Christmas

This year was our first Christmas as a married couple, and first together in two years so I was really excited! We were so busy going into Christmas, it didn't feel like Christmas for a bit. But then we watched Elf together which was so fun! Sammy had never seen it before and I was nervous he wouldn't like it but he did. He was quoting it for days. 

For Christmas Eve we went to Sammy's parents house. We had tamales and watched a Christmas story. It was my first time seeing that movie and I loved it! Which was a relief since that's Sammy's favorite Christmas movie. We also watched Jingle All the Way. Oh boy that was cheesy! 

On Christmas Day we'd planned on getting up at seven, but we slept in until nine. We made it over to my parents about ten. Sammy brought his own Sunny D with him because he needed orange juice with breakfast. 
We had egg mcmuffins and potatoes for breakfast. It was such a fun time with family. We kids played Shindig machine which was hilarious. Then we watched the nine lives of Christmas, a cheesy Christmas movie I actually liked. Then we watched Xmen days of future past which was fun. I loved watching it with my dad because we watched all the originals together. 

The day isn't about the gifts, but I felt so loved at how much thought was put into everything given to us. That really meant a lot. It was so funny, my brother kept asking us over and over if we got a blender when we were married, so he got us one for Christmas. My sister got an  id holder for my bus pass, and my parents got us things we needed like a flashlight, thermometer, and blanket. And frankenberry:) and even though she thought it was super boring, my grandma gave us gift cards to the bookstore. And lucky two dollar bills. Michael remembered a shirt I'd liked at work and gave that to me which was sweet.

Sammy was sweet and got me a beautiful necklace. I got him a hoody, and socks for days. Every morning I would give him a new pair which was so much fun! I loved spoiling him. 

Then the rest of the day was talking and snuggling. 
We ended the night reading the Christmas story in the bible and Book of Mormon. It was a great day full of love:)

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:)
