this ultrasound was taken at 12 weeks - our first look at baby. i was just going to post a simple picture on instagram and then a few words lead to a lengthy paragraph (or two). apparently i had more to say than what that platform had to offer! so here i am back at the blog. this poor space i left unattended for far too long.  well here's what's going on.  yes, we're

dislaimer: i am by no means a skilled sewist.  i don't sew on a regular basis... but boy do i wish i could! i had some free time yesterday (like i said, two weeks off) and whipped up these pillows. i make it sound so easy, don't i? "i just whipped them up!" really though, they're pretty simple and for that reason i love them all the more. i followed this tutorial for the pillows.

what time of year, you ask? the time where i start blogging more! it's a proven thing. just look at my archives. i think it's because winter is FINALLY over and i come out of hibernation. i always thought i was a fan of the winter, and i am, but i think i've come to realize that i like my spring, summer, and fall more. here's what's going on right now. i have two weeks off from

i can't believe it's already march. this year has already brought trials and so many blessings. let's play catch up. j a n u a r y // traveled to seoul in a moment's notice for my aunt's funeral. it was a very trying time for my family. however, i'm so grateful for that time with family that i haven't seen in close to 20 years. jake is the best for letting me go. // started driving

Here's my obligatory New Year's post for 2013. I may have stopped blogging for a bit but life still goes on. I'm excited to ring in the New Year and at the same time sad to see 2013 go. It was a good one. Like one of the best years of my life. I don't know how much merit that has considering there have only been 23 years of my life...but that's kinda saying that 22 other years didn't measure

That's a good question! It's been, what, a month since I last shared anything?  So many exciting things are happening in these parts, friends. I left the studio I formerly taught at and have been privately teaching from my home. I am teaching more now than I was at the studio, which is crazy to me and awesome! {Don't underestimate the power of word-of-mouth.} Working from home is

i got to fulfill one of my 23 before 24 goals! hurray!  jake, a few friends, and i were able to head down the niobrara river in the middle of july. it was a long drive to get to valentine, nebraska. fortunately, we had enough episodes of the vampire diaries to get us there. coming back we weren't so lucky.  it was definitely an experience. a six hour long experience! by the end

Jake made this little slideshow for our wedding. Some might call it destiny or fate, but it still amazes me to see God's hand in our lives leading us to each other in His perfect timing. Wedding Video from Hannah Jensen on Vimeo. It seems that Jake chose to put more embarrassing photos of me than himself in this slideshow... I might need to create my own as a rebuttal. ;)

I realized I've yet to post anything for July! So here are all our July happenings. ^^Friends came over for the Fourth of July to celebrate in our homely backyard. It may not look very homely in these pictures but we worked our butts off to get it to look somewhat presentable. I'm talking weeds like you've NEVER seen before. ^^We tore out the carpet on the main floor of our

charlie gets hot so easily now that it's warming up outside, it's a bulldog thing. so jake and i thought she could use a little pool to lounge in. turns out she is pretty sporty! the best part is watching her ears as she dives in... she looks like she could fly away.  yes, we spoil her. hannah

I've been dying to get my hands on Gwyneth Paltrow's new cookbook It's All Good. The book features many gluten-free and vegan recipes that actually sound appetizing. Still haven't ordered it but I found this recipe from the book and made these bad boys. Now I'm really dying to purchase it! Try this one out and tell me what you think. I'll bet you go buy the book before I get the chance

this weekend we gave a go at camping.. in our backyard. backyard camping has to be one of the better versions of camping. better because when a thunderstorm hits at 3 am and your tent starts taking on water, you can head inside your dry house for cover. also, you and friends can gather in your kitchen the next morning to drink coffee and eat crepes. yep. it's good stuff. hannah

the weather here in the midwest has been crazy. it snowed last week. apparently it's the first time  it has snowed in may in 60 years or something crazy like that.  then the weather was beautiful. i think spring has finally come... and i welcome her with open arms.  last weekend i finally graduated from college. this weekend i will celebrate my 23rd birthday

we got our wedding photos last week and it's been so fun looking through them. everyone tells you that your wedding day goes by so fast... and they're right. it really is just a blur. it's great having awesome photos to help you relive that day. here are a few favorites that The Mullers took for us. at the end of the day we were married!  and very much

today i said goodbye to my closest friend of nearly 15 years. it was and is hard, but i have some peace knowing that she lived a long and full life. she was my constant companion and the reason that i'm set on always having a dog in my life (more specifically a flat-nosed dog). even though the Bible doesn't talk about animals being in heaven, i have to believe that there is some place

this past saturday the weather here was so nice that we were able to take charlie to the dog park for the first time! i think every other dog owner in lincoln was there too. not to brag but i'm pretty sure charlie was the star of the dog park that day.  with that being said... i love my puppy. i love my puppy because now i have an excuse to go to the dog park

I introduced Charlie in my last post but here's how we came to acquire her. Jake and I had been talking about getting a dog for a while and were stuck between a Boston Terrier and an English bulldog. We decided to wait a few months after we were married so that we could save up some money, especially if we were going to be adopting an English Bulldog, but always found ourselves looking
