Life Update – Summer 2020

July 31, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

Well, it has definitely been a hot minute – aka 2 months… I took an unexpected break because, well, life was crazy! The past few months I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Between four summer classes, visitors, moving, and more, I honestly haven’t had 2 seconds to myself in a long time. Needless to say between personal life and the world in general at the moment, I was/am incredibly stressed out and was not in the right headspace to post a lot.

In August I want to try to get back into the swing of things, now that life is getting to a new normal. So today I figured I would give you a bit of a life update so you can see what I have been up to. 

June:

  • My best friend came to visit us in Florida – and we had a blast together!
  • I was (and am still) completing work weekly for four online summer classes – this semester has been a literal nightmare and I can’t wait to graduate in December.
  • My family came came to visit and we went on a mini vacation which consisted of a Disney resort, SeaWorld, Palm Beach, and Discovery Cove.
  • We packed countless boxes to move.

July:

  • Grant and I decided to go to Universal Orlando – his first time ever! We had such a good time and I am so glad we got to go before we moved.
  • My parents came back to Florida one week after they left to help us move.
  • We went to Magic Kingdom one last time for the Passholder Preview – and it was amazing.
  • We moved!

Oh, I also haven’t mentioned on the blog that on July 1st I OPENED AN ONLINE BOUTIQUE!

Starting a boutique is something I have wanted to do for a long time, I just never knew if it was going to happen and when. I am not gonna lie, we probably look crazy for starting this during a pandemic. But months of research was happening way before the pandemic, and if you wait for the “right time” to follow your dreams, it will probably never happen.

I am so proud of Modern Prep and I can’t wait to see how it grows and where it takes us. We will be launching a new collection of jewelry and accessories tomorrow (August 1st) and I can’t wait for y’all to see it. Make sure you follow the boutique on Instagram @ShopModernPrep, and check out the website ShopModernPrep.com and sign up for our email list to get exclusive offers and updates!

I know this is definitely a crazy time and everything, including me, has been anything but consistent. But I can’t express enough how much you all mean to me and how thankful I am for you all. I hope you are all doing well, and I can’t wait to create more for y’all.

Cheers!

xoxo
Jayme

Last week I was supposed to be graduating from the Last week I was supposed to be graduating from the fertility clinic I’ve been getting treatment at since January. Instead we were told our baby girl no longer had a heartbeat. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time to be thankful, and this year that is extremely difficult. 

For the rest of our lives we will question why this happened to us. We’ll wonder who she would’ve looked more like? What color would her eyes have been? Would she have loved the things we loved? I will yearn for you forever, baby girl. A piece of our hearts will always be with you, our first baby, now in heaven.

I’m sharing this not for pity or for attention, in fact I’ve felt very embarrassed to share. But I noticed after sharing my IVF journey a few months ago it opened a door for conversation. Conversations with people who have been through it, are going through it, or are curious about the process. These conversations are so important to break the stigma of fertility treatment regardless of your age or diagnosis. While I don’t share every detail of my journey, I’m choosing to share this to show it’s not always a straight and narrow path. 

So if you’re reading this and resonate, my heart is with you. You are not alone. You did nothing wrong. If you’re reading this and know someone going through it - I urge you to reach out. Whether it’s to tell them you’re thinking of them, or whether you’re offering a helping hand. This experience is isolating, scary, and confusing. I promise you that if someone has shared their journey with you and you decide to stay silent, it hurts.
