Siblings

I love my siblings. Now I have three which is pretty exciting!
These two came over the other night and just hung out and I absolutely loved it! I made them dinner and introduced them to the awesomeness that is Parks and Rec. I felt so grown up and cool that they wanted to come over and hang out with me at my apartment. It was the best. They have some pretty funny stories considering my family is moving and they're getting everything ready to sell the house. 

It's so bizarre, I just moved out and now my family is moving. Brinley is going down to Colorado Springs for college and Tanner is going to high school. What's going on here?!  How are we going to hang out and keep up?! Thank goodness Brinley just got a blog :)

I love Sundays just talking with them too. They argue over who's going to talk and have so many stories. Tanner reminds me so much of myself when I was his age, which is probably why he drives me nuts sometimes but I still love him. And Brinley has such a personality and a voice and I love her look on the world, it's so unique and funny and it's so great to see her so alive.

Now, for my brother in law. 
I love this picture of us. He just let me touch his mustache. He puts up with my weirdness and is weird himself around me. Just the other night at dinner, he told me that his legs were numb from sitting on the toilet too long. I couldn't stop laughing all dinner even though everyone else disapproved of his comment. I kept remembering it and giggling. 

We've had some weird encounters now that we're officially siblings. One day I was at work and started getting frantic phone calls from him and all his family because when I was given Sammy's spare key to his car, I was actually given Michael's spare key. Turns out Michael needed it because his car was locked and the engine was still running. How this happened, he still won't tell me. Anyways, I'm down in Denver with no car at work and he needs the spare key that I have. So his dad had to drive down, grab the key from me, then drive all the way back to unlock the car. Fun times!

This Sunday, I got to go to the ER with him. He was having back pain so bad he was screaming in pain and couldn't breathe. It shook me up, he's my brother and I'd never seen someone in that much pain. I waited outside with Sammy and let the paramedics in, then we went to the hospital and I waited and waited. They let me in his room for a little bit when he was drugged up which was weird. He told me that he didn't like the tubes of oxygen in his nose, to which I said, "Hey! You look like Hazel!" That made him upset because, well, Hazel is technically dying. I wanted to argue that hey, she lives and Gus dies and he didn't have an oxygen tank so really anyone could die, but I decided that that wasn't the time and went back to the waiting room. 

He's ok now and I'm so glad! I love my siblings. They crack me up :) I just realized that one day, I'll get two more in law siblings and I'm so excited! They better be cool.

    I love having a new brother (in law)! It's like having a big brother who has advice, except you didn't have to grow up with him because brothers are annoying I would assume.

    Ooohhh... you know, I was kinda thinking that would make sense for how TFIOS ends. Just because everyone tells me it's so sad and that seemed like it would be the twist to have.

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:)
