ode to panera.

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Oh Panera, you give me such joy in visiting you. With your selection of pastries, bagels, breads, and not to mention your delicious soups, salads, and sandwiches I feel that the possibilities are endless. And my most favorite thing…free wifi. I have so many fond memories of spending time sitting in your comfy booths catching up with my girl friends. Before I moved, you were less than 5 minutes away from me and were walking/biking distance. Now, you’re about 20 minutes away and my heart is NOT happy. When Jimmy and I move, one of the first things I shall do is find my nearest Panera Bread for my weekly fix. Thank you for always being there for me.

Always,
Jen

Anyway, things are going great! A few weeks ago Jimmy got his date to leave for basic training…November 29th! We were awaiting a call to let us know he’d be leaving any day now, but it’s nice for us to have a date and make the most of the time we have left together before we are away from each other for 8 weeks. We’re thinking of taking a mini-vacation somewhere, but not sure where yet. It’ll be nice that he will get to be here on Thanksgiving, but the thought of spending Christmas and New Years without him makes me cry a little inside, and I’ll definitely be crying on the outside when he’s gone. All I gotta say is that we better have one heck of an amazing Valentine’s Day when he comes back!!

Coming up: Disneyland pics, Palm Springs, outfits, and so forth :)

the best friend.

Gosh, where do I begin? Ashley is one of the most beautiful, caring, and sweetest girls I know. This girl and I go back pretty far and have an interesting history as to how we became friends. Let’s just say that liking the same guy doesn’t always end in drama! Hah. I consider her my “non-related sister”. She has been there for me in so many ways and what I love so much about our friendship is that we can go for months without talking or seeing each other but when we do, it’s like we just pick up where we left off and nothing changes. She was my maid of honor and my wedding was held in her front yard! Her family is like a second family to me and I always cherish the time I spend with her and her lovely family. I love you, Achli!

She came to visit me a little while ago and our day consisted of lunch at Johnny Rocket’s, shopping, and being silly with my camera in the playground down the street!


my top is from Marshall’s, shorts and belt are thrifted, and shoes are from Target.

We probably looked so silly at the playground with my tripod set up and running around and posing, but…it was fun so who cares! If we looked dumb, we looked dumb together. I love my friends :)

about a week ago, i tagged along with my sister-in-love on one of her photoshoots. she’s starting her own photography business and doing great so far! anyway i was the unofficial babysitter and while she was doing a family photoshoot, i got to watch my niece joss and explore some of oak glen.

afterwards, jhen and i had a little photoshoot and had some fun of our own.

possibly more later. jhens photography site is currently under construction, but once it’s up i’ll be sure to post the link :) here is her blog for now:

my husband jimmy and i have annual passes to disneyland. we first had them when we were dating, he bought us passes as my birthday present. i gotta say, best birthday present EVER. anyway we just got them renewed a few weeks ago! we go somewhat often, but a lot of the times i don’t bother to bring my camera or i just forget. this is not one of those times! i think i can also speak for jimmy when i say that there’s never a time when we don’t want to go to d-land. i’m going to start making it a rule for myself to always bring my camera when we go because i had wayyy too much fun taking these. plus, the memories of our disney dates wouldn’t hurt either ;)
