Thursday Things

October 16, 2014 by Jenna

Thursday Things 10.16.14 My friends and I tailgated for the Vikings game last Sunday. And by “tailgated” I mean “wandered around the tailgate lot, drank beer, and didn’t dress up in Vikings gear.” That’s still tailgating, right? We just wanted to check out the tailgate scene before the Polar Vortex strikes again! The end to this nice weather is near. Must.Take.Advantage.

Maybe we’ll go back and I’ll dig out my old Viking’s sweatshirt (#PurplePride). Or maybe we’ll just go to the apple orchard instead.

On that note, here some fun things I stumbled across this week:

  • Do you know what wine pairs best with your favorite Halloween candy? You do now.
  • Joy The Baker is the first blog I ever started following, ever. It was way back in 2010. She just released her second cookbook, Homemade Decadence. I can’t wait to devour everything in it. Everything she creates is absolutely wonderful.
  • How great is this doormat? I want to be greeted like that when I enter a place. Who wants to have a craft day with me?!
  • Clutch essentials. All of these things = totally necessary.
  • These pears. I want them.

So I will leave you with those things and get on a plane to Denver now.

Have a fabulous weekend! xoxoojenna

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 ❤️
