Jim & Pam: The Office Love Story.

Jim & Pam: The Office Love Story from Jessica Kennedy on Vimeo.

because i will always & forever love pam & jim. because i watched all of my favorite office episodes over spring break & because even though i've seen them a hundred times, they will always make me teary. (& most of all, because i'm a nerd & a sucker for sitcoms & romance.)

"with grace in your heart & flowers in your hair."

every time i hear that someone is going through a breakup i want to give them a huge hug like the one above. strangers, classmates, that crazy man on the bus, celebrities, best friends. all of them. 

i want to give them a big hug & tell them it will be okay, that their hearts will smile again. 

but i know how hard it is to believe that. i know what it is like to feel absolutely left out in the cold.  i know that you have to take it one day at a time & i know that sometimes you just have to cry. 

but i also know that the sun does come back. that you will get butterflies over new boys. that you will be giddy about a new first date. (& that on that date, you will not think of your ex. not one bit.)  that one morning you will wake up genuinely happy about what's ahead. that you will find love.  that your heart does heal- that your wings just get stronger.  that you come out on the other side a smarter, happier girl.  that you will find yourself not wanting to change any of it for the world- because it helped you get to the you you are today. 

that even when you think you have a better idea about what you want in life, you don't.  that there are extraordinary things waiting for you.  that you have no clue what God has in store for you & that things must fall apart, twist & turn to lead you to the exact place you are meant to be. with the exact person you are meant to be with.

i promise.

xoxoxoxo.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Mmmm... the sweet sweet smell of spring break. the sights, the beautiful sunshine, rising late in the morn...

spring break is a wonderful time of the year indeed. 

 but my f-a-v-o-r-i-t-e part? having time to blog! & finally telling you all the exciting things i've been hiding up my sleeves---

first off, i've been significantly busy trying to arrange a lot of things. like, ya know, au pairing in Germany starting this summer! i decided to look for potential au pair summer jobs after i returned from the UK. (ok, really i signed up for sites the second day i was in the UK...)

after straightening out some minor details & finding a lovely family, it's official! i'm leaving may 17th to spend time with my dear Love, Deutschland. 

i don't think i could be anymore excited. i am ready to meet the sweet little ones & teach them english. (teaching english to little german children has been a long standing dream of mine. see! dreams do come true. everyday.)

so dear friends, I am about to go on a full-fledged adventure! can you believe it? because i can't. nope. still waiting to wake up from this dream of goodness. the best part? i'll have time to still blog- it's going to be the BEST.

I am a poor planner. That is why I have no Sunday Sweets this week.  I lost track of time, took a far too long nap & managed to spend the whole night working on a project for school. acks! I am bummed, I am tired, but most of all, I miss You & I am sorry for being so scatter-brained.

Happy March!
