today is johnnys birthday. hes 27... i have been thinking recently about how wonderful he is and how grateful i am to have him in my life. i notice all the time, i think of him through out my day, but i have had several incidents in my life lately, that just makes my feelings for him clearer, and my heart grow fonder...



in the last couple weeks i have had several friends and clients tell me horror stories about men they have been dating, married to and so on. some were cheated on, some were acloholics, some were even beaten. horrible terrible things that these women had to endure. it kinda smaked me how fortunate i am.



he cooks, he cleans. im a tidy up kind of person, he is an elbow grease and base boards sort. the lawn is always mowed and very rarely do i have to ask him to take the trash out. and when i do ask him to do anything... it gets done.
he is a hard worker and has progressed at his job (that he loves) so quickly because of his awesome work ethic, his knowledge and quick learning. the man can fix anything.







i love his smile, its what gets me up in the morning. he is so thoughtful and considerate. he gives great hugs, and when he laughs i cant help but giggle too... he is certainly a man of few words, the strong silent-ish type. he makes my heart flutter. i could go on forever, but i wont :) i am truly grateful for him and appreciate every little thing he does. he is wonderful, and on his birthday i just want to wish him all the happiness in the world... he deserves it.

insanity doesnt run in my family....

it practically gallops!
haha! i saw this quote today.
i have decided it is by far my most favorite to date!





these were my most favorite that i had taken from today!

im trying....

i hate living in a sand box. so i have been on my own personal adventure to find beauty in unexpected places. its helping, but im still not a big fan of the dirt hole i call home!



john and i went to rogers springs today. everything was dead and crunchy, but i ended up with some okay stuff :)


this was carved into a palm tree, i guess you can find love in unexpected places!

thought these pods were cool. they were the only two on the whole tree. the last survivors! wonder what they will be.

the best 8 bucks i have ever spent!

omg! sooo much fun! i seriously sat outside with kyler, diesel, and stitch for ever! we refilled his bucket 3 times! how is it that something so silly can make me sooo happy?! haha!





pooch was hangin out, it must suck to not have hands and have to catch the soapy bubbles in your mouth! sick!

my name is jenny claessens...

and i am in love with a munchkin

please tell me why

i still have a christmas tree in my back yard...

i think you should have to like me all the time, not just cause hallmark says so.

im not a big fan of valentines day. traffic is terrible, restaurants are packed, girls are sad or anxious if they dont have a valentine, and for some reason these poor guys have all this pressure put on them for the perfect gift, or moment or who knows what unrealistic expectations these girls have... all to think your loved?! i am truly grateful for the wonderful person i get to spend my time with. things arent always perfect, but im pretty sure cinderella has already nabbed prince charming. i am confident in how he feels about me, and our relationship. that said... he is kindof on the sweet side. he always feels like a shmuck if we dont do much, so he always suprises me with something. sometimes its dinner, or sometimes its something small... but he cant do nothing. remind me to call and thank his mom :) haha. he had to work an valentines. on saturdays he works swing, so he had to be there from 330 pm - 1130 pm. i didnt get done at work till 530. i knew i wouldnt see him till he got home later that evening. i got home, and these wonderfully delicious strawberries were waiting on the counter for me! yummo! they are my favorite! he even had them dipped in WHITE chocolate! he is wonderful!





these were from a wonderful client of mine! so sweet!
