Memorial Day Weekend

Since we aren't going on any more trips this year, Sammy took the Friday before memorial day off so we could have a four day weekend as a family. On Friday we celebrated my sister's birthday and had delicious homemade Costco cake. It was so good!
We went on lots of walks together as a family. 
On Saturday Sammy helped his parents move. 
On Monday we went to a ward pancake breakfast which was delicious but super, super cold. Then we waited for Aaron to take a nap so we could go to a food truck festival. Whenever we're going to wait for Aaron to nap to do something, he decides it's the perfect day to sleep extra long. When we finally got to the festival there were two food trucks. One had $17 mac and cheese and the other had gyros, a food that made me so sick when I was pregnant. So we walked around town trying to find somewhere else to eat instead and couldn't find anything that was fast casual except a hot dog stand. So we drove all that way to have overpriced hotdogs. We went to the mall to try and get some Thai ice cream, but when that didn't work out I just got an ice cream cone. Aaron grabbed a bite of it and then threw it up an hour later. It was really gross, but I feel like that's just Heavenly Father slowly getting me ready to deal with more pukiness from him in the future. 
We watched NCIS together on the couch while Aaron napped and it was just a great weekend as a family. 

I'd be remiss not to mention how grateful I am for all the servicemen and women who have given their lives so that I can enjoy my freedom. My heart is with their families and loved ones who grieve for them.

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...
