The Rings of Power

They're back! Our rings that is! Two weeks ago we finally went and purchased our wedding bands. I decided to get my ring sized as well. We've only been engaged 9 months. . . I didn't want to be ringless for two weeks! And for good reason…

So, I was in my fiction class. Just sitting there minding my own business. Then out of nowhere this guy comes and sits next to me. My roommate told me he had been hitting on her all the time in her math class last year and that he was really weird, but I felt like giving him the benefit of the doubt. He sits in the corner with one of the other girls in our class and doesn't say much. So this was a bit odd. We started talking about Star Wars because I was wearing my Star Wars t-shirt that day. Everyone was asking me if I was wearing it because the cast of the new movie had been announced the night before. Nope, I was wearing it because I was bloated and felt fat and didn't want everyone to see. Anyways. So he's talking to me. Then class starts.

And he keeps talking to me. Over the teacher. I turned my head away from him all of class to pretend I didn't see his lips flapping. Class finally ends and I can't wait to get out of there. But the guy starts talking to me again. Then he stands in front of me and tells me that he has to go to work now. I say cool. He grabs my hand and starts shaking it. Then, he proceeds to ask me what my name is. WE'VE BEEN IN A CLASS TOGETHER A WHOLE SEMESTER AND YOU DON'T KNOW MY NAME?! AND NOW YOU'RE BEING ALL WEIRD?! It gets better.

He then asked me if I knew his name. I said, yeah, it's ______. He smiled and said, Good of course you remember my name. He shakes my hand for a few more seconds then lets go. Awkwardest handshake ever. He holds the door open for me and I say thanks. He says that it's his pleasure and keeps walking behind me. I immediately went into the bathroom to hide. Thank you women's bathroom, thank you!

So, in one of my later classes, the girl this guy usually sits with comes up and says, it looks like you're his new target. She then proceeds to tell me how he's asked for her number multiple times this semester, is all freaky and touches her a lot, and just won't leave her alone. She wished me luck.

The one week I don't have my ring, that happened. It was weird and gives me the chills. BUT my ring of power is back so I will definitely be scratching my face with my left hand all of class. If he still pursues me then, then I'll flat out have to say I'm engaged dude go away! Let's hope he's not one of those chase after engaged lady types.

Back to the rings and non creepy things : )

So, when I went to get my ring from the store, they gave me my wedding band as well. I wasn't going to see Sammy for a day, so I proceeded to wear it around. I love it so much!

It's a curved band but is straight at the same time. I was worried we wouldn't find a band that would look good with my ring but this is the perfect one. I texted Sammy a picture of me wearing my band and all day he kept telling me what a little stinker I am. But then, we went and picked up his ring. 

He was so excited too! He wore it around the mall and kept putting his hand up to his face, making a fist, and other such hand modeling poses. I can't wait until he wears his every day as well, it looks really good! 

Plus, a girl gave him her number the other day. We need our rings on, pronto!

  2. Wally told me that when he's in class and he's interested in a girl, the first thing he does-- it's a rule at BYU-I-- is check to see if she's got a ring. If she does, he doesn't even talk to her haha. (Not in a mean way, of course, just in a I'm-not-even-going-to-start-a-conversation-with-this-off-the-market-beautiful-creature.) So I wonder if that guy hit on you because you didn't have a ring... hmm...

  3. I love your wedding band! I'd take him hitting on you as a compliment ;) Just the other day I forgot my rings at home and told my husband that all the boys were going to want me now. No surprise, but no one said a word to me haha.

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:)
