The Little Things

I've really been appreciating the little things this week. Like, watching a movie with Sammy and not being wiggly the whole time. We watched Now You See Me last week and loved it! We were both sucked in.

My grandparents came for a short visit and it was fun just talking with them and listening to their stories. I did end up missing two classes to talk with them but it was so worth it.

Because I was extremely late for my second class and it would be rude to just walk in, Sammy and I took a mini date to our favorite bookstore. He waited patiently while I looked at alllll the books and then said he would even get me one. There were three that I couldn't choose from, so he chose for me. Oh. Man. Such a great book! Then we sat and ate and read magazines. Afterwards, we took advantage of the random sunny day and walked down 16th street mall, just because. We didn't go in any stores and there were some pretty scary people but it was fun. It was just the two of us on a little date.

Simply adding lettuce and sour cream to a burrito makes a whole new world, of deliciousness!

The one little thing I am most happy/proud about is a bit strange. In all those lovely marriage books and quotes and such, they always say if you want a successful relationship, sometimes you need to just give up your pride and apologize first. It's better to do that than to be right. This is something I've really struggled with but last week, I tried it out. It was hard. It felt so, weird. But it brought instant happiness and relief to a situation and made it so Sammy and I could have a fantastic day instead of me sulking over something stupid. Someone on the outside never would have noticed but it was huge for me, and I'm really proud about it.

The littlest line tweaks make all the difference in poetry, and I'm glad that my class was kind in their manner of helping me become a better writer.

The littlest hair twirls or back scratches instantly change my mood.

Little texts from family make me feel reassured.

The end.

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:)
