Home is where your heart is..
I was lucky enough to not have to move around due to my family always staying in one place no relocating or moves.
My childhood house is my home.
It's where my heart is and has always been.
It's where I learned to grow as a kid into a teenager.
It's where I learned that you shouldn't wear Playboy Bunny shirts in front of your dad
It's where I spent hours on the phone developing the strongest relationships with my best friends
It's where I first learned to curl my hair
It's where I had my heart broken for the first time
It's where I spent hours with my mom snuggling on the couch watching movies
It's where I found out I had a little brother joining our family
It's a place where memories are made of..
Homes can change and you can move but it's always where your heart is.
I've recently had some big changes that I've eluded to..
I've moved back home with my mom and brother and I've closed a big chapter in my life..
As you might have guessed -
I've called off my engagement to a man I so dearly love
We all deserve happiness and that's what I'm looking to fulfill, but most of all for myself.
I've posted about it before in my last two posts but I'm happy and excited for where my life is taking me..
While this is a very sad time in my life adjusting to reality that I'm no longer on a path to being married, becoming a mom and raising a family together it's a path that I choose to take.
Where the road leads is unknown but that's the beauty of it..
Only I can follow that road to my happiness...
For now it's back to spending much needed quality time with my mommy!





21 Lovely Notes:
Thinking of you Jenn! Time is beauty and will bring you so many open doors. Hang in there<3
We've already had our side convo about this, so you know where I stand. Good for you for acknowledging that you want more even if you have to experience pain to get there and having the strength to do it.
I can imagine that was such a tough decision. Keep your head up :)
Gotta follow your heart. XOXO
Wow that must have been so hard for you but you do seem to have a good mindset about it all and I know that you will grow so much from all this!
I can completely relate to you. I/we called off our engagement 2 months before the big day and we were together 10 years. Its such a tough time but I'm hoping for brighter days ahead. keep your head up!
Jen, you are a strong and beautiful woman who deserves the best! Good for you for realizing this and taking the necessary steps to take care of YOU! Sending lots of love & hugs your way, beautiful!
Thinking about you sweet girl. I know this is a tough time in your life. I do not know all of the details of the split but it is likely good that it happened before the marriage. You will overcome this and better things will come. You have to follow your heart.
I'm sure this is a very hard time for you, but you will come through better off in the end. Good luck, friend!
Thinking of you sweet girl! I'm hoping for the best for you!
Praying for you Jenn! We sometimes get wrapped up in other's needs and wants. You're amazing and I admire you for putting you first and doing what is right for YOU.
Excited to see where your life takes you next! xx
Jenn, I too have gone down this path before. It's a confusing one for sure-to love someone, but know its best to not share your lives together. I can tell you though, that you will find the happiness you deserve... I did. Having faith in anything requires strength, having faith that there is something better on the horizon for you is courageous. Be strong and be happy!
You are such a strong woman.. you're leading to great things! Thinking of you.. XOXO!
Thinking about you. You will pull out a stronger person.
You and your momma have gorgeous smiles! A very HAPPY 2013 to you, girly! xoxo
thinking of you, girl! keep your head up! xoxo
I was unaware of the engagement ending :( I'm a bad blog friend. Hopefully you find yourself in a better place... I'm still trying to find my happy place being alone for almost a year now. Keep your chin up girly... I'm thinking of you!
Oh, I'm so sorry Jenn! I had a feeling something was going on (I hadn't seen you posting in a while), but I wasn't sure.
Thinking of you, and hoping 2013 is a great year for you! xoxo
I'm a little late but am thinking of you! I wish we would've met up in FL! I am so glad you loved it! I thought California was the place to envy - it's funny to hear you say you loved FL more! ;) Happy 2013!
OMG! How did I miss this post?!?!? I'm so sorry to hear this, but I know that you'll end up where you're supposed to be! I'm so glad that you have such a great family support system to help you through this!
I'm so absent from blogging lately, so when your post today talked about a breakup I proceeded to trek back through a bazillion and 12 pages, solely to give you a big virtual high-five for following your heart girl. I ended a relationship to a great fella a few years ago simply because my heart wasnt in it, and got a lot of "i'm sorry"s which (i agree) is very awkward. Anyways, you're fantastic and great things will come your way, pretty lady!
