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

That time when Derek and Katie visited Okinawa...

I think I should start off saying I have the coolest brother ever, and due to the fact that he’s marrying Katie, I guess she’s cool by association. JK. She’s great too. What makes them even cooler is that fact that they came and visited our little Japanese island we call home. (Yes, it’s OURS!) After spending a few days in Tokyo, they flew down south to Japan’s “Hawaii”.      I’ll have you know, we checked the forecast the day they were arriving and it said rain for the next 6 days (the length of time they were here for). With lots of prayers, I’m so thankful to say that the weather was amazing the whole time they were here! It was sunny and warm and perfect. Thank you Jesus!   Arthur and I met Derek and Katie at the airport, only to be greeted with what I would picture as the Japanese version of them. They walked off with facemasks on and if it weren’t for their height, I may have mistaken them for true Japanese! ;) (see video below) They were s...

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.
