Halloween 2018

Halloween is one of our favorite holidays and we were so excited to celebrate it with Aaron. I started googling costume ideas months ago, trying to come up with a family costume idea for us. I kept saying that I needed to make it before Aaron was born because I wouldn't care afterwards. I thought we'd all do Harry Potter, but at the last moment decided Stranger Things would be a lot easier and I'd just dress Aaron up as a box of Eggos. 

I also found this adorable onesie with pumpkin feet. I had earrings to match so I got dressed up to match him. This is Aaron's favorite blowout outfit by the way; whenever he wears it he has one. 
We debated for weeks whether or not we should attend the church trunk or treat and chili cook off. We love to go and needed somewhere to wear our costumes to, but at the same time we wanted to do what was best for Aaron. It was suggested that he stay away from large crowds and we knew everyone would want to hold him, so we decided not to go. Instead we got dressed in our costumes solely to take a picture. Sammy put Aaron in his costume before we left to go to take the picture and Aaron proceeded to have a massive blowout in it. 
You don't want to see what was in the rest of this picture haha!

We improvised and still took pictures with Sammy as Hopper and me as Eleven. 
Our actual Halloween was pretty sucky. Sammy and I went on our first date to urgent care to get me some relief from the panic attacks I'd been having for days. We sat in the waiting room waiting for a prescription when I realized that it was Halloween. We didn't do anything else but sleep. Next year we're going to have a redo and I know it'll be a lot better!

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...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
