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.. :)

Typhoons, Tokyo, and Taylor Swift

We just went into TCCOR 1 ( T ropical C yclone C onditions o f R eadiness), which means destructive sustained winds of 50 knots or greater are expected within 12 hours... kind of scary,  but more so kind of exciting!  This will be our first typhoon that we are going through and as of now, I'm excited!  We've downloaded movies, have lots of snacks and water ready, and I get to spend time with the hubster... what more could I want?! ....  I wrote that last night. and now it's 7:30AM.  Nothing big happened last night, just kind of windy but nothing crazy.  SOOO Arthur and I both got ready for work this morning and just as I finished getting ready and was walking downstairs to my car, Arthur yelled for me to come back up.  We went into TCCOR 1C (Caution) which means no work for the two of us as of now!  YAY!!!

Another year older, another year wiser...

I once saw a quote that said “Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.”   It’s kind of crazy to think about that.   A little scary too!   Life is moving quickly and I am the youngest I will ever be again. (Physically, maybe not mentally J ).   I’m not saying that getting older is a bad thing, because with age comes even more blessings every day, I just find it interesting to think that I’m another year older and supposedly another year wiser. Each year I get older means that there will be another year full of surprises, challenges, heartache, love, joy, and knowledge.  I think I get excited about that.  The part that makes me sad about getting older each year is that life has really started to move quickly.  I’ve already been married for almost 11 months- which is crazy because I feel like I just started wedding planning. I’ve already graduated college- something else that blows my mind because I feel like I jus...
