It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

So it's that time of year where Black Friday is coming, Thanksgiving is upon us and that means my birthday is also coming up :-)

Where on earth did this year go? I still remember vividly my 21st bday and being sick and wanting to have a party but no one came and I wouldn't be much fun anyways. But then Logan made his apartment into a "club" for me and we bought some alcohol and made one drink which was good but... didn't even finish them. lol. Shows how much I care about alcohol I guess. But really I'm going to be 22? That's my lucky number and favorite number so hopefully that means good things! And now some people are asking what I want for my birthday and Christmas and honestly ... I haven't been out and about to even see what I want! lol I would much prefer gift cards (especially to Sears) so that I can actually have the pleasure of shopping! I miss it. Oh well. I don't really need anything I just want to see everyone, eat some good homemade food and play some games!

On a positive note we found out what is wrong with Logan. Apparently he has 2 pieces of bone that had broken off and just kinda slide around near his knee cap and that's why sometimes he can walk and sometimes he can't. That's really gross but apparently very easy to fix with surgery (yeah surgery yuck) but it's a small incision that they make on the side of his knee and they basically suck those pieces out and he can walk on it the next day. Sounds positive! Let's pray it all works out.

Oh and I redid the Christmas tree he got me since my last picture because it looked a little charlie brown ish lol.




Hope everyone has a blessed Holiday!

Love you all and God bless!

Getting to be that time of year

So why is it that whenever the sun goes away all heck breaks loose? Seriously whenever fall and winter get here stress happens. But it's okay. I get way too excited for Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas(s) and of course New Years.

For one thing Logan has been having an issue with his knee for over a week now and last Friday it got so bad that it was swollen to the size of a grapefruit. We elevated it and put ice on it and made him rest which by the way is very difficult to do with someone who always wants to be doing something! Then we finally went to the Dr on Monday where he had to get an X-ray and blood work done. The Dr said the blood work was to test for gout, lupus... and all sorts of things that I knew darn well are NOT good if they come back positive. So I'm praying that the meds he was given work to reduce the swelling enough so that he can walk without pain and the xray will give the Dr a clue to whats going on. Really don't want surgery. That will not go over well.

So we've been keeping positive and watching movies and trying to keep occupied while doing the whole ice and elevation routine. I have a HUGE respect for mothers who are required to do this for their kids. I was helping voluntarily so I could've left any moment I wanted to I didn't but still it would be a different feeling if I were "locked" in that apartment.

I did get to visit with Grandma and Grandpa one day last week and Mom, Dad and Jessie on Sunday. I love my family. Grandma and Grandpa mom and I met at Bob Evans after I got off work and yay for warm cooked food that I didn't make! lol. I got to learn about how people in our family planned their weddings and such. Don't ask how we got on that subject I have no idea lol. Then with Mom and Dad and Jessie we got to eat lunch together which was delicious! It seems that after I moved out Mom decided to learn alot of new recipes because almost every time I go home it's something new! We all watched Transformers 2 together which was fun. I miss doing that as a family. Dad talking about the graphics, Jessie's butt ringing off the hook but telling everyone to shush because she's trying to hear and mom getting bombarded with Lilly needing attention. :-)

So I have yet to get a Christmas tree for my apartment which is sad. This year I have been especially craving one. Yes craving is the right word. I don't know if I'm "nesting" or something but I really want to do Christmas decorations and all that fun stuff. It doesn't help that at work the new way to entice customers is to make our store look as festive as possible so I've been wrapping fake presents and all that.

But guess what? I came home today from work and found a Christmas tree, ornaments and lights from Logan waiting for me! Oh my gosh definitely cried and danced and ripped open everything to put it together! I am now happily listening to Christmas music on Pandora and decorating. Couldn't be happier except if it were closer to Christmas ... or at least my birthday ;-)

Well that's my update for everyone. I hope the beginning of the holiday season is going well for everyone!

I love you all and God Bless!

Some updates

After my friends wedding some of my old friends from high school and our boys went to Cheddar's which is by the way an amazing restaurant and we ordered margaritas :-) Don't worry we didn't drive!
Logan and I at the reception
The look out of the harbor at the business conference we went to in DC.
The hotel we stayed at was beautiful!!
The inside was like a mini city! Gorgeous!

So I haven't posted some new pictures in awhile so I thought I'd update you all!!!

Hope everything is going well and God bless!

Fall forward!

So I can always tell when it's the end of the summer because my allergies go crazy!!! Sniffling and sneezing every 20 minutes is no fun! Luckily I've found some stuff to help reduce the frequency of my sneezing fits.

So most of my friends have gone back to school and are stressed like heck trying to get back into the swing of things like studying, waking up for classes and getting pencil smudges all over their hand from notes. (maybe that's just us lefty's that have to worry about that ha ha)

And then there's me! No school just full time work at you all know where and building Logan and my business! That is definitely keeping us busy! We have so many people in our business team getting things going and having fun it's just been amazing! We've made lot's of new friends which is nice since Logan and I are kinda alone here in good ole Ft Wayne. I'm most excited about our goals we've been setting for our next business conference in October and our very big goal in January!! Oh of you want to know more you can call and ask :-).

Anyways hope everyone is having a lovely end of summer/beginning of fall! If anyone wants to support Logan and I let me know and I'll give you the information.

Love you all!

God bless

On a side note there are some stray kittens and cats around my apartment complex!!! I've saved 3 kittens and sent them to the shelter so here's a pic :-)

June and wedding fever

Oh it's that time of year! Where everyone and their mom decide to get married lol. But this year I have the busiest July/August possible. Okay so July 17-19 Logan and I will be in Washington DC for a business conference. July 25th is my friend from high schools wedding where I am hopefully doing the makeup for the bridal party-ps I love doing that :-). Then on August 1st a couple from work is getting married and again I am doing the makeup.

Poor Logan has to go with me to all of those too. Here's the issue though... I have never been to a wedding (in the past few years) where I wasn't in the wedding party. What on earth do I wear?? I only really have my old bridesmaid dresses which i think would be a bit much, my old showchoir dresses which obviosly wont be appropriate lol, and black dresses. Is it gothic or rude to wear black to a wedding? It's like mourning isn't it? Argh. I really don't feel like buying a new dress... simply because fort wayne stores dont have the best shopping selection lol.

In other news I am apartment hunting again. Oh that's another thing! My lease is up at the end of July too ... as if I didn't have enough to do at the end of the month! But I'm kind of unhappy with the no washer dryer and no dishwasher situation. So I'm on the hunt! too bad since last year prices at most places is up $100. Ouch.

Logan and I are also very busy with our business which is great! People seem to be definetly on the look out for a better life which means we have something in common! Yay! And I love actually having something to do with my day besides just "chill" with people. I like making a difference :-)

Well I'll end with some pics from last year... here goes another crazy summer!

The lovely bridal party (aka all my high school friends) for Shelly and Jared's wedding

Logan and I actually dancing at the wedding-had to drag him lol

Off to Pennsylvania!

I am packing my suitcase and heading off to PA for a business conference with Logan and I'm soooo excited! I'm also fixing up my apartment and wondering if I might move. My lease is up in July and although I like this apartment complex there are a few drawbacks plus I would love a change. Maybe a place with a dishwasher!!! lol Well I know this is short but I must give Flopsy a bath and get Sly's cage clean so when Mom and Jessie take care of them this weekend they won't stink up their house!

~Jenny

Update!

Okay so life has been crazy and I would love to put up pictures of all that has happened but one of the things is my computer is on the fritz as far as inputs go lol.

Okay gunna make this short and sweet ready, set, GO!

First things first

New years was great I was sooo happy to see my family all together :-) I really wish we could do that more often.

New semester in school is driving me crazy with full time hours at work plus full school schedule and doing the business with Logan.

Speaking of Logan! Our 2 year was on Feb 18th and for Valentines day and I thought our and he gave me a terrarium and a tree frog!!!! I was soo excited but embarrassed because we promised not to get each other anything ... I did get him a dragon ball z season that he wanted though (if you don't know what that is be thankful lol). Then on our 2 year we went to dinner at Biaggis and it was amazing! First of all we have never been to a nice restaurant so that was fun to get dressed up and "go out on the town". We also ordered wine because we wanted to toast and I had heard that their house wine was amazing. And for our toasting Logan asked me to say whatever I wanted to say about our relationship/feelings because "what he said was guna top mine anyways". So I said I was really happy we were doing so well lately and that I couldn't imagine anyone else who I could put up with for 2 years and who could also put up with me lol (yup that's me not able to have any romantic moment without making a joke of some sort). Then he said (this is me paraphrasing because it was too sweet for me to even write it out verbatim lol) "I love you and I want you to know that I'm not going anywhere. I know it's hard for you to trust without any proof so (places a small jewelry box on the table) I wanted to show you that I do want to plan a future with you and I want everyone to know that you're taken by someone who cares for you deeply. "

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH. Don't worry it wasn't an engagement ring it was a beautiful promise ring!!! It is white gold with three diamonds and they're kinda sunk in so "I don't have to worry about hurting it at work when I'm getting down TVs" lol And Logan and his mom picked it out a month before our anniversary and Jessie and my mom knew about it!!! They are fishes for not warning me lol. But I guess it's a good thing :-) I'm really happy and I promise I'll put pictures up later.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas presents and if you wanted to know more information on the products or wanted to see what all Logan and I have to offer let me know and I'll give you a website to go to. That was random I know but just wanted to put that in there so I didn't forget.

Hope all is well with everyone else and that everyone is as excited as I am for spring to finally be here!!

I love you all and God bless!
