Last Day

Sammy got a new job! It's closer to home, he's doing something he's excited about, it has double the vacation time and sick time, and many other benefits. It sort of just fell into his lap and seemed a little  too good to be true. At times I was scared that something was going to fall through and we'd be left with nothing. But so far, so good. I'm so incredibly grateful for it. He's home ten hours more a week, he's so nearby, and a lot happier. I'm so proud of him and thankful that he's such a good provider. I was so, so scared to quit my job and have us live on one income. That first month we had no room in our budget for food. Thankfully we had a lot of food storage, and I did some smart shopping, and that was only one month. 

On Sammy's last day at his old job, Aaron and I came to stop by. When we walked up the stairs onto his floor, he was quickly swarmed with fifteen girls all wanting to look at him. They just swooped out of nowhere. I had no idea he worked with so many people. Aaron did great, looking around at everyone and not crying. 

He had the cutest outfit on if I do say so myself. 
 It was so nice to see all of Sammy's coworkers. They were so supportive and awesome when Aaron was born. When I needed Sammy to take me to urgent care, they were okay with that. They didn't bat an eye when we had to stay in the hospital. It was so nice to not have to worry about Sammy's work while going through all of that.

After everyone held Aaron we went into Sammy's break room for a moment. Aaron was distracted by the tv, watching Guy Fieri.
After lunch we headed home and then Sammy joined us, making his last of the hour long commutes. We're so happy :)

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...
