no one tells you that part

okay so i have exactly 38 days left here (my stomach just dropped typing that.. i thought it was more). and coming out here i had SO MANY people telling me how much fun i would have and how much i would learn and how much i would love the city and that being a nanny is such a great experience.

but no one tells you the part about how hard it is to leave. on monday when i was out to lunch with my mom, we started talking about it and it started bawling. and i didn't really stop crying. then when i walked into the house and went in to say goodnight to that sweet little boy and he looks up at me and smiles and says "i missed you mia!" and i lost it again.

no one tells you how attached you get to the kids.
no one tells you how attached you get to your new home
or the runs on the beach
or late night Mel's runs
or the friends you make who will return to their own homes in other states
or the trips you make downtown by yourself
or your uncle who you wished you had spent more time with

i live in one of the biggest cities in america, people travel the world to visit where i LIVE and i feel like i don't have enough time. like i still have things i need to do before i leave. but i think no matter how long i stay here, it will never be enough time.

but leaving the city isn't even the hard part. every time that little boy tells me he loves me or when that little girl runs up to me and hugs me or when the other little boy tries and fails to scare me, my heart just breaks knowing that i'm just going to leave them. i cannot believe how much i love these kids. i didn't know that i was capable of loving other human beings the way i love these kids.

things that i love


email conversations with my 11 year old brother
('bazabadaba' translation: a made up term my family uses in a moment of excitement.)


this commercial. 
am i the only one who laughs like a maniac every time it comes on?


the tan i got in palm springs this last week
(so superficial, i know. but i'm over it)


the fact that there are rumors of wicked being made into a movie
and ya'll know how i feel about wicked.


countdowns for any and every occasion


when 2 year old insists on holding my hand in the car
('cuddle, mimi, cuddle!' ah, i can't resist him)


the city in which i live


the shooting star episode of glee.  i've heard that there was controversy over the episode but i found it powerful and emotional and i loved it.
and i'm not even ashamed to admit i cried while watching it.

mi part 2

you may remember this post about baby boy calling me 'mi' (still melts my heart) well recently, he tried out calling 'mia' and i said "no! you call me mimi" and he said "no, mia!" sad face.

luckily, he only does it when he gets bored cause he knows that i don't like it and that i freak out every time he says it, he thinks it's pretty funny. when he's actually trying to get my attention, it's still mi. or mimi. i'll take either.

i dread the day that i am known just as 'mia' to that little boy.

late night ramblings

i just bought my ticket home and i'm super excited
i do everything there is to take good care of my hair, and it still refuses to grow
i love when my dad sends me random texts:)
i'm super excited to be on my ward's fhe committee
i need some PLL back in my life
i can't wait to go to palm springs for thanksgiving
the 16th needs to come quicker
i need to find something better to do with my time than watch netflix. maybe i'll get started on my book
i'm so angry that the zipper on my brand new skirt broke
i love being a nanny
but sometimes i feel silly when the girl i'm talking to is telling me about how she's a scientist for the university working on curing cancer with stem cells and i'm just like... "baby boy bit me today"
i find myself wanting to #hashtag everything i say/type
i tweet WAY too much
i also instagram WAY too much
but i just like sharing my life with/ bragging to everyone!
pushing daisies is seriously the cutest show ever made. it shouldn't have been cancelled. a little piece of me died the day it did
i have found that once i start eating pumpkin seeds. it never stops.
i want more lipstick
i was reading in 1 nephi and i came across chapter 16 verse 32 and i found myself really being able to relate to laman and lemuel. it says "and now when they beheld that i had obtained food, how great was their joy!" because that's how i feel every time my nanny mama goes grocery shopping
pinterest is one of life's greater inventions
i need to stop staying up late for no reason whatsoever.
but i just like the night time (i get it from my mama)
last night, i had a dream that my parents got me a smart car and my dog was really ugly.

okay. i'm done.

Mi

that's what baby boy calls me. as in mi-a. today, i was up in my room and baby boy was down with his grandma and aunt. suddenly, i hear him start crying. then he starts yelling "mi! no, mi! mi!" so, hearing my name i run downstairs and he's got these big crocodile tears streaming down his chubby little cheeks and he points at me and says "mi!" and his grandma says, "we were playing and he bonked his face on the corner. he doesn't want anything to do with any of us he just keeps saying your name" so i pick him up and he immediately gives me the biggest snuggle then points to the little scrape on his chin. aww. he just wanted me to comfort him! things like this make me love my job even more than i already do!

and sorry bryan, this little boy has stolen my heart! ;)
