This weekend

This weekend was crazy! From getting my hair dyed, trying acupuncture, and going to my first Nuggets game, I'm pretty tired. 
I got blonde highlights on Friday. It was a really fun experience. I went to the Aveda hair institute because I thought it'd be a lot cheaper but it wasn't since my hair is so thick so they had to use extra dye. Oh well, it was worth it. I got a hand massage, head massage, hot towel, peppermint oil rubbed on my temples. It was amazing! 
On my way to get my hair done though, I forgot my wallet so I had to go back home. Oh boy. 

It took a lot longer to get my hair done though than I thought and I had an appointment for acupuncture so I was running late for that. I was able to keep my appointment though. Acupuncture was weird. I was trying it to see how it helped with anxiety. First I was asked about everything in my life. Then the needles went in. The ones that went in my feet hurt going in along with the one in my hands. The other ones didn't hurt at all, including the needle in my forehead. 
Then I was asked to just lay there and relax. I was relaxing until I moved one of my fingers. The needle in my forearm was sitting between two bones in a muscle that was connected to my hand so every little movement hurt so bad. Which wasn't the most relaxing. 
Afterwards though, I felt relaxed. My head was stressed about other things but my body was relaxed. It only lasted until the nuggets game though. 
I was stressed the first half of the game. Lots of people, new place, and the pressure of trying to stay calm were not fun. Plus I was irrationally angry at everything. Why do they have to boo when the other team is shooting? Why did he push him?! 
I was excited to see Lebron James play. It was beautiful watching him play! That man owns basketball. 
An older lady reprimanded Sammy for yelling about her favorite player. It was weird and hilarious at the same time. 
And on Saturday I had my first virgin piña colada at a restraunt. I felt like such a big girl. Sammy's mom had a real one. And Michael has the best face in the background. 

Then Sunday we had our first temple prep class! We're getting closer!

    Nope, the needles wouldn't help with my anxiety, it would just make it worse.

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:)
