If you scour my yearbooks from 6th grade until my senior year in high school, you will only find my photo in two yearbooks. I used to go to great lengths to avoid having my picture taken when I was younger. I remember going to extremes in order to miss picture day, from faking sick […]

I sat there frozen in disbelief as Cody knelt down in front of me with a tiny box in-hand. Looking around the room in the busy restaurant at the people watching this happen, I said, “Are you effing serious?!” Tears immediately began streaming down my face before the moment really even sunk in. As I […]

Despite the fact that I look highly unhappy, my old Santa photos seriously make me laugh. I think that if I were to be put in this Santa pic situation again, it would most likely illicit the same reaction–me screaming and crying like a baby. Well, maybe not, but I’m not going to give it […]

In a few short hours, I will be crossing the threshold of my tumultuous twenties and stepping into, what I know will be, my burgeoning thirties. Unlike many other people passing this milestone, I won’t be entering my thirties plagued by hesitation or crippled by reservations. Quite the contrary, actually. For the first time in […]

Now, seriously, you can’t say that I’m not the cutest dang thing you’ve ever seen. I mean, it’s almost too much for me to look at with my Smurfette cake.Last night, I looked through old photos, I guess I was feeling nostalgic.I found this one of me on my 3rd birthday, and couldn’t resist posting […]

Friday evening we packed up the car and headed to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Instead of staying in a hotel, like normal tourist, we opted to camp out in the Great Smokey Mountains. This was somewhat of a special little trip for me because I have been to the town once, but that was when I was […]

We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives… not looking for flaws, but for potential. ~Ellen Goodman Wayfaring WandererMy name is Jessica […]

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! Here we are in Atlanta, Ga. safe and sound to spend Christmas with Cody’s family. The drive went fairly well, thankfully we didn’t hit traffic until the last 30 minutes of our ride. The weather was damp and dreary the entire time and looks as though […]
