Thursday Things 07.23.15

BIG NEWS! I’m moving to Denver! Eeeeeeeeeee. I’ll have more details later, but the next few weeks are going to be busy applying for jobs, selling my condo, packing my stuff, coordinating the move, and saying ‘see ya later’ to so many people who I love. It’s super bittersweet, but I am very excited.

I’m excited about these things too:

  • Some delicious grilled corn recipes this week: grilled corn salad, charred corn with miso butter, bacon, and garlic scapes, and grilled corn with spicy buffalo butter. I want them all.
  • And for dessert, fruit pizza or summer celebration fruit tart.
  • Loved reading this post about a courthouse wedding.
  • I’m in the middle of reading The Rosie Project. It’s a fun, summer read!
  • It’s time for highlights! I got bayalage highlights last fall and loved them. As for color I think this tortiseshell hair color trend and a subtler version of this rose pink hair are pretty awesome. Thoughts?

In less exciting news, I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. The extraction only took about 30 minutes and I was completely under, which was great. Fortunately, I didn’t have any David After Dentist type moments. Afterwards my mom picked me up and took me back to Hutchinson. Now she’s taking care of me, bringing me and ibuprofen and ice packs for my super swollen cheeks, and making me tasty soft foods like pureed sweet potatoes, homemade applesauce, and peanut butter mousse. She’s the BEST.

Hope you’re having a great week!

Jenna

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
