Mukubi Wedding

Thankfully I had work off and I was able to go to my friend Philippe's wedding with Sammy and Michael. Philippe's been such a great friend to me so I wanted to be there for his special day! 
We had to take pictures in the backyard since we were looking so nice!

The wedding was in the city park next to the lake and was absolutely beautiful. I don't have any pictures from the ceremony since there was a sign nicely asking us to not take pictures, and I'm a rule follower. There were so many cute aspects though, and the day was absolutely perfect. As the bridesmaids were walking down with their perfectly done hair and flowers, and all these cute things, I whispered to Sammy asking if we could re-do our wedding. Seeing other people's weddings after ours, there's so many things I wish we could have done differently, or I would like to add. He said no, because our wedding day was absolutely perfect. 

I about swooned. I love that boy so much:)
Philippe and Jennifer were very emotional during the ceremony and you could tell how much they loved each other. There were a lot of tissues going around for them to get through the ceremony which was adorable. 

Then there was the reception, which was also gorgeous. We got to try African food, and it was pretty good! It was fun to hear all of the toasts from people talking about how Philippe and Jennifer met, and to just hear more about them then I learned working with Philippe. It was a little cold in the reception and Sammy gave me his jacket which was nice:)

 It was nice seeing all of Philippe's friends as well and their families. Almost everyone there was a mixed couple, with the most adorable kids. It's a fact that mixed babies are the cutest, and I can't wait to see our future children one day. It always blows my mind though to think that not even fifty years ago, marrying someone outside your race was illegal. It's nice to see progress in this world. 
The dancing was interesting. We didn't dance, but everyone else did and it was fun to watch. We caught up with Philippe and Jennifer, and Jennifer totally remembered me even though we've only met once before, which I appreciated. I'm so happy for these two, and wish them so much happiness!

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:)
