Meet Jenn:

My name is Jenn, an early 30’s girl from Texas and Florida. I currently reside in Lillington, North Carolina (yet again) with my husband Lee and our cats Elenor, Pearl, and Cinder. I am a veteran of the U.S. Army who was medically retired after 5 years. I served as an Air Traffic Controller and spent 2 years at Fort Bragg, NC, 1 year in Afghanistan, and 2 years in Germany. I currently wear many hats in my life because I don't know how to NOT be busy. I recently graduated with my Bachelors in Marketing and then my MBA in Entrepreneurship. I have a full time job as the Veterans of Foreign Wars Department Quartermaster for the Department of North Carolina.  

SOME THINGS ABOUT ME:

1. Although I've been interested in crafting for years. I dabble in several different types of crafts including card making, pocket scrapbooking, various forms of memory keeping, photography, sewing, and painting.

2. I have 15 tattoos and a half sleeve. I plan on getting more. And eventually finishing my half-sleeve. 

3. I am quite a nerd. The list of things I love is quite extensive... and deserves a post of it's own I think. Here is a little taste though. Harry Potter, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Batman, the Avengers, J.R.R. Tolkien, anything Halloween, Disney, Pixar, and many more.

4. I love to cook and the unbelievable part is I didn't care for it until I was 18 years old. My favorite thing to do is make yummy meals for friends and family. "Family dinners" with our closest friends are a thing in our house. 

5. I joined the Army on the delayed entry program in February 2010. I went to basic in July of 2010, and have spent the next 4.5 years of my life at Fort Bragg, Afghanistan, and Germany. While I am sad that my time in the military ended (31 December 2015), I am excited to move on to the next part of my life and see what it brings. 

6. I have always had a love of photography and a history of terrible memory. In 2014, those two aspects of my life came together in the form of pocket scrapbooking when I discovered two lovely ladies: Ali Edwards and Kristin Tweedale. It's all been history since then. I make an effort to focus on documenting memories, big and small, in any way that I see fit.  

7. I am a Spoonie. This means that I suffer from a chronic neuromuscular nerve pain disorder called Fibromyalgia, I have Degenerative Disk Disease, Scoliosis in my back, GERD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, rosecea, and the most recent addition to most recent addition to my list is ADHD.

8. I like to read and I take copious amounts of notes. I have a crappy memory sometimes, so I work best off of notes. I have a TON of notebooks laying around, full of various things. If you ever see me in public with a bag, there is a good bet that I have at least one notebook with me. :) It also helps with a disorganized brain. My newest obsession with this is the Hobonichi Weeks and Stalogy notebooks!

9.  My better half is also an Army veteran (he was a combat medic for a field artillery unit) We got married at the beginning of 2017 and it has been an adventure ever since. He’s worked for a couple of amazing bands (both as a tech, stage manager, and an actual drummer) and we’ve met some amazing people along the way!

10. I have sometimes odd tastes in music: I love rock, country, Disney, and musicals.

So please send me an email, leave me a comment, or hit me up on social media. I would love to get to know you and make new friends. Thank you for stopping by!!
