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!

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:)
