Crazy Socks & Writer's Block

When I wrote about The Fault in Our Stars, I included Sammy's commentary on the trailers. He recently read my blog and told me that I forgot something. When we saw the trailer for the movie "When the Game Stands Tall" I said that Sammy said that my favorite guy from Person of Interest was on it. But Sammy also said and I quote, "That movie will make me cry." Mr. Reese without the suit. I couldn't believe I forgot he said that! He said it over and over as the trailer played. I guess there's just something about football movies that gets to him. So, I asked Sammy what other movies make him cry. The other two were  And I understood Remember the Titans. That's a pretty great movie filled with so much emotion, and it's also a football movie. But Lord of the Rings? That took some explaining.  See, what makes Sammy cry about Lord of the Rings is Sam and Frodo and their bromance. The scene in the final movie where Frodo has given up b...

I've realized there's no way I'm going to reach my goal of 47 books by the end of the summer. So that goal is being pushed until the end of the year. If I could reach the halfway point, I'd be happy. Here's what I've finished recently! This book was creepy, and sexy, and awesome! It's also very long, about 500 pages. I read the first book, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer two years ago so it took me a bit to get back into this one and remember everything that happened. Once I got into the groove, I couldn't put the book down. The plot is so complicated I'm not even going to attempt to sum it up. I sped through this book thinking the third book was already out but it doesn't come out until November. The book ends on a pretty crazy cliffhanger, so if you hate waiting, I'd wait to start this book until a bit closer to November. This book is amazing! It's about the mortal daughter of immortal Egyptian gods. I learned a whole lot about Eg...

On Tuesday I took the day off of work because I thought I was having an allergic reaction or weird virus and possibly dying, but it turns out it was just really bad acne. Pretty embarrassing. So, I spent the rest of the day with my mom and brother. They were kind enough to come with me to the Social Security Office so that I could officially change my name. So sweet. It was so nice not having to be there alone because there were some, interesting people there. We waited about an hour and then it was done! Next, we went to Voodoo Donuts! My mom said it's on her summer bucket list and I've been wanting to go there for awhile. I originally saw them on this episode of Leverage where my favorite character is eating the fruit loop donut, so I needed one. Good things come in pink boxes. I felt like a little kid sitting in the backseat. My brother called shotgun. That donut was so sweet that it physically hurt to eat it the last few bites, and I have a very big sweet tooth. ...

On Sunday, we got to dog sit Misty! It was so much fun! I've missed her since I've moved so getting to play with her all day was great. It definitely didn't help with my wanting of our own puppy though. First, she came over to our apartment to play. It was so cute watching her explore. She followed Sammy around everywhere.  Helping him make lunch  AFter lunch, we'd been planning on going to Sammy's parents house, so we brought Misty along. She had fun exploring there as well but I was on edge the whole time, trying to make sure she didn't have an accident somewhere. I didn't want the inlays mad at me. She wanted to help Sammy's mom in the kitchen but she was a bit weirded out by that. Especially since Misty loved licking her stove. Friends, clean your stoves if Misty is around. We spent most of the afternoon outside since she sheds a bit and that was the best place. She met the neighbors while out there. She barked a lot. She also barked at...

Primary teachers! Sammy and I are teaching the seven year olds at church now. I was really upset about it, but after seeing our class and seeing how well behaved they are, and seeing how excited Sammy is to teach, I know it's going to be ok.  He's such a cutie, he's already read through the lesson:)  Brother and Sister Gomez in the house!  These pictures are completely unrelated but I liked them. 

At work, we're allowed to wear school clothes on Thursdays. We recently had a meeting about following school rules more closely and only wearing shirts from the three schools on campus. I have two school spirit shirts. One just says CU on it and says Buffalos, the mascot of CU Boulder NOT CU Denver. Ever since we've gotten a mascot, the CU buffalo shirts are not kosher. Wanting to follow the rules exactly, and to get a laugh, I did some editing.  Sammy's gotten me into soccer, well kind of. I've been watching it, which I wouldn't be doing without him. So, I tried this. It didn't work. This isn't technically me, but it's funny. We've got a jedi in the house. :)  I made this awesome apple cake. Actually, I just dumped a can of apples into cake mix and that was it. But it was SO good. Sammy loved it. I loved it too. Sammy doesn't eat sweets as quickly as I do, and well, I might have finished this cake by myself. I sent this to Sammy to i...

I've been really happy. I love being married. Yeah, there are those random moments where I feel down but for the majority of the time, I'm happy. I'm taking in the little things, the little moments and want to remember them. I love Sundays. I love spending the whole day with Sammy. I love being renewed for the next week and feeling Sammy's arm around me while we grow. I love the brunches Sammy makes afterwards. They're so amazing and it's nice to have a break from cooking. I love having bad dreams then waking up and realizing that Sammy's right there. We'e married, and we're together. I love laying in bed and talking every night. I love curling up and watching the news in the mornings. I love that moment when Sammy finally comes home and I get to hug him again. I love all the compliments Sammy gives me, especially on my cooking. I love that we get to do what we want to do when we want to. On the fourth of July we went on an adventure to...
