a 24th birthday letter to my husband

Dear A-

Happy 24th birthday husband. You are so intelligent, kind, caring, loving, and thoughtful. You have so much ahead of you and I know you are going to do so many great things throughout your life. You have made me a better person, you are my better half. Your ability to love me no matter how I am acting is incredible, I know I am not always the easiest to deal with, but you never give up on trying to cheer me up. I always thought my wedding day would be the happiest day of my life, and sure it ranks up on the top of happiest days, but my happiest day? It is every day since our wedding and every day to come. Knowing I get to wake up every morning next to you, knowing that at the end of a horrible or happy day I get to come home and share it with you, knowing that we have so many new adventures ahead of us, and knowing that there is always a hand where my hand fits and a shoulder where my head fits perfectly, those make for my happiest days. 

Never forget how much greatness you have inside you, never forget how much I love you, never forget that we are a team and we can do anything if we do it together. 

Happy 24th birthday Aaron, I am so lucky to have you! 

xoxo
Jenn

Things I've Learned (Vol. 1)

I have been reflecting a lot about life lately, with my birthday less than a week away it has gotten me thinking...I realized I have learned a lot over my 23 years of life, so I figured I would share some of it with you...

+ Some libraries charge your for overdue books- hello $12.00 fee. I guess city libraries are different than little town suburban ones, who knew?

+ I have a serious unhealthy addiction to magazines, I just love them. Oh and like the actual paper ones, none of those electronic ones.

+ Cooking dinner every night is harder than I ever imagined it to be. Were lucky if there is a main course, but adding a veggie and a side? Lets be real, most nights this doesn't happen.

+ Homemade mac & cheese is SO much better than the box kind.

+ Nothing can cheer my up like a walk through Target to buy unneeded items.

+ I am lucky to have found such an amazing husband so young.

+ I will never be able to switch to reading completely electronic books, nope, there is just something about an actual book that I love.

+ Unfortunately I have learned that a lot of things are out of my control (cue anxiety attack from a type a control freak).

+ I can try to be the most stylish, smartest or funniest- but it wont happen. That just isn't me and I am okay with that.

+ Summer used to be my jam, now its Fall. I love Fall time in New England, it's the best.

Have you learned anything new about yourself recently? 

Project Life 2013: Week 19

It is week 19 already, and I am still just as in love with project life as I was when I started.

Week of: May-6-12

Nothing too fancy this week. I wrote a lot on the journal cards, used quite a few stickers. That's about it.

What happend this week? I had finals and Aaron had the week off. There was a lot of studying, a few fun study breaks (everyone needs ice cream breaks!), and we headed to our parents for the weekend. Saturday we spent the day in Portsmouth together walking around the shops and we stopped in to see my dad. Saturday night we spent the night in Bow, and Sunday we celebrated mothers day! I took my mom to brunch at a local vineyard, it was a perfect day! One of my close friends also had her baby, so I got to soak up baby cuddles over the weekend as well.
