Thursday Things

July 17, 2014 by Jenna

sunday brunch This picture was taken during brunch with a girlfriend at Lake & Irving on Sunday. It was a beautiful morning for coffee and grapefruit mimosas. We split the Open Faced Kalua Pork Torta and the Nutella French Toast. So good! I love brunch. If you live in Minneapolis go there, pleaseeeee. You won’t regret it.

I’m glad it’s Thursday and almost time for Sunday brunch again. But first, here are some things and thoughts that I wanted to share with you:

  • This year for my mom’s birthday (or Mother’s Day? I can’t remember which one) I registered us for this 5K. Then I convinced 3 of my friends to also sign up for it, because it is such a fun race and positive experience. It’s also my friend’s birthday and her first 5K. Good thing there is bubbly at the finish line because celebrations will be in order! (HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTINE!!!)
  • How cool is this lamp?! I really want to try putting it somewhere in my condo. I think I can find space for it somewhere…
  • This article is speaking to me. I always learn so many things when I travel, about different cultures and myself. Only three weeks away from boarding a place to Costa Rica!
  • I can’t stop listening to this song. And this one too. Just put them both on repeat. Happiness over and over again.
  • I am going to try stand up paddleboarding for the first time this weekend! I’ll probably be terrible, but will be all like, “Hey, SUP!” (Get it?) Who wants to come with?

Have a super fantastic Thursday! xo

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s a 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 ❤️
