November Recap ~ 2016

Hello, my friends!! *waves* πŸ˜€

Okay, so I know it’s already December 9th (HOW DID THAT HAPPEN), but I just really wanted to post one of these! XD

I have never done this type of post before, so just bear with me. Let’s see if I can make this interesting… XD

Highlights of November:


Doing NaNoWriMo and SUCCEEDING!! 

It was really hard for me to keep up and fell behind a lot, but in the end I succeeded and that’s what matters right? I ate quite a bit of dark chocolate to help me through it… XD


Getting the professional wedding pictures!

AGH!!! They’re all SO beautiful!! I’m planning to post a bunch on LMF, so be on the watch for that πŸ˜‰

When we got these pictures in literally all my mom and I did was look at them all day long. The photographer did an AMAZING job!


Getting to see my family do worship together <3

I don’t know if any of you know this already, but my family is quite musically talented. My dad has been a worship leader for years and he taught my brother, Jordan to play guitar and he served on the worship team for a long time, as well as Aaryn, my new sister in-law who sings beautifully! And my brother in-law plays the drums, so it was really awesome to get to see them all play together – they do an amazing job! It was super special this time because it was the last time for who knows how long, before Jordan and Aaryn moved away… <3


Hillside!

YES! *happy sigh* it was so awesome doing the Hillside craft fair again. Though there was rain, freezing cold, and major winds, we did have a lot of fun and the last day was perfect in every way! πŸ™‚


Having my first latte from Starbucks!

I’ve been hesitant to try a latte for a long time, just cause I’m super picky and I love my frappΓ©s, but I finally gave in and I totally loved it! Even though I almost burned my tongue… XD

Crazy Moments:


Sleeping over at Emma’s and cracking up at her insanity.

This night was just – BIZARRE! Emma was out of control crazy and I was laughing at her like all night! XD The one thing I don’t understand is how exactly does she drink from a water bottle so creepily?? LIKE HOW?! XD


Being creeped on by Emma The Insanely Creepy the entire time at Hillside.

No joke, I literally look over at her booth (we’re right across from each other, as you can tell in the picture) and she’s staring at me like this!!! And I don’t know, is she part Indian or something, cause she’s always sneaking up on me and I’ll turn around and she’s there staring at me with this creepy face!! XD It’s creepy, but hilarious. XD

Bundling up in a tablecloth at Hillside.

IT WAS FREEZING!!! It was raining, windy, and just – FREEZING!! My mom and I both wrapped ourselves up in tablecloths and put on hats, hoods, and scarves – we were cracking up! XD

Sad Times:


Thanksgiving

Though this was a great day and we were all happy to be together, it was really bittersweet and not all of us were our normal, happy, crazy selves. This was our last family gathering together before Jordan and Aaryn moved away and saying goodbye to them that night, though it wasn’t our last goodbye, was extremely painful. πŸ™

Saying Goodbye to Jordan and Aaryn.

wedding_101416_0463

My mom, dad, Jen, Jason, and I went over to say goodbye to them Friday night, the day after Thanksgiving. I can’t tell you how much we all hugged and cried. And though it was one of the hardest things, saying goodbye to them – I realized also how beautiful it was. That we as a family could come together with the freedom to cry and embrace like that over “losing” 2 beloved family members. I know it might sound silly that we were all crying so much, especially since they’re 6 hours away and I know some people have family even farther away – but we’ve always been together and we love each other so much. It was really hard to say goodbye, but I think we’re all doing a lot better now. <3
Looking Ahead:

– Posting more often! I’ve really missed posting here, on LMF, HRMW, and on TEROW, so I’m really hoping that this month I can get a lot of posting done! πŸ˜€

– CHRISTMAS!!! No, no, this year it isn’t for the presents that I’m so excited (though I am excited for that, too… XD). This year I’m excited for Christmas because then our whole family will be together again! πŸ˜€ <3

– Work next week!! You all remember me saying that I got a job working in childcare, right? Well, we went on break and I thought I wouldn’t get to go back until January, but thankfully we get a day next week! I MISS THE CHUBLETS!!! XD (I can feel Emma glaring at me right now…. XD )

– Rogue One! ANYONE WHO IS EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE PLEASE SAY SO! My sister and I are the only ones in our family who are excited for it. O_O

– Annndd… I can’t think of anything else right now. I’m just excited to see what else this month has in store for me! πŸ˜€

What about you? How did your November go? Is there anything you’re looking forward to this month?

  • Ooh, I LOVE recap posts! Especially ones organized like this and with pictures! πŸ˜€ Like, this has to be one of my favorite recaps ever! And you are SO. FUNNY. XD LOLOL! XD

    By the way, I am TOTALLY looking forward to Rogue One! ;D And my November was AMAZING. I’m so glad yours was, too! My December, is, well, different. O.o It’s not bad, it’s just… Meh. I don’t know how it is December 10th already and all I’ve done is stay super and busy and stressed with an overload of DWOD stuff to pack in this month. I haven’t really been able to relax and enjoy this Christmas season like I was last year, or have even started getting presents together for my family & friends, and I’m getting SUPER FRUSTRATED. CHRISTMAS IS IN 15 DAYS. XD

    Ahem, but, anyway. I’m not complaining. XD

    I am super, duper excited for more posts on LHOAG! (No pressure at all, of course. I love it when you do post (’cause you’re awesome)(yup, parentheses inside of parentheses XD) but am totally not “mad” when you don’t! We all understand the awesomeness and craziness of life! πŸ˜€ <3)

    β€’Madisonβ€’
    P.S. The tags! XD XD XD "Creepy Emma… Emma is Creepy" XD XD XD
    P.P.S. I am super picky and I love my frappΓ©s, too! But now you've made me want to try a lattΓ©… Yes, I know, I'm only 13, but I appreciate coffee anyway. A lot. XD

    • Awww, wow! Thanks so much, Madi! I’m so happy that you loved it so much! πŸ˜€ LOLOL! Thanks! XD

      Awww, Madi! Don’t work yourself too hard! I know there’s a lot you wanna do for your family and friends, but make sure you take some time to just sit back and enjoy the season! I know it’s probably a little late to say this (I’ve been busy… and I admit, a bit lazy XD), but I hope that next year you won’t work yourself too hard. Christmas comes once a year and you should enjoy the season while it’s here πŸ™‚

      Awww! XD Thank you, Madi! I feel bad for slacking off on posting on here… And also on LMF… But I have some posts planned for this week and I can’t wait to post more! πŸ˜€

      Thank you for your comment, Madi! You’re always the sweetest and I love reading every single one of your comments! <3

      ~Jaclynn~
      P.S. LOLOL! Yes… she’s so creepy that even my tags agree… XD
      P.P.S. LOL! I totally understand! Coffee is totally amazing! πŸ˜€ I think you should try a latte! They’re SO good! πŸ˜€

  • Wow! What a full, beautiful month! I LOVE your bridesmaid’s dress. πŸ˜€ I’m looking forward to seeing more pictures from the wedding! Also, I’m glad that Hillside went well, even though it was freezing. πŸ˜‰ Did you make any sales? (Never mind – I’m sure you did. I really should ask: HOW many sales did you make?) πŸ˜‰

    Yes, I AM SOOOOO EXCITED FOR ROGUE ONE!!!!! It looks like I’ll be able to see that one in the theater with my cousins, which will be so much fun! I’ve never watched a movie with them in the theater before, much less a Star Wars movie. *squeals*

    Ahhh… it’s good to have you back. πŸ™‚

    ~Lizzy

    • Thank you SO much, Lizzy! I loved my dress so much! πŸ™‚
      LOL! I am, too! XD Actually, the first 4 days I made NO sales. On the last day I made a few, though and got a good amount of money, so that was great! I was a bit bummed I didn’t make as much as I usually do, but I was trusting God that everything would work out (I was stressing cause I usually use Hillside money to buy Christmas gifts and I had no money…) and He definitely did! πŸ™‚

      Oh, that’s awesome, Lizzy! I got to see it with family and friends that are like family, so that was fun, too! πŸ™‚ Did you enjoy the movie? πŸ˜€
      Awe, thank you! I know I disappeared again, but I’m glad to be back NOW. Yes, I’m really back this time. XD
      ~Jaclynn~

      • I DEFINITELY enjoyed Rogue One! Though, at the end, my cousin and I just hugged each other and sobbed. Nonetheless, I am quite eager to watch it again. Lol. πŸ™‚

        ~Lizzy

        • Awww! How nice it is to have people who understand the pain πŸ˜‰ I’m seeing it again tomorrow and I can not wait!! πŸ˜€
          ~Jaclynn~

  • My November went amazing (my birthday)
    And I can’t wait for the holidays
    I’m so excited, I’m getting my Christmas tree today!!!
    -Lucky ?
