Birthday Post

Hello all!

Jen here!
Coming at you with a birthday post!

I have always loved celebrating others’ birthdays, but never my own.
I am not a fan of all the attention, the waiters wanting to sing to me, and the realization that I am getting older and not necessarily wiser ;)

But this birthday felt different, this whole year has felt different to be honest! I have gained a confidence and a patience for myself that I didn’t think could be possible.
Walking into 26 years of life was great!

So I wanted to share some thoughts and images with you all

For those of you who know me, you know I am detail oriented, hyperactive, oftentimes have trouble focusing, and thrive off of getting things done.
Sometimes I push myself too hard and forget to see the good that is in me.
I love making sure my mental wellness is a priority, but sometimes I put a lot of pressure on myself and feel really frustrated when the outcome was not what I wanted.

Anyone else ever feel like this?

So why am I sharing this with you?
Hopefully so that we can come together and create a little community of happiness and positive vibes!
And to let myself feel happy with who I am and the progress that I am making, even if the progress seems small.

I hope you all can feel this same way too! Content with who we are, excited for the future, and patient with our progress!

Enjoy some pictures we took today!
I felt so happy to be with my wonderful husband Tyler and my amazing family!
I have learned so much this last year and hope my 26th year teaches me even more!

Tyler let me "sleep in" on my birthday, even though that meant I laid awake in bed for a while enjoying the sunshine and birds and still got up before him and Ruca :)

My cute parents! My dad started chemo again this week and I felt so guilty he wanted to celebrate instead of resting, but am thankful for all the love he shows me and my family.

We ended our night in a park where my mom treated us with a delicious cake she had made and we lit off some fireworks!

Ty and I love Roman Candles! Here I am trying to run after him to light the other one haha.
