A Moment

There are photos that I take that capture more than just a face.  There are photos that I take, that capture a moment in my life.  This was one of those photos.

I took this last summer, in Woodstock.  I remember we were walking on Tinker St, going to get pizza.  I remember looking over at Tom, and feeling suprised to see him. Which is weird, because we are together 7 years.  But, his eyes were bright and his mood was light and his smile and walk were so true and so strong. 

That is one of the best parts of my relationship.  The newness that comes along and hits me at the strangest moments.  It never gets old.

A Tuesday Night Sunset

Not on vacation.
Not on a Friday night.
A Tuesday night sunset.
Just one of the reasons I love this boy.

Tom

A collage of sorts, using a picture I took of Tom in Woodstock. I love this picture. He looks relaxed and happy. Woodstock does that to a person.

The Guy Makes Me Laugh

Your Beautiful.

Your beautiful.
More beautiful than then the prettiest flower I've ever seen.
Flowers don't look at me the way you do.
And I know there will never be another bloom like you.
Your scent is of the purest form.
And your eyes of light are where my heart was born.
Your beautiful.
And your perfect for me.

My hubby. A long time ago. It's hard for me to picture him then. I guess that's because I know him now. The person he is now. Thirty years later. Thirty years different?

I did a little editing on this one, just to fit my taste. Those school pictures just aren't personal enough, you know what I mean?

A Recent Letter Tom had to Send...

On February 12th 2009, as I was driving to work, a tree that was on the town of Islip’s property in New York fell on my car. The car was a pristine 20 year old Porsche 944S with 67,000 original miles. The car had been pampered it’s whole “life” and won several best of class awards given by the Porsche club of America in 2005 and 2006. I purchase the car the previous year for $8,000 and had only put 1,300 miles on it since I owned it. The tree that fell on the car caused damage to the roof, windshield, passenger door but I was not injured other than some glass in my hand. I had the car taken to a reputable body shop and their estimate was that the car would cost about $6000 or more to fix. They said that it was a particularly expensive job because the tree had damaged the roof. The auto body shop charged me over $400 to have the car towed to the shop and then back to my home. Since it was second vehicle there was no need for me to rent a car.
At the scene of the accident I immediately filed a report with the Suffolk County Police (central complaint # 09-70661). After that I called the town and filed a report with the Town of Islip’s Police officer (complaint # 09-0444) and he advised me to contact the Islip town attorney’s office. The Islip town attorney’s office advised me they would mail out a accident report for me to fill and further advised me to include the estimate from the auto body shop. I filled out their form and let them know that I had no collision insurance on the car.
One week later an employee from the town of Islip department of transportation came to my job and had me point the tree out to him. He told me the tree was rotted and needed to come down. They marked the tree with paint but as of March 9th, 2009 have yet to remove it.
Today, March 9th 2009, I received a letter from the Town of Islip advising me that they feel they have absolutely no responsibility for the damage to my car.
Now I have no choice but to pay out of my pocket for a lawyer to dispute what should have been a clean claim for the damage done to my property by the Town of Islip’s tree

If a tree that is on my property falls on someone and destroys their property I would be liable, so why does the Town of Islip think they are above the law?

Regards,

Thomas Jorgensen

DH, is this your long lost brother, TJ?

Tom is a huge Daryl Hall fan. Probably the biggest one out there.

I sometimes think he looks a lot like him.

My forecast...this is what Tom will look like in about 15 years...A little Daryl..a little Tom....ahhhh yeah!

Simply Saturday

Today I am so grateful for...a simple Saturday.

Today was a simple Saturday. We worked on stuff around the house. Ate mac and cheese. Went to the thrift store. Watched TV. Talked about our fur kids. Danced a little. Laughed a little.

Simple Saturday's with Tom are always the most exciting for me.

I adore this man. I look over at him, snoozing on the chair and I think, how did I get this lucky? Me. Jenn. Lucky.

He is the most interesting, most beautiful man I have ever met.

He makes me laugh. He makes cry(the good kind). He makes me excited for the future and ok with my past. He makes everything make sense.

Even the things that never made sense before, make sense now.

I am thankful for, fascinated by and crazy in love with the man snoozing next to me.

I'm simply....a girl, in love with boy...
