As many of you know, I am in the process of moving to a new part of Long Beach and into a new apartment. It is a one bedroom located in the historical district in LB and an area bustling with activity and energy! It is two blocks from the boardwalk on Ocean Blvd. and I am excited to enjoy walks and jogs along the boardwalk. I realize that God has blessed me abundantly in finding this place and gee! I cannot stop pinching myself! :) I feel as though it will be a nurturing place to continue growing into the woman God is calling me to be. I look forward to opening my new home to friends and family alike and sharing memories of fun, laughter, and depth. I am learning that God brings newness into our lives in many ways to continue to bless us and continue to enrich our lives as well...change is always inevitable...change leaves us challenged and expectant of well...newness. Newness brings with it an element of HOPE...and it is with true hope that I move forward in my life and with my belongings into my new home. It's like unwrapping a beautiful gift...what will I find inside! I can't wait to explore what's ahead...<div><br /></div><div>"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see..."</div><div>Hebrews 11:1</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks, friends and fam, for your support in this move! </div><div>I have about two more weeks 'til school begins...lots to be done, yes, and lots to enjoy!</div><div>Take care, Ciao!</div>Jill Zakaryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04983997936428895348noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885971365262811476.post-89834534662579387982010-06-26T14:05:00.000-07:002010-07-03T00:28:11.277-07:00Summer Sentiments...Summer has officially begun. Dad and I kicked off our summer with a terrific trip to Texas! We spent precious moments with family and well, ate our way through the trip!! :) Always good food had in Texas! Dad's favorite meal was at Babe's, where we enjoyed endless fried chicken. Most importantly, we were able to spend great time with Honey! Honey was in good spirits! I love my grandmother so much...it was wonderful to share conversation with her and be by her side...I love you, Honey!! I would like to extend a thank you to all of my family in Texas for their hospitality and gracious nature in providing for such a memorable and blessed visit for my dad and myself. MUCH appreciated...and needed!<div><br /></div><div>Being in Texas, I am surrounded by all that reminds me of my mother...it was her favorite, it was her love, it was her home. Lately, I am simply missing so many of the little things that I shared with my mom....things like always having a listening ear, a Starbuck's buddy, our daily talks after the school day, shopping together at Nordy's and having a distinctly, reliable, second opinion in the dressing room :) Sunday brunch at Polly's and splurging on massages...and of course, her abundantly, nurturing hugs! I am thankful for my mom's loving spirit and the many ways she taught me to love, give, and experience all that is around me. Again, I would like to extend gratitude to my mother for putting love first...giving and receiving...</div><div><br /></div><div>I know that I will always miss my mom, this is all still new...as I journey through this summer, I would like to prayerfully venture on the road of beginning to heal in meaningful ways. I am committing to staying patient with myself but I feel joy in embracing God's healing power. </div><div><br /></div><div>My dad and I are headed to Kuai in the morning! So, I will update you all on our adventures upon our return! Aloha! :)</div>Jill Zakaryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04983997936428895348noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885971365262811476.post-10518793089111630322010-05-13T11:09:00.000-07:002010-05-13T12:27:51.058-07:00Mom...You are Deeply Missed...Last Thursday, my mom was honored and remembered in a profound way. Our family was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and the presence of those celebrating her life. In light of the pain we are experiencing, the memorial Thursday brought joy to our hearts to see our mom, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, grandma, sister, sister-in-law, and friend in so many eloquent and touching ways treasured...it was deeply evident that my mother had touched many lives...as our family greeted those attending the memorial, I had the pleasure of welcoming two of her current students and I couldn't help but think that these were just two of those that may be attending and two of the many that Mom had left a lasting impression with...for Mom truly taught from her heart...she loved her students dearly and not only wanted the best for them but challenged them to give and do their best, as well. She loved opening that door to Room 307 and welcoming her students in... :) Teaching was her joy!<div><br /></div><div>Our preacher did a superb job sharing about Mom and capturing essentially her life story. It was one of the greatest gifts that he could have given to us...to allow those attending to even grow to know Mom more. Dad, Brent and myself all spoke too. Below, I would like to post the words I shared at my mother's memorial...these are my words for Mom, inspired by God.</div><div><br /></div><div>My Words to Mom...</div><div><br /></div><div>My mom was in every way beautiful...She lived with grace, poise, and elegance but most of all, in a word, my dear mom was deeply selfless. She embodied the heart of Christ and gave her endless energies to care, help, serve, love, and give to all she knew. As her fellow English teacher, I reflect in countless ways that she was, and always will be MY ultimate teacher and example; for she truly showed me how to live a beautiful life. I know and thank God for the truth that Mom is at peace in Heaven with my Grandad and many loved ones...as she always called me her "angel"...I know intimately that she will always be my "angel."</div><div><br /></div><div>I love you, Mom!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Philippians 2:1-4</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>My mom is deeply missed and always will be...but she will be with me in all I do and wherever I may go...for her legacy lives on in me...</div><div><br /></div><div>much love, jill</div><div>P.S. Thank you ALL for treasuring my mom alongside me...</div><div><br /></div>Jill Zakaryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04983997936428895348noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885971365262811476.post-1732858709899779952010-01-08T21:50:00.000-08:002010-01-10T14:13:21.031-08:00A-Terrific-Texas-Thanksgiving!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXDO3xJsHY5wrNkxcLOj1uqQNAfb8ebgPXwlYiTUE3sGPyrzzRAiUsbX2xjw1_SOncoojIG4AAFLog22WHH1VKbQzzWvRxgTGX9ZxACp3xpS_WgbN4G20kJWCqAxsTcRSH62XhEfnKBVE/s1600-h/DSCN4365.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXDO3xJsHY5wrNkxcLOj1uqQNAfb8ebgPXwlYiTUE3sGPyrzzRAiUsbX2xjw1_SOncoojIG4AAFLog22WHH1VKbQzzWvRxgTGX9ZxACp3xpS_WgbN4G20kJWCqAxsTcRSH62XhEfnKBVE/s320/DSCN4365.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425233044604193426" border="0" /></a>Brent's yummy homemade pumpkin pie! :)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This year, we spent Thanksgiving in Texas!

I shared this love with my Drill Team recently...my brownies were a hit :) and one of my girls made a curious comment, which frames this blog...she said, "Now, you can get married!" This sparked my thinking that maybe there's a master list that exists that all young women need to complete to reach the pinnacle of being a candidate for marriage...truly...I want to know...what is on this list? I suppose the good news is, I have one thing crossed off-BROWNIES :) Now of course, this is all said in tongue and cheek ;) but all those in my life know that it is a matter close at heart...My 29th birthday was fabulous! I really want to thank all of my friends and family for making my 29th bday so special. Thanks for such nice gifts, cards, calls, facebook messages, etc...I went to Disneyland for my actual birthday and yes-got in totally FREE! I invested in an annual pass so if anyone wants to hang out at Disneyland, let me know! :) The holiday decor is in full swing! There is nothing like a magical walk up Main Street with all the lights, smells and people starting to line the streets waiting for the parade. :) Love it!<br /><br />29! A new year!

I came across a random piece of writing that was at some point turned in during my freshman year at Pepperdine. I don't recall the specific assignment nor the specific course it accompanied. I would like to share part of it with you, as I feel it is a glowing glimpse into my heart at that time in my life... :)<br /><br /><br />"The other day, as I proceeded hurriedly to my Freshman Seminar course, I was unexpectedly broadsided with the ocean's insurmountable beauty. The breathtaking spectacle stopped me dead in my tracks. Obviously, I'd viewed the ocean since I had been here, however, this was entirely different. I don't think it had ever appeared as gorgeous. The blue-green mass that spread before my feet actually sparkled as if each pinnacled ripple of water possessed a strand of glittering diamonds. My heart glowed as my eyes beheld God's miraculous creation. I asked myself what I had done to deserve all of this? " How could I be so lucky to attend Pepperdine and meet such peace in my life and faith? Is anyone really supposed to be so content?" God has and continues to go above and beyond merely providing for me. He relentlessly fills my life with countless blessings and I stand in awe of His mercy.<br /><br />When finally choosing this university I knew that with every inch of my existence I needed to trust God alone. As I asked once before, "How did they get my name and why was I included?" The answers stand crystal clear now: by the sheer grace of God. My sole protector and provider astounds me again with His compassion. For He has bestowed upon me a lifetime of riches and priveleges by placing Pepperdine in my life. I know now, to an even greater extent, that you must lean upon no one but your Heavenly Father for He does know the way. I may not have followed anyone's lead in choosing Pepperdine but I have trusted the lead of one noble teacher. I walked towards Pepperdine in faith alone "And that has made all of the difference."Jill Zakaryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04983997936428895348noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885971365262811476.post-44164987545139965112009-08-03T19:27:00.000-07:002009-08-04T01:25:26.898-07:00Mammoth Moments...<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBG-OFgJUN1kqKICPoPabLEWAnzJl83woHIVlnw-2DgeGSGGmod3uMkTzCdJqURbW1dpE5kg1j9sc95Q19I5Ok6j5QCq5Vgg4F_ePwImgCEkpAU0mFCJB7StXeQpTl2701hzXTlQl-oL4/s1600-h/DSCN4023.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365933606583801970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBG-OFgJUN1kqKICPoPabLEWAnzJl83woHIVlnw-2DgeGSGGmod3uMkTzCdJqURbW1dpE5kg1j9sc95Q19I5Ok6j5QCq5Vgg4F_ePwImgCEkpAU0mFCJB7StXeQpTl2701hzXTlQl-oL4/s320/DSCN4023.JPG" border="0" /></a>Jill and Carli-I always enjoy time with Carli...She is unique in that she always makes you feel so special! :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20afeqCK4FP9c6XiaWNifPyT6qc2CtzVXDxqdLvFTGNSpsU9wBbZf5ldtcln-_JE9Xc7SO2S46jDLBPhwF4t8l8Agnm5oWMfqc0xibbYaTeEJ7ybUsbKjw7RHDKMA51mbS4-AdVinFQg/s1600-h/DSCN4027.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365933596508964034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20afeqCK4FP9c6XiaWNifPyT6qc2CtzVXDxqdLvFTGNSpsU9wBbZf5ldtcln-_JE9Xc7SO2S46jDLBPhwF4t8l8Agnm5oWMfqc0xibbYaTeEJ7ybUsbKjw7RHDKMA51mbS4-AdVinFQg/s320/DSCN4027.JPG" border="0" /></a> One the most notable moments during the weekend, was our time devoted in laying hands on and praying for one another.

It has been a good while since updating my blog...thanks for stopping by for the full summer update! :) It has been an eventful time. About a minute after school finished up, my parents and I turned around and headed for Texas to visit the fam. We had a great stay...enjoying the delicious Southern food (many splurges!), great time with my grandmother, Honey, helping Ashley get settled in her new apartment and just relaxing lots. And of course, having some yummy fried okra! :) I love spending time in the Lonestar State because I am with so many I love...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_t2PhYn5ue0w3O9JRrRFjw_hoHDtX9HiWiGAnQfU6CU5H9K7VXG8I0K0UeZOvxqmNHQVNctgnOeFp1YNT3Tf71sSls-fIf9MD8iMkSuAmNnTcW3TnDrF7J1BLYpXNR2RBNFR15jod9mI/s1600-h/DSCN3936.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363304850095393458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 339px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_t2PhYn5ue0w3O9JRrRFjw_hoHDtX9HiWiGAnQfU6CU5H9K7VXG8I0K0UeZOvxqmNHQVNctgnOeFp1YNT3Tf71sSls-fIf9MD8iMkSuAmNnTcW3TnDrF7J1BLYpXNR2RBNFR15jod9mI/s320/DSCN3936.JPG" border="0" /></a>Concert-in-the-Garden is a longstanding Ft.

It is my hope to share my hopes, dreams, moments, memories and life with those I love and care most about...and well, just anyone who may be curious about me. As we begin 2009, I want to begin by starting this new mode of celebrating my life and all its blessings! Thank you for stopping by and stay posted for upcoming blogs! :)<br /><br />"For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light."
