First Day of Church

We went to our new ward for the first time on Father's day. It was so exciting. Sammy and I were going together, something I've been waiting for for sooooo long! We had 9:00 church which was nice but also not nice because no sleeping in. We were also a bit late because we didn't know where the building was. Because of this, we had to sit in the front row where everyone was staring at us. The kids behind us were really stressing me out, they were breathing in a weird, gagging, stressed manner. I thought perhaps one of them was having a panic attack. 

After being in the same ward for 16 years, it was weird being in this one. There wasn't a familiar face anywhere around me besides my husband of course:) The primary got up to sing and I was shocked at how small their primary was and well behaved! Not one kid tried to sing directly into the microphone. Sammy and I rated the little girls dresses. 

After sacrament, we stood there lost. Luckily, the bishops wife came up to us and introduced herself. My first impression of her was your typical pastor wife, dressed very nicely even with a hat and very friendly. The bishop came down as well and we started talking. 

I introduced myself as Kylee Gomez. It was my first day in a new place, why confuse the people when I officially get my name changed. It was so weird though! I felt like, ahh! My name! My identifier! 

The bishops wife quickly got our story and led us to gospel doctrines class. I love those classes because they're usually smaller. That was nice for our first day. The missionaries were teaching about agency which was cool. 

We split for relief society and priesthood and Sammy went with the elders. Man time! Relief society was good, I was introduced to some ladies, even the sister of a family in my old ward. (Sammy met their dad in priesthood and said he is quite the sassy pants. Ok that's my word for it.) It was weird though because there was no one relatively near my age. So trying to talk was, weird. 

After church I couldn't find Sammy. The building was new to me and everyone was clogging the halls. I found the elders who said they'd see me Tuesday night. They then asked if I was looking for my husband. That was weird to hear! They pointed me one direction, but he wasn't there. I headed the other way, he wasn't there. My third round though I found him, planning to work out with some of the men. We were then mobbed by the sister missionaries asking us to feed them. Which we said we'd do because, hey! We have our own place now! We have food, they want food, problem solved! 

It was an exciting first day at church. The best part by far though was when we got home and Sammy made brunch. That boy can cook!

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:)
