I have been creating a front patio sanctuary...

Its still have alot of work to do, but I love having coffee and reading here.

Im gathering thoughts on some type of wall art and a more fitting table.

Elisey came to visit me. We enjoyed a few good days together, making lunch, having bfast on my front porch, going to a the shakespeare festival, and getting frozen yogurt.

Im glad I have a sister(s) very compassionate and understanding of my little heart.

She is wise for her years, sometimes I think she should be my older sister.

I also got to spend a day with my family.

We had a picnic, chit chatted about landons fat football neck, etc.

I love them so much.

Mom has done such a good job on raising us.

Brooke suprised me with an early birthday gift.

AKA a few of my Grandpa's belongings.

His film camera, is what im most excited about.

Brent is looking older these days.

It feels like yesterday mom was bringing him home from the hospital.

He wanted me to take a serious picture of him, which is quiet unusual, considering we dont have one family photo of him smiling normal.

The past two days i did Jenn days. This is where I do anything I desire. I spoil myself. I go on dates with myself. I treat myself so well. And give my body lots of attention.

So this is what I did....

1. Went running in the rain

2. Bought myself a MCdees ice cream cone (87ce

nts?!)

3. Took myself on a date to the movies

4. Took a midnight bike ride

5. Took the hottest and longest candle lit shower ever

6. Indulged in plenty of greek yogurt

7. Worked on my visualization board

8. Drove up the canyon found a nice spot, and angry drew

(aka drew freely everything thats bugging me)

9. Took a nap

10. Made Biscotti

11. Listened to french slow jazz (it makes me feel rich)

I love these girls (plus slyv: not pictured).

I schoochied up north and got to hang with them a bit.

I made some din din for them.

Jessie was all over me the whole time (nothing new).

Nat practiced all of her esthetician school stuff on us.

Bridgee and I discussed how lucky we are to have one another.

I cried a bit with Nat.

I call it....GOOD TIMES WITH GIRL TIME.

I also fell in love with this brown "beach" house in UTAH. ha.

Im going own it one day.

Only mine will on the beach and have way cooler landscape.

amen.

Today I celebrated being an American.

I treated myself to a glass of milk and oreo's.

You know, sometimes I feel embarrassed being an Ameri.

I feel like, everyone views us as... over indulge, overeat, over spend, and show little gratitude for what we have.

But today I gotta thinking.

Jenn how could you be ashamed?

I knew that MY heart was thankful for what I have.

I felt blessed being able to sit on my front porch... To have a porch.

I was thankful for the breeze that cooled my skin and the tree that swayed.

While enjoying my cookies, I watched a movie on Siddhartha.

So there you have it.

I celebrated being an American while learning about India's culture.

And this is why.... America Rocks

Frustrated..... AKA the place I wanted to live with my trailer.

Has an age limit on trailers.

They have to be 15 years or newer.

The main problem im having is finding places to keep my trailer.

That arent 600 bucks a month, or in the middle of nowhere.

I need place close to the U and trailer non-discriminative.

Im sending good vibrations to all the land of SLC find me.

In the meantime Im working on a plan.

And.... Alot of Visual Inspiration to keep me motivated

I went to the DI today.

This old couple were bickering so much over a table that cost ten dollars!

I told myself I never want to be them.

I want to tell my lover, babe you can have the table, plus the matching chair if you would like.

Nor do i want to be 50 getting furniture from the DI

Amen, thee end.

Summer Mornings

In the morning after im done at the gym I sit on my front porch...

with precisely brewed coffee

my path tracker

yoga mat

& a book.

Sometimes I water the grass if it wants me too.

I soak in the rise of the sun and let the world slowly wake up before me.

I like Summer Mornings.
