wanted to do was tell someone what I was feeling, because I didn't want to hear the, are you sure your doing the right thing, something must be wrong, and other responses. I've been hearing those since day one of dating Sammy, I didn't want to hear them now that we're engaged. 

So. I freaked out. I felt sick. My heart went haywire. And when people looked at me with doubt when I couldn't name off our wedding date yet, I just smiled and filed those feelings away. 

Finally I couldNt take it anymore. So I went to google. And guess what. THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL. My life is abut to crazily change. I no longer have a boyfriend. I have a fiancé. I have to plan a wedding. I'm going out on my own, with another person. Who is a boy! A stinky boy, just kidding. ;) who just got a new job. And we're in school! And we have to leave our mommies! And be grown up grown ups. And it's scary, and if I wasn't scared, then I probably wouldn't be normal. 

So I'm going to go on being honest about what I'm feeling, and let this new reality sink in. If you experienced this, please share with me. Advice is welcome :)

    You are so cute. I felt a titch a fear but not much. I think a lot of fear might just be a red flag...even though there are a lot of changes. Haha. Just pray your heart out about it. You'll get your answer if you haven't already.

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:)
