Birthday Girl

This week I celebrated 29 years on this earth. Pre-29-year-old Jenna would have 100 day countdowns and elaborate plans; this year was a little more quite.

I took the day off work and planned to do nothing. Instead, life happened... AND based off what happened next- I know I'm getting old.

I woke up early to stand in line, before the DMV opened, to renew my license (which expired that day); went home to clean a messy apartment; had a great lunch with hubby-to-be; back to more cleaning and an admirable attempt at a nap; quick trip to Disneyland for churros and fireworks; back home in time for bed.

Man oh man - time's have changed, but I love every minute of it. The out-pour of phone calls, text messages, social media well wishes, and in person hugs were so heart-warming. I am incredibly blessed with all the wonderful people in my life.

Twenty nine is sure to be an eventful year- and I can't wait! <3 Thanks God for keeping Your favor shining down on me.

Here's a little look into my special day...

 Lunch at Maggiano's

Dining table of birthday prizes!

Quick trip to the happiest place on earth

That castle, though!

Sometimes Kyle lets me eat cake in bed

Then tries to push it in my face

Came into work Friday with flowers and gifts from my amazing co-workers ❣

The Wonderful World of Disney

M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E! 

I've been looking forward to this family trip to Disneyland for far too long {Actually since Christmas when I found out my mom was taking my Aunt and Uncle - so I invited myself}. After taking the day off - slightly sleeping in - going for a quick run - I was ready to see some Princesses!

Auntie, Uncle Joe, and I choose the earlier shift and took advantage of smaller lines and less of a crowd. We rode the family favorites... Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain {soaked mountain}, and a few others while we waited for the rest of our group. Around lunch time Mom and Chrissy joined us at the Blue Bayou inside Pirates of the Caribbean {yummy but over-priced}. After lunch we walked around the park, re-road some of the rides from the morning, and ventured over to the Fantasyland {My personal favorite} where we ran into Aurora and rode all our favorite kiddie rides {Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, It's a Small World, Matterhorn, and walked through Sleeping Beauty's Castle}! There were other rides we went on but I can't remember anymore... I was starting to get tired ;)

We had so much fun walking through the park, taking pictures, getting snacks, and pointing out uncomfortable outfit selections. I love moments like this with my family and I'm so glad I was able to invite myself along for this one. 

Check out our day <3
