Money, Money, Money...

I wish that everything didn't revolve around money. It's wonderful when you have it, it makes you appreaciate the little things when you don't. It's good and it's bad, but my family seems to take it a little too seriously. My dad's always had enough (ever since he was able to work) and I have not. My chosen profession...esthetician...he doesn't really think it's real. It doesn't make enough, it doesn't have enough benefits. Sure those things are important, but isn't the most important thing to be happy with the life that you've made for yourself and live for the ones you love and the things that make you the happiest? If you make a lot of money, but hate what you do, is it worth it? I just don't think so.

All Aboard!

It was freezing last night. Not a shocking thing, since it is January in the Midwest. Still though, 18 degrees is too cold for me! I haven't been able to wear my cute fall/spring clothes anymore haha, I have to resort the boring old jeans so I don't freeze! Anywho... Erik and I went downtown last night to the Durham Museum. I'd never been there before, and never really heard anything about it, come to find out- it's the old train station! It was beautiful inside, art deco design. I loved it.

(no, i didn't take that picture, i googled it :-))
But the reason we went was to see, the exhibit called The Cut. It had a bunch of costumes they used in famous movies...like Pirates of the Caribbean! Unfortunatly, we couldn't take any pictures. But I did get some good ones just walking around in the museum!

We had a super fun time! (we always do!) I think it's important to enjoy life, even when you're just doing nothing. Happiness is key! Hope you all are happy and enjoying life as well!

always an adventure

Yesterday was so much fun! Erik and I went to Lincoln to the telephone museum. You guys might know it from the movie Yes Man with Zooey Deschanel and Jim Carrey. It was a teeny little place and it's only open on Sundays. The man that was there was super nice and told us a little bit about the history. I for sure reccomend it if you ever find yourself in Lincoln, Nebraska on a boring Sunday! :-)

After the museum, we went to a little town to pick up some wheels for Erik's hot rod. We took some creeper pictures there...

haha it's always an adventure with us! Hope you all are enjoying your week just like I am!

just another thursday

I am so looking forward to the spring. Here in Nebraska we've been pretty lucky so far, no real winter weather to speak of- until now. It's cold, it's windy, it's wet. I have to say, as great as it is to just curl up inside with a good book and a cute puppy, I am soooo ready for nice weather!

Good Times Ahead

So, I never ever post on here. My new years resolution is to change that. Hopefully that will happen. (we'll see ;-)) Here's a couple pictures of me and my adorable puppy Vega to get things started in the new year!

Hope you all are having a great start to the new year! More to come soon :-)

que sera sera

Last thursday my boyfriend and i set out on a road trip to rapid city, sd. we were going to look at the hot rod institute for him to see if he might possibly want to go there. it was going to be a great time! and it started out that way, lots of fun and lots of highway, which we love :-) it was all great like that until about 4 hrs into the trip my car decided to lose oil pressure. We had to stop in a little town called ainsworth and fix my problem, which took 2 days. We ended up deciding not to keep on truckin and head back home instead. i felt horrible about it, but my boyfriend was awesome and said we'd just try to go again another time. I did manage to get some pictures of the lovely town that we were in though lol, here they are!

well, hope everybody has a super day!

peace & love- jordan :-)

let's fly away

so this is just a few pictures of me from the other day before work. i think the mixture of boredom and a digital camera worked well together.

the last one was kind of a practice shot, but i liked it anyways. today we're having another snow day here in the midwest. it was horrible out last nite! definate blizzard conditions. i would more than love to go live somewhere south were that isn't the norm for winter. i guess we just have to roll with the punches though! well, i hope that everbody has a super day with whatever you're doing and whoever you're with! i'm off to go color my hair!

peace & love
