Five Year Anniversary

Sammy and I celebrated our five year anniversary. It's funny because we always talked about the big trips that we might go on for that anniversary and a few years ago we'd settled on New York. But that just wasn't in the cards for us now that we're at five years. Finances, ability to travel, wanting to travel, and so many things were in the way. And that's okay!

I'm not going to lie and say that I don't feel a little twinge of jealousy looking at people traveling all over to celebrate one year of marriage, or even six months. But I'm perfectly happy with how we spent our five year anniversary.

Sammy took the day off to spend with us. Originally we'd wanted to drive up to the mountain town we spent our honeymoon in and walk around. But Aaron woke up late, Sammy's car needed an oil change, I needed to pick up some medicine from a far away pharmacy that I was scared to go to, I needed to water a tree.
I always provide proof of life when taking care of things. Please note my newspaper.
 So, we went on a long walk in the morning, took care of all those errands, and I did some writing while Aaron took a nap next to Sammy while he played his favorite video game. We kept making plans while he slept and decided we were going to get burritos and then go on a picnic at a nearby park. But then it started raining so that was off the table. 
Instead we ended up at Taco John's a new place we discovered that is a level better than Taco Bell. Then we drove by a new mall and decided to walk around. We had a lot of fun together. We went into the Croc store and looked at which ones we wanted to buy Aaron one day. 

We ended up in a toy store and left with toys for Sammy and I, but none for Aaron. We just couldn't find him anything unique, but I found Disney puzzles for a steal, and Sammy got some surprised bobble heads and ended up with Thor and Venom.

Aaron got hungry so we ended up feeding him outside and just sitting together. 
On Saturday we went on a date to Boondocks and went bowling and played a bunch of arcade games. We went to lunch beforehand and I was feeling really anxious and Sammy really listened to me and we had a really great conversation that I really appreciated. 
Before we bowled I told Sammy I would get 80 and he would get 60. I ended up getting 81 and he got 59. Do I know us or do I know us?

We got Aaron this dragon with our tickets and I was so excited to give it to him. He didn't really care for it though. One day!
Once we had Aaron we went to get some fro yo since that's where we went on our first date and this five year anniversary wouldn't be possible without froyo. It was a great weekend together and I'm so grateful to have Sammy. This year has been so hard. Our relationship has changed so much and we as people have changed, and so many circumstances have changed. We've had to be much more intentional with each other and our time and have been learning a lot. I'm so, so grateful that I get to do this all with Sammy though.

We also discovered that Aaron's hair is long enough to fit in a ponytail that weekend haha!

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...
