Life Lately

We've been pretty busy over here, with midterms and school and work and life. I love spring time though. Here's whats been going on lately.
 Our car had a rough week, a flat tire one day and a cracked windshield the next. While I was sitting waiting for them to repair the tire, Sammy made dinner. Pizza Pasta. It was delicious, and since I was starving one of the best meals ever. 
 We had a huge Apple event at work for faculty and staff only. It was a fun day, a huge party all day. 

Christopher was super huggy that day and wouldn't let Michael walk by without a huge hug. 
 He then bought a Macbook and paid in cash, so I had to take this picture. That was the most money I'd ever held. When I sent this picture to Sammy though, he wasn't impressed. That's what happens when you marry a banker I guess!
 My mom sent me this. I was cutting my sisters hair with a headless gymnastics Barbie. 
With our tax refund, we went shopping! This was my shopping outfit, some awesome leggings from Lula Roe with Jeanette. They are the softest leggings I have ever had and I love them!  
 Sammy got himself a new blue suit for work, and a tan suit, pictured below. They both look amazing and he needs them because... he's going to become a banker! He's doing banker training right now and around May he should be promoted. He was also the only teller in Colorado selected to participate in a leadership program which is a BIG deal. He's really excelling at work and loving what he's doing which is such a relief and makes me so happy! 
 Mike and I were twinning at work one day. He just needs some red shoes. 
 I was wearing this same outfit on the first sunny day at school. I sat outside between classes for a good two hours, and ended up with this sunburn/tan. It looks so funny and I'm trying to get rid of it, to no success. I had to explain to my coworker Philippe why I was sunburned. Being from the Congo, he doesn't have much experience with them ;) 
 Sammy and I went to my friend Sarah's wedding reception. It was the first wedding we'd been to since ours, and we kept reminiscing about our reception. It was so cool to see Sarah on her big day. I've known her since I was seven and grew up with her, and she looked absolutely beautiful. They had a library/book theme which was really neat too. The guest book was a novel.
 Sammy's tan suit. I call it his Obama suit.

He definitely looks better though, especially with the bow tie. I liked my outfit that morning as well so I took a creeper picture. 











We watched the Bachelor together this year and I was rooting for Kaitlyn the whole time while Sammy went back and forth but knew it was going to be Whitney. Sammy also got me addicted to House of Cards. I love nights just snuggling on the couch with him. 

And that's just a glimpse of life lately.

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:)
