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 :)

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:)
