actually really embarrassed writing any more posts on this layout, these pictures, the texts, etc. (i could go on & on). but i need to get over it since i don't have time for the next few weeks to really dive in. i have so many ideas, so many fun things to try, and posts that i can't wait to write. my fingers are even shaking as i type this. mainly because i am overwhelmed with inspiration and also because my brain is fried. this class was so much more than i could have imagined it being. i am NOT going to take down my blog and write "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" but trust me, i immediately wanted to do so today. but rather just stay tuned for what's to come..... i will have a full recap of the blogshop as well....... </div><div><br /></div><div>please give me a few weeks to really revamp this

style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s743.photobucket.com/albums/xx71/jenabee4/?action=view&current=meanddaddec2011.jpg"

style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">this was my favorite photo taken during our week trip to new orleans. actually it was my favorite photo in 2011 (snuck it in in the last week). ha. a moment i will never forget, and wanted to share it will you all because you have been on this journey with me for however long or short... i am happy you are here. for me, it was a perfect ending to another year full of trials, tribulations, beautiful memories made, and lots and lots of laughter. there's something special about going to visit my dad at the cemetery in new orleans, then to have my daily moments with him. it just felt right. i got to see him a few times, and am already looking forward to our next trip "home" with him. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">i don't know about you, but i love getting older. it's weird to say, i know. and most likely when i do hit 30 or 40, or 50, heck... i am sure i will want time to stop. but for now, i love living each moment and really taking it all in. the moment above is just one moment in a day. and every second i was there...... i was really. truly. there. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">i have a lot to be thankful for, daily. and yes, i can always go back to the moment that changed my life forever. but i can't change it. so i move forward as best i can. i know i say that often, and will continue to do so..... but this life is just so beautiful. i have received some emails about "staying positive" and how do i do it when life really kicked me, hard. i simply say..... i live the life he would want. do i miss him? of course. every second of every day to be exact. do i wish i could change it. absolutely, i would give anything. but somethings i can't change & how or where do i go from here? i live. i choose to be happy. i choose this life. and that is what keeps me going. do i cry still? you bet. but i cherish even those moments. because i know he is with me and will forever be. that is a hard reality i live with as i get older. i love learning more, seeing more, doing more..... but those moments where i wish i could share it. those are, and will always be hard. but i know he is here. every step of the way. he would be making some silly joke none the less. (don't act like he wouldn't) ;)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">this next year i want to be better. i want to do even more. i want to learn. i want to do things that scare me. i am excited about the future & excited to keep moving forward, and mostly that is because i have all of you along the way. i don't even know who reads this half the time, or if anyone even cares.... but it's my space, and i can't thank you enough for always encouraging me to keep going. and to keep living (cheesy? absolutely).</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">okay.... this year i have made a list (go figure) of all the things i want to do going into the next year. some are silly, some i am really looking forward to, and some i just hope to stick with. i normally don't share all of mine, but rather a few. and yes, i make a list of 10. most years. (it's a lot, i know) but it's my list... so oh well. i explained a few to make more sense...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">in no specific order;</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">1. learn spanish (rosetta stone in my computer & ready to be used!)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">2. learn & master photoshop </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">3. be kind to my body (love it daily) </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">4. blog 5 days a week (this will be more of a fun to-do post blogshop at the end of Jan, so stay tuned!) </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">5. save! save! save! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">6. live in the moment</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">7. simplify, everything. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">8. work on my book (cut out time each day or week for this)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">9. nightly rituals before bedtime (i need to get better at flossing, washing my face, ya know the stuff we all should do)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">10. project 365 (i want to capture a picture a day, i always say i am going to do this.... why not start this year?) </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">what is your resolution or resolutions? </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'times new roman';">to you all who read this, <i>happy everything to you</i>. looking forward to 2012 with you all. big things in store and thanks for taking the journey with me. love you all, dearly.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">much, much love. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img style="width: 88px; height: 61px;" src="http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq48/aprildurham23/JenRxoj.jpg" /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08359631161839141270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576377645652906112.post-34245873152504851752011-12-22T08:41:00.000-08:002011-12-22T08:52:27.633-08:00NAWLINS.<br /><br />We've been in New Orleans for a few days now & we have already done so much & eaten so much!!!

class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">big news. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">i have something really important i wanted to share. it's really big. like big big (i know i am so dramatic, but life would be so boring if i wasn't). so... drum roll please.... </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'courier new';font-size:small;">i am writing a book. well, it's pretty much already written. but over the weekend i had a decision to make with myself, to move forward and keep working towards it, or don't. i am choosing the first. i am choosing happiness. i am choosing to write this book i have always wanted to write. it may be just for me and my family one day, or who knows, maybe it will be published? it doesn't matter as long as i finish it for me. which i will.... one day. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'courier new';font-size:small;">so, here's the story. when my dad died a few years ago, i went back through all my old love letters he had written, all the emails i saved from him, everything. as it turns out... not only did he tell me "life lessons" daily, but he wrote them too! some of the emails even say "life lesson #545234" or what have you. and then give me great advice, or a funny story and with that story what i should get out of it, etc. etc. i have 50 + chapters (or topics if you will) in itself already. i am just SO excited!! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'courier new';font-size:small;">you know when you realize you have a purpose in this world? i mean... obviously, everyone has a purpose in some way, shape, or form. but when you know you were meant to do something? for me, i know it was to write <i>this</i> book. it's been on my bucket list for quite some time. but what better way to capture my father then through his own words and stories? it will make you laugh, it will make you cry... but at the end of the day it will make you be better. do better. it will make you live the life you were destined to live. i am just so happy i can't stand it. the chapters have been flowing out of me and i can't keep up with it all. i am thrilled to have decided to move forward with this "project" of mine. it could take a year, 5 years, 25 years. it doesn't matter. you know why? because there's no rush. i might have questions for you all along the way... and/or ideas to bounce off of you all... but first things first... i think i got my book title down..... </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span"

i love being so busy but i hate that that means i neglect le blog. a part of me really wants to revamp my blog, buy a really nice camera, and really take this hobby of mine to the next level. i've been asked to put sponsors on my blog, but let's be honest... it's not up to par of what i dream this could be. i take a step back and get a slap of reality, and realize i do not have time to do so. i am working on "making time" one day, but today isn't that day. so, for now... it will stay as is! i have so much to share with you all, i hope i don't forget anything!! i love brain dumps and hope you do too!</div><div><br /></div><div>- first things first... i had a life changing moment with a dear friend in September, and let's just say for now, i see things differently. i can't thank you enough dear friend. you know who you are. one day i might share this with you all, but for now i will keep it at that.</div><div><br /></div><div>- i am loving the "simplifying" of life. literally, donating so much stuff i don't need. i am a clutter free gal these days. </div><div><br /></div><div>- i have been obsessed with baking, decorating the house for fall, and crafting. i made my first homemade cake pops this week (red velvet heaven) and so excited to make a batch for my friend's bridal shower this weekend!

line dancing, shooting at the range, sippin' homemade tea on the front porch of my friends ranch. take. me. there. now!</div><div><br /></div><div>- i had my two year anniversary with my job this past week. crazy!! </div><div><br /></div><div>- i love all aspects of social networking. i literally get so much info from twitter these days it's unreal. i don't even need to watch a game because i can get the play by play via twitter. follow me <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><i><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/jenrobin">here</a></i></span> if you don't already!
