Thoughts on training: Well this time in a week I’ll be on day two of the Avon Walk! Wish me luck! I am not too nervous yet and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing… I will be sure to post a recap when we get back from the trip.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






Oh, Jen. Wow, I am so sorry to hear this. My heart breaks just looking at these photos. I can’t even imagine the emotions you and your family have felt this past year. I’m glad you decided to write and post your thoughts. It’s so important to get those feelings out—and it always helps knowing you’re not alone.
Tornadoes are horribly scary. We have our fair share here in Nebraska, and I work in disaster education and preparedness. Even so, they can occur so quickly and can cause so much devastation in such a short amount of time. And the recovery process certainly takes time. Sending a virtual hug your way!
What a strong and resilient community, so much has been done in only a year. God Bless to all who have toughed it out and rebuilt. So happy for you and your family for surviving this.
Wow! Thank you for sharing. My prayers are with you and all involved.
