I'm Prepared for the Kitchen

I did it!!! I made one of them handy dandy aprons all on my own. (although my mother did help quite a bit).
Here is how it all started-One day I walked into Pier One because I love looking around at all the cool stuff that store can pack in there. I was actually with my sister-in-law Bonnie and we were using a gift card that my mom had there.  We found some cool stuff for Bonnie and her brilliant new house and I ended up finding THE most spectacular pillow I've ever seen. It was definately a "Jessica Pillow" because it had all of my favorite colors on it, how rare for such a thing to happen. Anywho, we were looking around and that is where I saw my inspiration. They had aprons in the kitchen section and one that looked super cute with all sorts of ruffles and such.  It definately wasn't the average apron, however, the only problem was I didn't like the fabrics it was made out of sooo I decided it couldn't be too hard to make an apron like this. Then off I went to the fabric store and found some more suiting fabrics that fit my style.  From then on I've slowly been working on it and whala!! Here it is:

Imma workin woman

Soo since most of you know I won't be attending BYU-I until January (which seems like centuries away!!!) I figured the best use of my time would be spent working and making money.  Apperently college isn't cheap....haha As of today I now have two jobs.  The newest and most recent of which is (insert a drumroll here)............................................................

Yes, mmmmmm :)

I'm so excited to start! I've heard it's such a fun place to work and what gets better than free frozen yogurt topped with delicious fruit or other goodies?! I can't wait to start this job!

I've also kept busy with another job at here:

The best part of this job is that I get to indulge in my overcompulsiveness of being organized by folding shirts into piles on tables and straightening things. hahah but I really do enjoy it because for some odd reason it is somewhat therapeutic! I also get to see lots of people that come through the mall PLUS I get discounts on adorable clothes!!! Sometimes it is a bad thing though because I end up spending my paycheck there but I just found out today that I can save my receipts and write them off on taxes as a "work uniform". Good news for me:] 

I find it quite a blessing to have two jobs right now, especially in our given economy.  It's also a blessing to have two jobs that work with my schedule and let me work with such great people. I love my jobs and so I guess they'll have to do while I wait to go to college.  I can't complain, although my friends will be having fun at college, I'll be makin the big $bucks$ at two wonderful jobs!

~Zumba~

Tonight I did Zumba for the first time in a while and let me tell ya...It is Invigorating!!!

It's one of THE funnest ways to get active plus you get to jam out to music:)

Zumba gets 2 thumbs up from me.



Must Reads!

Oh boy do I have something for you....

 

As I was sitting all day waiting for my pain from my wisdom teeth to go away (which it never did) I entertained myself with something I rarely do which is Read.  I didn't just read any random book, I happened to read the captivating first book of the Hunger Games which was reccommended to me by Brian and Bonnie. I read it in a matter of 2 days!!! I think that's a record for me to read that fast by choice!  So you know it's gotta be good and I highly reccomend reading them if you haven't already!!!

 They're full of adventure and suspense with a little spice of romance sprinkled in there...what book would be a success without romance right?! ;) hahah But seriously these are good! more than good, they're Superb!

I can't wait to get my hands on the second book...

Running--Anyone? Anyone??

Ok sooo I just saw this quote and it couldn't be more true!!! This is my newest statement to whenever my avid runner friends (Kaycee and Kelli) ask me to go running with them or that it's "Fun". Don't get me wrong, i like being healthy however i'll just find another way of doing it rather than running. this just made me giggle because we know it's all true...When in the world have you ever seen a jogger smiling?!? my recollection is 0.


So if you wanted to know something new about me it is this:
Jessica DOESN'T ENJOY running.
                         ^Insert 'LOATHES' here

um yeah that about sums it up!


p.s. Today i was reminded of the only thing that may be an exception to this post...That is if there is a Hot Mysterious Runner Dude who looks like a greek god running around town.  I don't care if he's not smiling while he's running! bahaha in that case i no longer Loathe running

Gotta love 'em

Here are a few kids I'd like you to meet! Avery, Aspen, Carson, and Briley. These are some of the most important people in my world.  It's so fun being an Aunt Jessica :] Actually it's more than fun, it's exceptionally superb!! Earlier this week Brian and Bonnie stopped by as they were traveling to a family reunion in Island Park and they also brought along with them two of the cutest little girls I know.  It's so fun being able to see them, especially since it's not very often i get the chance to see them since they live 14 hours away.  While they were here for a day we stopped by the falls which had tons of water busting over the edge and it was really pretty. I just love these little guys and they're sure to make me smile.  I especially can't wait for little Camden whom we're anxiously waiting to arrive any day now.  <3

The Beginning

So after years and years of contemplating on getting a blog (jk it took me a mere matter of minutes to decide I wanted a blog thanks to my fellow friends Bailey Whitehead and Gentry Funk), anywho I FINALLY GOT ONE! oh and another inluential person on getting this blog together was Kambrie.  She came over to be all "technological" and help me with my itunes which took just a few seconds then she practically told me to make one right then and there.  So off we went. We began and after about a century later it finally worked out.  Getting the background was a huge milestone we had to overcome and finally we got something to work.  Little did we know that the background was just the beginning of our journey.  We had to retry and retry again on just about everything else.  I think we've finally gotten it to the point where we're both satisfied. 
The main thing i was concerned about with making a blog was actually being an interesting person.  As many of you know...well let's just say i'm not the most entertaining individual so i'll try my hardest to have a interesting life with interesting events in it and i'll do my best to tell you all about these events in the most interesting way possible. So do me a little favor and pretend to be interested. Thanks:)
