Last year, I was in an airport with a layover to kill and a computer on my hands, so I decided to write about life since that seems to be a thing I do about once a year. I’m not entirely sure why that is; perhaps I should be studied. Actually, scratch that because that sounds incredibly boring. </div>

As stated last year, I like to look at birthdays as a personal New Year’s. Take stock. Reflect. Move forward. </div>

As I was driving to my family on my birthday evening tonight, I got to thinking about where I was last year on this day, and like dominoes, I went back further and further. So, since the memories are completely different, I thought it might be fun to look back 10 years, 5 years, and last year. It’s the wee hours of the morning after my birthday; I am currently crashing in my kid sister’s bed since she is away at our grandmother’s house, and the New Order is quietly playing through my speakers, pressing me on. So, let’s go there, ok?</div>

Ten years ago, I was celebrating my birthday in Germany. GERMANY for my 21st birthday. Not the worst idea I’ve ever had. I was studying abroad at the time at Reading University in Reading, England (pronounced “red-ding) and had the opportunity to fly cheaply to Berlin. I decided to get away for my birthday and visit my sweet friend, Caroline. She was a German exchange student at my high school, and we got along famously. So famously, in fact, that I had already been to Germany to visit her my junior year of high school after working as a waitress and saving my money to buy a ticket. My parents let me buy a ticket and fly to Berlin, alone, after Christmas and stay until after New Years. I was already in love with traveling by age 17, but that trip definitely sealed my fate of wanderlust. But this is about 21-year-old Jordan, not 17-year-old Jordan. Anyway, I flew to Berlin the 24th and woke up to snow on my birthday the 25th. Another great reason I had for traveling to Germany to visit Caro is that she and I share the same birthday, only she is one year older. We visited her family in Dessau, and I ate the best schnitzel of my life by the hands of her grandmother at lunchtime. We traveled on to Leipzig, where she was living and studying and later met up with some of her friends at a bar that was nothing but beds. Growing up in a dry county, I was completely out of my comfort zone but rest assured, any Irish descent I have rang true that night. Even the Germans were a little impressed that my first night of drinking went so smoothly and no hangover the next morning, so I’m counting it as a win. </div>

21-year-old favorites:</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Music: Death Cab for Cutie (their album Plans came out right before I left for England, so it became part of my soundtrack to England), The Postal Service, Copeland, The Decemberists, Jack Johnson, Eisley,The Strokes, Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday, Jeff Buckley, and Modest Mouse. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Clothing: I had no idea how my time in England would shape my style and identity (Right before I left for England, I did something that shocked a lot of people, even myself; I chopped off my hair and dyed the bottom of it fire-engine red). I guess I was always “trendy,” but I didn’t have my own sense of style. I was the queen of mall stores with a little bit of thrift thrown in for “edge.” England opened my eyes to creative expression being something I put on my body. I am very thankful for it. I bought my first pair of skinny jeans in England. They wouldn’t come to the states for another five months or so, so I looked a bit looney when I got back to my university in something aside from boot cut jeans. The girls who were studying abroad with me and I fell in love with Primark, and it became a regular routine for us because not only were we broke college students, but we were international college students whose dollar sucked in comparison to the pound. So, Primark became the place we flocked to because everything was so inexpensive. We would go to pricey stores, scope out something we liked and then go to Primark to recreate it. Praise hands forever.</div>

Stephen, Jonny, Jessica, and Rachel were people I knew(ish) from Ouachita, but this trip created a sweet family from a mostly acquaintance-based group of students. We were all placed in the housing of Wantage Hall, Jonny was even my next door neighbor. Honestly, this season in life holds some of my most prized memories. We traveled and explored (without smart phones or any phones) together. We figured things out together. We spent most of our time as a unit. We then branched out and made friends with natives: the whole JCR for Wantage Hall (sort of the British version of RAs), as well as our sweet friends Leon and Jack who all became so near and dear to us. </div>

Major things: Travel, obviously. I made a promise to myself when I was 14, after having traveled to England, that I would live in England in some capacity, and I felt incredibly lucky to study in Reading. I’m so glad this hasn’t changed. This was also the last time I would travel with my dad. Such a special trip!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
I also loved coffee shops with my college sweetheart, Chris. He was main interest of mine for the whole of my 21st year, honestly.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
I loved movies and live music at this time and actually caught a Johnathan Rice concert while I was in England. Being friends with Jonny and Stephen while I was in England really struck a love for the art of films, not just their entertainment value.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
I also loved my summers working at Kanakuk. </div>

Jordan, age 26. Five years ago. 2010</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Five years ago, I actually spent my time at my parents’ home because my birthday fell on Thanksgiving Day. One major thing that happened in the five years from my 21st was that my father was killed in a car accident, and my mother remarried. My mom sold the house I grew up in, the one my dad built, to my sister and brother-in-law. So the house I went to for my birthday was their new house they had bought and moved in just a few months before my birthday. It was a fresh start, which was pretty resonating with me because I, too, was in the process of new start. I was in my third year of teaching, but I was teaching at a new school this year. I’d left Crossett for Benton and was entirely over my head, but it was fantastic. I was living in an apartment that I paid too much for, but I was loving my life. I was also, however, trying to understand and deal with a disease I had been diagnosed with almost 7 months before: Type 1 Diabetes. The day of my birthday, my brother woke me up by making breakfast. I had loads of family time, thanksgiving at my grandmother’s, and rounded the night out with making hot chocolate for my family while we played games. All-in-all a great, relaxing birthday. </div>

26-year-old favorites:</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Music: Sufjan Stevens. (My best friend, Laura and I actually got to go see him at SMU the month before my birthday. It was a birthday gift I gave myself). Lykke Li, Loney, Dear, Joanna Newsom, MGMT, Billie Holiday, Matthew and the Atlas, Cults, Adele, Stars, Amy Winehouse, Andrew Bird, Her Space Holiday,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Clothing: by this point, I had honed my clothing style into something that made me feel comfortable in my skin. Not only had I honed my style but more importantly, I had owned it, much to the chagrin of my mother. haha I did feel like I was in new territory. Living in Crossett, I was always kind of labeled the lady with the crazy style,and I guess I thought it would be different in Benton…but no. haha My style was still a little “out there” for most. I guess the best part of this age was the fact that I felt unapologetic about how I dressed when before, I think I lacked that confidence in a way. This was also the year that “leopard became a neutral” in my mind. I never really cared for it before. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Friends: As previously stated, Laura was my best friend. She wasn’t even in my life at 21, which is crazy how fast relationships grow. Laur and I saw and have seen one another through a lot of difficult things and this year was one of those, for sure. She has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know, and I was so glad I was able to live so close to her.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
This year I was able to be around friends I hadn’t been around in years due to my living in the middle of nowhere in Crossett, so that was great being able to reconnect with great friends I had in college. One person who I was SO excited to not only reconnect with but also work with was my friend Leah, who was a great friend I had in college. She had reconnected with her friend Billy, who was a friend of hers from college, and he had a friend Tom. The four of us would meet in Little Rock on Sunday nights after church and became what was later dubbed “Sunday night family.” Those were some of the most fun nights I can remember. We drove over an hour for sweet potato fries. We went to baseball games and scary houses. It was so fun to be able to DO things after living in the middle of nowhere. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
This year, I also met Julie, who I worked with(still do). She attracted me with her smart, independent, savvy demeanor. I wasn’t aware she would grow to become the older sister I always longed for, growing up. She would become one of the most important friendships I’ve ever had. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Major things: I hadn’t traveled much this year, mainly due to lack of funds. But, it was always on my mind where I would go next. Actually I didn’t know it yet but in a few months, my sister Jade and I would take my brother Callahan to NYC for his graduation celebration. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
My nephew Elliot arrived four months before my birthday and completely changed my ideas on love at first sight. He’s been my favorite man ever since.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
I was not only teaching a new grade level but a new area content area, as well. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
I taught zumba a lot, after getting certified the year before. I was teaching at a church in Little Rock two nights a week, as well as a gym and at my school after school. Lots of being active but it wore on me greatly. One of my favorite times of teaching zumba was that Laura would come to Little Rock to take my class, even though she lived in Conway. We would meet up at Starbucks on Broadway and stay late, talking and catching up. Those nights of just coffee and Laura and leisurely talks were one of my favorite parts of this year.<br />
Later this year, I bought my first house and dubbed it "The Pearl." It is an old house full of character, complete with at tiled matador. I bought it completely alone and sitting by myself at the table signing papers was one of the scariest and most badass moments of my life. </div>

Jordan, Age 30. One year ago. 2014</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
I spent my 30th birthday, and the few days before, in Denver with my friends Karissa and Lauren. The month before, I separated from/left my husband and was obviously in an emotional and weird state in life. Some people deal with difficult things with alcohol or meds or “getting even.” I deal with it by traveling, so Denver was a great answer. We had the best time, and I fell in love with Denver. They were both living in Denver with their husbands, and I had a ticket I needed to use and part of my Thanksgiving break. On my birthday, I woke up in Karissa’s apartment curing a hangover due to a night of Illegal Pete’s, complete with margaritas, with her and our friend Jill the night before. After a few days together, Karissa, her husband, and his family were going to a different part of Colorado that morning, and I met up with Lauren for Voodoo Donuts and coffee before flying back to Arkansas. It was a great morning, to round out a great few days. After flying and having a layover in Dallas, I made it home to Little Rock, where Julie was going to pick me up. She surprised me with my friend Katy and the two of them took me out for my birthday for drinks and avocado egg rolls. It was such a wonderful surprise and as we were drinking, Katy read me a toast she had for me and crying on my birthday was much nicer than it sounds. I entered my 30’s having never felt so loved in my life. </div>

30-year-old favorites:</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">

Clothing: After separating from Heath, I felt like I was in a huge transition phase because for the first time in a while, I felt like I could wear whatever I wanted without having someone criticize me—which was amazing! This year I learned a lot about “investment pieces” vs. things that are inexpensive. Things weren’t much different than age 26. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Friends: I still had many of the friends from age 26, though many of them were all over the country.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Laura was now married with a little girl. Major life changes for her. :) </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
With many friends at school and otherwise, I felt a great network of people behind me in this great, weird year. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Jules helped me so much with understanding myself through this crazy ordeal. Divorce isn’t for the faint of heart, and having her in my corner was a saving grace. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Major things: I was lucky to get to travel soooooo much this year. I started with Denver, the next month Jules and I went to NYC, I flew to Chicago to visit my friend Katie, in February I went to Portland solo over Valentines Day, in March I flew to Italy and traveled all over the country, and in June I set off on a seven-country trip over Europe which included Switzerland, which had always been a dream of mine. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
I adopted two sibling puppies and fell head over heels for Winnie and Huck. In April, Huck had a fluke thing happen and got an infection that was too far gone to stop. I had to put him down and that was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do alone. It devastated Winnie and me, and I knew I wanted to get another dog as soon as I could. When I returned from my big trip overseas in June, I adopted Holland from the Humane Society in Benton. He and Winnie love one another, and I am so thankful she has a brother. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
I felt so empowered this year on my own. It was amazing and refreshing, and I realized my worth. I took stock of my life and realized that I have a lot of things I want to do. And if I do them alone, that’s fine. Taking a train across India WILL happen one day.<br />
Oh, and I pierced my nose. </div>

Jordan, Age 31, Now. 2015</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
Today I spent most of my birthday in bed. By myself. And you know what, it was fabulous. Clean, white sheets. A fan blowing softly. I slept in like no one’s business. Then I leisurely got myself together. A hot bath. Collecting clothes for my trip to Searcy to see my family. Music playing. Awkward dancing. The works. For breakfast, I ate kolaches that I bought in West, Texas yesterday at Czech Stop. Oh my, they were worth the wait and self-control. I loaded my dogs and a few belongings up and started for Searcy, stopping at Starbucks for my birthday reward. I saw three of my favorite people there and continued driving up to my family. Upon arrival, I promptly helped my mother peel potatoes for our family meal. Family was gathering at my parents’ house for Thanksgiving. They filtered in and I stayed mostly in the living room with my siblings. We laughed and caught up. After eating, I played with my sister’s hair, like a slumber party. We had those great big belly laughs and even tried our hand at using a selfie stick. After family left, the immediate stayed and they gave me gifts. It was sweet and slow and made me wish I lived much closer. I kissed my family goodnight and now here I am: 3am on Thanksgiving morning. Writing. I can’t seem to sleep. I think I’m a little drunk on love. </div>

I started getting into photography once I was in the 10th and 11th grade. I loved it when my mother would let me use her camera, and there was a delicious anxiety that overcame me when I had to wait for my film to develop. How would they turn out? As a child, I loved the covers of National Geographic that my grandmother had. The covers were beautiful and richly colored and always made me want to go wherever they were. It fed that wanderlusty part of me. </div>

When I entered high school, especially when I started driving, I started to love shopping and the big thing at that time was Abercrombie and Fitch. I remember walking into the store for the first time and though I loved the clothing, the thing that stuck out to me was the oversized photographs throughout the store. I loved how natural the models looked. The girls looked like they didn't have on a stitch of makeup, and they always looked so fresh. I would walk around the entire store to every section, just to see all the photos. I remember buying my first catalog and pouring over the photographs while laying on my bedroom floor. Natural, candid. I was heartbroken a couple years later when the catalogs became more about showcasing nude models, rather than models in their clothes. But those good years I had with them made me think of photography in a different way. Instead of the way that you used to get photos taken with your family: matching outfits in an awkward position with a crazy background, I fell in love with the idea of having things feel a bit more relaxed, and as creepy as it sounds, let people just do their thing and just be there with my camera to document it. I have been a photographer longer than I have been a teacher, starting shooting professionally in college. And while teaching largely takes up my time, photography will be a large part of who I am. The only sad thing is in college is I always had someone to photograph and people largely filled my schedule. Now, my life is grading and putting together the yearbook.</div>

I met Liv and Baylee last school year when they signed up to travel with me to Europe last March. These two are such lovely girls and so easy to adore. I unfortunately didn't ever get to teach them, but traveling sort of bonds you to people because you share experiences, and I am so happy we have that. </div>

Normally I do a lot of cutesie types of shoots and while those are great, I really love to have shoots that have some creativity involved. While these photos aren't super creative, they are unconventional, and we all know I thrive on it. I was inspired by Free People and wanted to have a sort of boho/70's/FP/Americana type shoot and lucky for me, the girls were down for it. They were a dream to work with, and I am so proud of the work. Enjoy!</div>

Back in October, my good friend, Lauren got married to her beau Mark, and I was super jazzed to get to photograph it. Lauren is one of my longest active friendships (since 5th grade). She is intelligent, independent, creative, and very welcoming-- one of those who makes you feel at home with her no matter where you are. I have admired her for years, raising her little doppelgänger, Joules, alone all the while putting herself through school. </div>

Their big day took place in Searcy, Arkansas at the Robbins-Sanford Grand Hall, and it was one of the best, most laid back days. Great people. Great music. Great food and drinks. It was a photographers dream, complete with a very charismatic bridal party who I hung out with until the wee hours of the morning. Note to self: I should stay away from all things sangria because that stuff doesn't joke around.</div>

Lauren, you are radiant, and I couldn't be more happy for you! Congratulations, Johnsons! </div>

The more we meet, I'm not sure whether I want to pinch your darling cheeks or sucker punch you <u>hard</u>. There is always a big love/hate relationship with birthdays, amiright? Thankful for one more year (unless it was a bad one) or cursing the blasted year previous. I like to look at my day as one that is my own personal New Years Day. **JORDAN'S NEW YEAR'S DAY.** Sounds super gratuitous and selfish? Eh...but let me have this, it is my birthday after all.<br />
<br />
As many people know, I put a heavy stock into traveling. I am currently typing this from a very uncomfortable airport lounge seat with the smell of my leftover Manchu Wok orange chicken wafting nearby. But its fine. <i>It really is</i>. You wanna know why? Because just like every New Year teaches us something new about ourself, I think traveling teaches me just as much. Let's arrange a marriage between the two.<br />
<br />
Traveling really is my favorite thing ever. It started when I was 10, and my parents took me to the Bahamas. The rush as the engine started and the drop in my stomach when we took off. Looking out the window to the water that was one of the prettiest things I had ever seen in real life. And most importantly, doing it all with people I love.<br />
<br />
I do not pretend to have the answers. But let me at least drop my own personal knowledge on you. I am a teacher, okay? This may come as super juvenile ideas, and perhaps they are but they are mine, and I would like to document this time in my life to return back to. This past year was a powerful year in my life. It had some super great moments. You know those kind that make you want to freeze time, curl up and get lost right then forever? Yeah, those. It also was filled with moments that I'd like to send right back to their maker. Buuuuuut if I'm being honest, though, I wouldn't trade this year for anything. Why? Because all the bad and good create this wild journey that keeps me coming back for more. I've had some pretty horrendous things happen in my journey, life and travel, but it doesn't hold me back from continuing on, does it? So, let's go with my year of learning, mmkay?<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Be on time. </b><br />
Sure, by my age, this is a late lesson. ( o o p s ) But! this year, I made it a vow to be better about it, and I can say, it has made me feel better. Not just because rushing around is the worst but because whatever it is, I don't know, it feels more...respectful (?) to be there on time. Like, not that I ever was trying to NOT be respectful, but you know what, life isn't going to wait on you. As important as we may think we are, we really aren't, just like the NYC debacle of 2009 when I missed my flight because I was late and had to sleep overnight in the international section of the airport... Life, man. It really likes for you to be on time and just be there.<br />
<br />
<b>Sometimes people are really just doing their job to keep you safe...from others and yourself. Let them have that.</b><br />
TSA. The one place you can get felt up before your morning coffee or even a hearty hello. But you know what? I don't mind it because I know they are just doing their job. And can I just say, that is not a job I would really want...but I respect it. The workers have to tell people things the people do not want to hear, they have to sort through belongings--some probably embarrassing, they have to ask the blunt questions. This year I learned just how important it is to surround yourself with people who will protect you. They will do the uncomfortable things, say the not-so-nicest things in order to help protect you from yourself and others. I have gained some of the very best friends in this journey of mine who have been in my corner through some rough times this year. They have said things that weren't necessarily what I wanted to hear, but I needed to hear. They were my protectors. They helped me get rid of the junk and examine things closely in my life to help me proceed to the journey. Y'all those kinds of friends. Those are the ones you want on your journey right beside you.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Judging is not my place.</b><br />
This year, I have learned that we really don't know what is going on with anyone. Sure, that is a ballsy statement, but it is true. I am learning still that people are all fighting fights that are their own. And they are big to them. It really doesn't matter if they are big to you or not. BECAUSE IT IS NOT YOUR FIGHT. I had some major humbling things happened this year that even still make me happy to be going where I'm going, no matter how much they try to knock me down. And that took a lot of time to get to that place because at first I was bitter. I was mad. I was also afraid of judgement from others, which looking back, was so silly. I was reminded in a small way this afternoon when I boarded my flight from Denver to Dallas. I walked to 31E, a middle seat, to find a woman sitting on the other side of my seat, holding her bright-eyed 8-month-old baby girl. Insert face palm and words that probably aren't suitable for my grandmother to read here. I thought to myself, WHY ME? I am doomed for an extra long flight with a screaming baby and IT IS MY BIRTHDAY. The plane started, and I got super nervous, just waiting for the wailing to start. We took off, no sound. We'd been in the air 15 minutes, no sound. I finally looked to my left to see the brightest, biggest blue eyes framed by a lavender bow the size of her head and topped with the widest grin. Wanna know the sound she made on the trip? Cooing. C O O I N G. You know, that uber magical sound that babies make? That giggly cooing that should be recorded and looped and sold worldwide? Yeah...no crying. Just slobbery, otherworldly adorable-ness for an entire flight. And she loved me and my big ring and my long hair, and I loved her back. This tiny human I had judged at first glance. Stupid Jordan is such a chump.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Do something that scares you: taking the leap is important in life.</b><br />
I don't care how many times I fly, the whole taking off and landing still gives me butterflies a little. But just like we love to do things that scare us a little: fly, ride a roller coaster, perform in public, watch a horror movie, get married, have a baby--once the leap is taken, those usually are the things that make us feel most alive and happy. This past year I took two separate trips overseas with high school students, many who had never traveled before. I was a nervous wreck both times because you know, <i>what could go wrong here</i>, I wonder? But seeing them do things that were brave for them: flying for the first time, going on the London Eye, trying new cuisine, feeling empowered by knowing where we needed to get off on the subway: it melted that worry. It kept me going. It made me thirst for more adventure, instead of wallow in worry.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>You are not alone, and it is ok to let people help you. </b><br />
One thing that I love about traveling, that some people do not, is the people I meet along the way. I rarely meet a stranger and hearing what little I do of their story will always be one of my favorite things in life. And even when I travel alone, I love that I am still not alone. I am surrounded by culture and language and smells and sounds and people who are on their own journey, whatever that may be. Something big that happened this year for me was the act of being vulnerable- not my strong suit. Being a feminist (humanist, more like it), I always want to practice and preach: humility, grace, and confidence. Having a natural sense of independence can make it difficult to relate to people on a level that may exude dependance. HOWEVER, this year I have learned how important it is to let people lower their guard with you, as you also lower yours with them. Realizing that you need something or someone is not a show of weakness but strength. I thought asking for help meant that I had failed. I couldn't do it alone and that made me fragile. This year there have been some tough conversations going on, which forced me to reevaluate things and also made me realize that I shouldn't try to do things all on my own sometimes. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Because I am not alone, thankfully. </i>I am part of a tribe of people who take me how I am: the messy, the happy, the sad, and everything in between. People who I can be my most authentic self with. I cannot stress the importance of having people in your life who you can be the most you, whatever state that may be.<br />
<br />
<b>Waiting/Things not being in your control.</b><br />
I am currently rocking a three hour layover in Dallas (what up, 2-1-4?). Is this how I would have preferred to spend the last few hours of my birthday? #nope But! Had it not happened, I wouldn't have even really had this unadulterated time to reflect on the past year of my life. #winning Waiting is good, y'all. Sometimes not having immediate feedback and answers does a body good. This year has been a good waiting year for me which is difficult for an antsy broad such as myself. A lot of times I wanted immediate answers but still got a busy signal. Living in such a crazy, busy world, I feel like we've lost our patience (I know I have). We live in an immediate culture that demands things how we want them, when we want them. But you know what can be the very best thing ever? Silence. Complete and utter silence. And being alone. Silent and alone. Another thing about traveling is how there are a lot of things that are simply out of your control. Delayed flight? You can't do anything about it. Lost bag? Not in your control (unless you work in baggage at the airport --at which point I need to say, let's be besties because my bags are ALWAYS delayed, hokay?). Same way in life. There are things that go on that you have zero control over, and guess what, it is going to be alright. It really is. Because realizing things aren't in your control is actually a liberating feeling sometimes or so this lady believes.<br />

<br />
So here's to another year, November 25th. Thank you for being you. And for being there for me every year. Thank you for what you've taught me this year. Thank you for giving me these experiences to collect on my continuing journey. Let's make this year one of the greats and see the world.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14081430399129670885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536417351861544800.post-41447642368519200202014-05-07T21:03:00.002-07:002014-05-07T21:03:34.157-07:00DIY Kimono CardiFirst, let me tell you Hello. I was like, "I wanna start a blog." Then I took a four month hiatus because IT GOT COLD. I have a hard time dealing with extreme weather, and when I got to thinking about talking about clothes the only thing I could think to write was "GIVE ME ALL THE LAYERS!!" I am not sure how many blog posts I could milk out of that sentiment, so I just decided to go with a hiatus and a fresh start later.<br />
<br />
Moving forward:<br />
Kimono. Cardigans.<br />
Have you seen them? They are three of my favorite things: loose, flowy, and pretty. I think they compliment many different body types.<br />
One problem, though, is that depending where you buy them, they can be ESSSSPENSIVE. I have seen them from around $19 at F21 to $67 on ASOS to $98 on Free People. Another issue I guess I had with them is that they were usually ones I just kind of liked, not any that I was head-over-heels in love with.<br />
Solution: make my own.<br />
<br />
I am still a <strike>beginner</strike> fetus when it comes to sewing. I have been fascinated by it ever since I would be in my grandmother's sewing room, watching her make clothes for me and my sister. My 10th grade year, she even made my prom dress (also, made my cousin's wedding dress). Homegirl has some major skills and I wished so badly that it would be something I would just pick up like you see the youtube videos of child prodigies making art or playing music...le sigh. Lucky for me, though, the sewing for this project is a cinch! Seriously, let girlfriend break it down for you.<br />
<br />
Supplies needed:<br />
a scarf that is wide enough to go past both shoulders and has a length that you like<br />
pins<br />
scissors<br />
tape measure<br />
a sewing machine with thread in a coordinating color<br />
or if you don't have a sewing machine, a needle and thread of a coordinating color.<br />
<br />
Estimated time: around half an hour<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
First things first: pick a scarf you love. Florals are great. Ones that have trim down the sides are great, too.<br />
I picked this one up at Target for around $17. I loved that it had mirrored sequins sewed on, and it was half one print, half another. Target had a huge selection of scarves on sale and I actually got a few: two were less than $5 and one was a little over $7. Not to mention, check out a scarf you have in your closet that you just haven't worn in a while. That is the best one to first try this out on.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Since the mirror sequins were on one side, I chose to make that the back since it seems like it would be a bit more playful than having it be the front and the back being underwhelming.<br />

Grab your teammates, turn it inside out and fold it in half.<br />

<br />
Make sure to fold it as perfectly as you can and match up the seams.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Put your measuring tape at the fold up top and measure down around 9.5 inches (this was the golden number for me after a bit of trial and error with two other kimonos). Remember, the draw to these are they are loose and flowy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaE_vvZQUIg4Ko5Jy86aCYx5nTKHTMSwJWu8inBgV9ZPCGuaS3D22NUnHuENemb7QKDCh2i4sYepkYZoFzUAfAaOOAOIoy2ad2ZFmxQrYKN3bnALoM9Lpv11PRQzKf8jMWjZCgY11OLUC3/s1600/k6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaE_vvZQUIg4Ko5Jy86aCYx5nTKHTMSwJWu8inBgV9ZPCGuaS3D22NUnHuENemb7QKDCh2i4sYepkYZoFzUAfAaOOAOIoy2ad2ZFmxQrYKN3bnALoM9Lpv11PRQzKf8jMWjZCgY11OLUC3/s1600/k6.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
Pin that down, then do the same thing on the other side. This is creating the arm holes.<br />
Also, depending on your level of sewing, you may or may not need to pin along down the sides. I did.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3x3vRiv0pMI0SmjnrPepj68oHtagyB4DbSHEiypejkAGt3kjkkbQGvMPEY-70zkZEUoeuoD7kTU6Hv3-byp-QVRZca9iN_gAaqsSx_2tWH1gwBKVuWeZdFuF7sj-5hcBEfgBW1w9J1gbL/s1600/k7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3x3vRiv0pMI0SmjnrPepj68oHtagyB4DbSHEiypejkAGt3kjkkbQGvMPEY-70zkZEUoeuoD7kTU6Hv3-byp-QVRZca9iN_gAaqsSx_2tWH1gwBKVuWeZdFuF7sj-5hcBEfgBW1w9J1gbL/s1600/k7.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
Now, it is time to sew. I start at the 9.5 inch mark and work my way down, taking out the pins as I go. If using a machine, be sure to back stitch to ensure the seam. This is also where you would hand stitch if you don't have access to a sewing machine.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now, get your measuring tape out and measure the center of your scarf and mark it. You are about to cut <b>THE TOP LAYER ONLY</b> up to the very top of the scarf. This is going to be the opening to the kimono.<br />

Now it is time to sew the seam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You will want to fold over the fabric about 1/4 of an inch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then fold it 1/4 of an inch one more time, so there wont be a frayed edge. You will then sew all the way up, curve around the neck part, then down the other side.<br />
<br />
Unfold it and voila! You have a kimono cardigan that you chose AND you made (for probably a lot less than you could have bought).<br />

So, needless to say, my obsession with these guys is growing hardcore. They would be perfect for a swimsuit coverup. They are also just great when you want to maybe not show off your arms but not have something that feels heavy. They are beyond comfortable and hold a sort of "one size fits most."</div>

This is the first one I made. I had this scarf in my closet and though I wear it often, I didn't think it was really able to be shown off for how pretty it is when it is tied around my neck.<br />

So there you have it, people. A cute and affordable way to restyle something you may already have in your closet. I love to have choices and with this project you are totally in control.</div>

i had the great pleasure of taking photos of the roose wedding in conway at st. joseph's catholic church. it was a great, family-oriented wedding full of some of the most fun people to photograph. here's a montage of some of my favorite moments (i obviously have commitment problems. it's fine.).</div>

Being a teacher, I have been dealing with a dress code every year I have been in school, save college. Sometimes it can be a pain, but for the most part, they aren't that unbearable. One way to overcome some of the more daunting rules in a dress code is to wear things that are vivid, full of personality. I try to do this on the daily because I love my job, and I want my students to know that I take pride in my career and in them by getting up every morning and putting myself together. Maybe that doesn't make sense, but suffice it to say, I allow my wardrobe to be another way for my students to know that they are important to me. A creature of habit, one of my "signature moves" as far as my style goes is mixing prints. Peruse my <a href="http://instagram.com/ladyjordanring">Instagram</a>, and you will see me in a vast array of prints thrown together. I have no shame. Solids were just not made for this heart of mine. #america #liberty #idowhatiwant (but I don't really do what I want, just ask my husband. ha).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Growing up, I learned in Home Ec classes about fashion faux pas and "colors that work well with your skin tone," the do's and don'ts, and the likes. I was always afraid, like many teenagers, that I was wearing the wrong things, wrong colors, wrong everything. What if people stared? What if they thought I was a freak? What if it cost me a date? Back then, I was all about the labels. I was the Abercrombie and Fitch Queen. If it didn't have a big ol' AF or ABERCROMBIE written across the chest, what was the point? I like to think back then that I was trendy, but I didn't really have my own style. Fast forward to going to college in England and living among the natives, and it was then that I fell in love with people with personal style. I saw that, sure, there were trends around, but I didn't feel like there were any RULES. So many people with so much style, wearing their personalities on their sleeves. I found a store there that didn't kill my American checkbook, and before I knew it, my girlfriends and I hit it up a few times a week, and I racked up quite a nice European wardrobe to bring back to the states with me.<br />
<br />
So I don't consider myself an authority on style. I just know what works for me and what I like. So, if you dig what I do, then I have a few guidelines for mixing prints. Before you start thinking that mixing prints is "throw anything you want on and it will totally work because you are a rebel," let me just say: no. There needs to be some structure, or you will end up looking like a homemade quilt. So, class, let's begin. </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Keep your chin up</b>. No one is going to believe you want to be wearing your outfit if you keep your head down and constantly ask people, "is this ok? do I look alright?" They will either think you are A. fishing for compliments...which isn't cute. or B. fishing for validation...which isn't cute, either. I'm no mathematician, but I would wager that about 75% of having style is all about <u>confidence</u>. How do you expect other people to find it worth wearing if you don't, yourself? If you are not 100% sure about what you are wearing and have a fear of ridicule, DON'T WEAR IT, GIRL. DON'T YOU DARE DO IT.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Keep it at most, 3 prints, and one of those should be small and on the neutral side</b>. We all have common sense, but sometimes we forget. I am sure there have been times that I have been out, and people have thought "What is she THINK. ING?" Luckily, the only person I have ever actually heard that from was my mother (hi, Mom. I love you!), which is a whole other blog post. Start off with 2 prints and work your way up. Again, don't go over 3 prints, or you run into clown territory, and no one wants to be The Clown <i>**unless you truly do want to be THE clown and are planning to run away with the circus; in which case: I hope you totally fall in love with someone like Robert Pattinson's character in <u>Water for Elephants</u> because that movie made.me.a.fan (shhh...</i><b>let me have this</b><i>.). You go, girl.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, maybe mixing prints isn't for you, maybe it is, but I think it is a great way to add character to an outfit. And if done correctly, it will be a slamming ensemble. ;)</div>

I have been sorely needing a creative outlet, and I think this will be something fun for me to pour a bit of myself into, so I finally made a new years goal. I anticipate all that is to happen in 2014 but before I do that, I wanted to reflect a bit on 2013. It was precious, precious year for me. A new husband, a new name. I will only look on 2013 with the kindest of thoughts. I found a New Years survey online and thought it would be fun to record some of the big things that happened to me on this newborn blog of mine. Hopefully I will keep this up and have something nice to say next year, too.<br />
<br />
1. What did you do for your birthday?
This year I spent the whole day with my husband. He sleeps later than I do, due to his schedule but I had the day off because it was the first day of our school's Thanksgiving Break. That morning, I snuggled with coffee and had Netflix to myself and later Heath and I went to Chuy's. We had the greatest server who snuck in a piece of Tres Leches on the house. Later that night, Heath and I shared it on the couch. It was such a refreshing day.<br />

<br />
<br />
2. What are your strongest memories from this year, and why?
I got to do some lovely traveling this year. I went on my honeymoon with Heath: London, Paris, and Dublin. Walking through the streets of the cities with Heath was definitely the highlight. Seeing his reaction to all of the amazing places we visited was worth it all. The lowpoint would have to be getting stranded in London sans clean clothes, sans bags, and waiting in the longest line of.my.life to get a plane ride home (That is an entire blog post in and of itself, y'all).<br />
<br />
3. What did you do this year that you had never done before?<br />
I tried my hand at making more homecooked meals. I branched out and it was entirely too much fun making meals for Heath and me. Before him, I ate out a lot because cooking for one is downright depressing<br />

<br />
Longing for Paris, I made macarons for my friend Julie's birthday. They turned out pretty well; they are such pretty, fickle little dudes. :)<br />

4. What did you want and get?<br />
Intimacy. I prayed for someone I could just be with. To exist with, together. Someone who could see all the ugly that comes with me and still want to have me close by. A person who could just sit with me and be the best comfort around. And boy, does Husband fit that bill.<br />

5. What did you want and not get?<br />
A thigh gap ;)<br />
#thestruggle<br />
<br />
6. What would you like to have next year that you didn't have this year?<br />
A new job for Heath that lets him live with me ALL. THE. TIME.<br />
ALL OF IT (amen).<br />
<br />
7. Did you keep your resolutions for last year and will you have more for this year?<br />
My goal for last year was to be content, and I dare say, I did pretty well with this one.<br />
My goals for this year, along with this blog, are:<br />
-to be present, put down my phone all day on Sundays and any time I am with my husband or family/friends<br />
-eat more green foods<br />
-take a walk every day, for my mental health more than my physical health.<br />
-more real photos<br />
-handwritten letters as a mode of communication<br />
<br />
8. What is your biggest achievement this year?<br />
I feel a lot more content in my adult life than I ever have. That is a huge victory for me.<br />
<br />
9. What was your biggest failure?<br />
I can't recall one big massive failure. But sometimes the day-to-day failures feel pretty massive. Lashing out on my husband for things that weren't his fault. The days I just didn't feel like being at school. Being late.<br />
<br />
10. What did you rely on when you were overwhelmed?<br />
That sweet hunk of mine, long talks with my mother, compassionate friends, promises from a loving Savior, and power naps.<br />
<br />
11. What song will remind you of this year?<br />
"Postcards from Italy" by Beirut<br />
It just reminds me of my marriage, and I could listen to that velvety voice any day of the week.<br />

<br />
12. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.<br />
"hey, lets cross the sea and get some culture."<br />
<br />
...for obvious reasons.<br />

"absinthe party at the fly honey warehouse" by minus the bear.<br />
<br />
13. What was your most enjoyable purchase?<br />
Without a doubt, it was tacking on Paris to our honeymoon with train tickets for two. That was a purchase I never doubted.<br />
<br />
14. Did you travel this year? If so, where?<br />
DID I TRAVEL? I DON'T KNOW IF I MENTIONED IT YET.<br />
haha. 2 trips to Paris, 1 trip to London, and 1 trip to Dublin. Ah, I am so ready to go back! :)<br />

<br />
15. What do you wish you had done more of?<br />
Time spent with family. Weekends were reserved for my family before marrying Heath but after we got married, weekends were our main source of time together. Finding a balance was a lot harder than I thought it would be.<br />
<br />
16. What do you wish you had done less of?<br />
Staying up late and getting sucked into Netflix.<br />
Though, I have to say, I'm not sorry. ;)<br />
<br />
17. Compared to this time last year, how are you different?<br />
I would like to say I am a lot more at peace than I was last year. I am not as restless and I am learning to manage things better all around. A big thing I have learned is that admitting I cannot do things alone anymore is not a failure but a sweet thing in life. Also, I think I may be an introvert who is disguised as an extrovert.<br />

<br />
18. How are you the same?<br />
I am still a hot mess and the most unorganized person I know. But I still have a big heart! :)<br />
<br />
19. What is a life lesson you learned this year?<br />
It takes an effort to maintain relationships, friends and the likes. Reaching out is the hard part but staying there is really grand.<br />
<br />
20. Would you relive 2013 if you could?<br />
Without a doubt, absolutely.<br />
