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:)

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

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...
