House Guest

My best friend from middle school and high school, Kelsey, stayed with Sammy and I for a week. It was our first time having a house guest, and it went pretty well! We were all doing our own things most of the day so we weren't together that long. It was nice having someone to eat our food because I always make too much. I also had an excuse to buy ice cream because I wouldn't be the only one eating it :) 

Gerald the fish was happy to see his mommy. His bubble nest was huge! We've never see it this big, and it went upwards as well. 
It was weird having someone else living with us, in that we had to be more aware. We couldn't just walk around without our pants anymore. We had to close the bathroom door. We closed our door at night, making it extremely stuffy. (I had one of the worst panic attacks that I've had in awhile because of the heat, and just being exhausted from going out, and the fact that I'd just been so stressed about whether I might have one or not. I sat in the bathroom for two hours in the middle of the night. Not fun.) 

It was fun getting to catch up and just having someone to vent to with that last few weeks of school stress.
 
Plus, Kelsey taught me how to make fried rice.
 
It was weird spending that much time with Kelsey though. We haven't spent that much time together since high school. So naturally, we talked about high school quite a bit, along with where we are now.
It was just weird having my high school self coming into contact with my self now. I've changed so much, and I'm so thankful for that. I didn't like my high school self. She was so insecure, and selfish. She wasn't comfortable telling people about her dreams. Now here I am, going after them. I'm very spiritual, and completely comfortable with myself. The people I keep close to me uplift me, and I hope I uplift them. I don't pretend to like things I don't. I'm a wife, and look forward to starting a family one day. I'm so proud of me now. Kelsey has changed a lot as well, and I'm happy for her. She's going to Taiwan to teach, and seems happy. 

I'm glad that we got to spend a week together before she goes on her next adventure.

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:)
