Holidays for days

Normally, I don't get too excited for the holiday season until about November but this year everything has changed. Maybe it's because I am extremely excited for these next few months because I get to spend them with the man I love and my wonderful family and friends.  So many great things will be happening!


1) 10/31 >> Halloween.  Not that exciting...but there is lots of candy involved :)

2) 10/21 >> Mine and Arthur's one year anniversary! woooooh hooo!

3) 10/28 >> Arthur's Birthday!! He's not excited about it because he thinks he is old though.... I told my mom this and she laughed and told me to tell him "wait until you are MY age!"  He is SO far from being old and I can't wait to spend his birthday with him :)

4) 10/28 >> Thanksgiving.  It happens to fall on the same day as Arthur's birthday.  Which is ironic because I am SO thankful for him.  God has placed this incredible man in my life and I have been so blessed by his presence in my life.

4.5) 10/29 >>  Black Friday.  SHOPPING!! wooooh! Waking up early and awesome deals for things you wouldn't originally purchase! Booyah!

5) 12/14 >> Some time around this date, classes and finals are finished.  This means two things:  1) More focus on Christmas and I get to sleep in!  2) Only one more term until I am done with school!! 

6)  12/25 >> Christmas.  Of course Christmas day itself is great.  Time with family, exchanging gifts and drinking hot chocolate.  And kisses under the mistletoe :)

7)  12/31 >> New Years Eve.  KISSES.  Parties.  Celebration.  Sparkles.  So many wonderful things about this day. Plus it means a full new year to come of love and laughter and new friends and new opportunities and new experiences. ( and new resolutions that last for about 1 month ;) )

 That's just the most obvious list of things I could think of.  Of course there is no set days for other wonderful things to happen such as random day trips to the beach or the hot springs, possible snow fall, buying gifts upon gifts for friends and family, pumpkin spice lattes, holiday baking, and a million kisses from the most amazing man in the WORLD! :)

 These next few months are going to be so wonderful.  I can't wait to spend them with the people I love.  God has blessed me much more than I deserve and I need to realize that, especially during this holiday season when people might not have loved ones to spend time with or friends to exchange gifts with.  Be nice to everyone you see.  Pay it forward. Spend time with the ones you care about.  Be thankful, always.

 Love,
Jenessa

No words needed.

Names are only so helpful--> but pictures! That's what draws people in.  Could be a memory of a time, or the feeling you get when you picture yourself in that situation.  The power of photography is huge . Pictures can take you back to a moment you had-- one that you could never go back and repeat, and it gives you joy.  Photography can also cause laughter, and quite frequently--embarrassment.  For those pictures, thankfully there is a delete button.  But compare this post to my last one.  Instead of the names of all of the cities and countries to visit on a Eurotrip , try pictures .  See if it entices you more.  These pictures correlate with the list of cities in my previous blogpost... but I will have to split it in half and show you the first fifteen in this post, the last 16 in the next.. :)

Tiffany & Co Bridal Shower

So you've seen my Coral themed bridal shower (For those of you that haven't, you should definitely check it out here ) but as my duties as a maid of honor, I was given the opportunity and privilege to host my cousin's bridal shower.  When I asked her what she wanted as a theme- she knew instantly.  "Breakfast at Tiffany's".  I had no idea how many great ideas I would find on Pinterest under this category, but let me tell you- there was millions!  It was so fun.  We had it this last saturday at the same place I had mine at- so some of the things look pretty similar, just in a different color.  Everyone was asked to wear black which was adorable, and the bride wore a black and white dress so she stood out.  She looked so beautiful.

10 Reasons Why Japan is Wonderful

Japan is a very special, unique little place.  Well- it’s not THAT little. Especially when it holds a population of around 127 million.  But what makes Japan so great?  Because as soon as you step on their soil, you know there is something wonderful about the place.  I’ve compiled a list of interesting characteristics about Japan and its people that have captured my love for this foreign, hello-kitty loving, beautiful place.   CUSTOMER SERVICE.  I haven’t been somewhere that has such great customer service.  They will literally run to get you what you asked for, or run around to try and make sure that the customer is happy.  I once asked about a product in the grocery store and they ran to the back of the store, bagged up what I needed, and ran it back to me in under two minutes. 2.       CUSTOMER SERVICE IN RESTAURANTS The customer service in restaurants is quite different than in the U.S.  Typically, they have a button at the table that you press when you are ready t
