The Best Fourth Ever

This past Fourth of July was honestly the best one that I've had. It was such a great day. Sammy came home from Chicago the day before, and I was so glad to see him. We got to spend the morning snuggling, which was amazing. We went to the grocery store real quick and it was actually a good trip. Usually when we go to the grocery store we fight over silly things and I get a headache for unknown reasons. This time it was rather enjoyable. 

As soon as we got home and got the cold items in the fridge, we went swimming! Sammy and I haven't been swimming together in years. Years! It's almost disgusting. We've been at these apartments for two years and have never gone in the pool together. When we got to the pool, no one was there. The water was fantastic, and we had fun trying to remember all the different swim strokes. It's fun being weightless in the pool because we were able to give each other piggy back rides and carry each other bridal style, and just be goof balls. Then, we read our respective books poolside. There's seriously no better place to read a book than right next to the pool while the hot sun dries you off. 

After pool time, we finally showered and then went to lunch at Freddy's. Sammy had promised me that we could eat there a week in advance, and I'd really been looking forward to it. I love their fries and fry sauce, along with their burgers and ice cream:) 

After stuffing ourselves, we went home and watched Zootopia. That's now on my top favorite Disney Movies list. It's SO good. I thought I wasn't going to like it, but I loved it. I put off watching it for so long, but am glad we saved it for this perfect day. I love the messages about racism and xenophobia, but it's also hilarious and fun. There were so many easter eggs to other movies, and even one to Breaking Bad. Such a fun movie! 

It was after watching the movie that my sunburn began to appear. 
I honestly have no idea why this is how my arm turned out. 
After the movie, we took a little nap, I wrote for a bit, and then we met up with some friends for ice cream. We then headed over to the rec center to watch fireworks with them. The problem is that the rec center they wanted to go to is one of the busiest in the area because they have divers  that come down with the flag. I've never been to their fireworks show because we could see the fireworks from our backyard. But they wanted to go, so we decided to give it a try. 

When we got there though, we couldn't find out friends and couldn't get in contact with them. There were so many people, so we just picked a spot and decided to stay there. 
After awhile it looked like it was going to rain, people were setting off their own fireworks all around us, and honestly, we both don't care about seeing the show. I can't describe the amount of love I felt when Sammy leaned over and asked if we could leave. I'd been thinking the same thing. We saw all the different fireworks shows from the safety of our car on the way home. 

It was the best Fourth I've ever had, and I honestly don't think next year will be able to top it.

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:)
