A Look Back at Our 2017

2017, our year of *Hope & Hearts*

2017 has been quite a year for our PB&J family. We've experienced love, laughter, happy and sad tears and found the meaning of what means the most to us: *Hope & Hearts*

Weathering Storms and Finding Rainbows (Again)

They say the brightest rainbows come after the strongest of storms.


Our rainbow journey is a true testament to this statement. The beginning of 2017 found ourselves dealing with the loss of our angel son. Mid 2017 we then found a rainbow with our little miracle on the way. To say that we experienced some of the lowest lows and highest highs of our lives during 2017 is an understatement. For each one of these moments though, we are thankful. Our journey has shown us how much love their is in the world, that no matter what there is always HOPE.

This couldn't have been true enough during some recent events during our journey. Just when we thought our rainbow journey to our family happily ever after was finally coming to a close with the birth of our son, we were hit with some unexpected news....

Baby Bumps & a Little Check In

It's time for a pregnancy check in! We've officially hit the third trimester with Baby PB&J and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Each day has felt like such a blessing with our little rainbow and we're cherishing every moment as the days pass!

With all the *Hope & Hearts* in the world, we're overjoyed to announce that we're expecting a little rainbow.... arriving January 2018!

May 11, 2017

May 11, 2017. This may seem like an average day to some, but to us.... this day would have possibly marked the day we would have welcomed our son into the world. Today would have been my due date.


Granted, we know that it's only a small percentage of parents that actually give birth on their actual due date, but to us, the significance of this day means the world to us. This is the last day of what would have been my pregnancy journey. So sitting here writing this and knowing that this journey is finally over in literal "pregnancy days" and the outcome isn't what we thought it would be... shatters our hearts.

Please forgive me if this post is all over the place, I'm trying my best to write from the heart.

Happy PB&J Day!

Today is April 2nd, and that means it's #NationalPeanutButterandJellyDay! Woohoo! No, I'm not making this awesome holiday up, it's real! While technically it's a day celebrating the beloved sandwich, PB and I like to think of it as our own little day, too since we're so connected to the name.

I can't believe a little cheesy joke made by PB during our early dating days: "Hey, did you know our initials spell out 'PB&J', it's perfect because we go together like Peter Butter and Jelly Jenn..." ended up sticking with us and eventually morphed into who we're known as a couple, today! To celebrate PB&J day, here's a look back at some of our favorite PB&J duo moments and memories over the years!

Welcome to our PB&J Adventure Book!

Welcome to our PB&J happy place! This is a space for us to continue our PB&J adventures, stories and fun from my PBandJellyJenn page on Instagram.


Why PB&J?
Let me start by introducing ourselves. I'm Jenn or "J" from PB&J. My other half is Peter or "PB". Together we make up the duo of PB&J. You may ask, "why PB&J"? The story goes... way back when, I mean, really back in the day when we were just two college students in the dating phase. Peter had made a random joke about how our initials made up PB&J and how it was "perfect because we go together like peanut butter and jelly!". You can say the name sort of stuck with us over the years and evolved into the identity that most of you know us by today!

Our PB&J Happily Ever After...
We're just your average married couple, with an above average love for Disney. Although I have to admit that I'm a *little* more obsessed than PB is about the magic, but being the great other half he is, he gives into my Disney cray to make me happy. We love Disney so much that a majority of our relationship milestones have taken place at Disneyland over the years! From our first "I love you", the marriage proposal, our wedding (yes, you can get married at Disneyland!) and most recently an epic 5 year surprise anniversary inside Disneyland. More to come on these events at a later time, but to sum it up, we infuse Disney into our lives... a lot!

I'm sure 90% of my future posts will be involving something Disney related, whether a Disney adventure recap, merchandise reveal, style find, or just general Disney geekery.


#PBJTravels
We're also a duo that loves to travel. There's nothing more exciting than getting on a plane with a fun destination in store. One of the best parts of starting this blog is to be able to recap and share all of our travels. One of our most favorite destinations in the world is Tokyo! I get a lot questions about this particular travel spot, so i'll be covering more this locale soon.



Hope, Hearts & #PBJstrong
We've definitely had our share of exciting moments over the years, but most recently we've experienced something that no one should ever have to face. In September 2016 we found out our PB&J duo was turning into a trio. We were pregnant with a baby boy. At 20 weeks and 4 days we were told by doctors that our son had a serious and rare congenital heart defect. The next few weeks turned out to be the most painful and darkest days of our lives. Our baby boy passed in early January 2017 and we've been on a healing path ever since. This was another major reason for starting this blog. Being open about our loss and being able to share our journey has truly helped my own personal path to healing. This is a space for sharing our entire PB&J story, both with all the highs and the lows that may come our way.
#PBJstrong for our son. Forever and always in our hearts.


Stay Tuned...
