- not anymore. its complicated.

well, that was entertaining. 

your turn.

loves, 

jessica :)

chicken... chicken.. um.. chicken nuggets!

i love it when the rawlins visit. this time, it was only laura, marshall, jane, claire and anna, but it was still one of the funnest visits yet. we quoted kid history nonstop, rode horses for hours at a time, chased chickens, rode quads, and had a duct tape fest. the bag that ryan is modeling is a one of a kind duct tape purse. i made it from scratch, and it is alll duct tape. it's fully functional and i'm quite proud. i'm now selling duct tape products. if you want something original.. i'll figure out how to do it. among the creations were duct tape bras and sumo wrestler diapers. creative? yup. fun? yess. complete craziness? uuh-huh.

hp7: success.

fantastic.

i loved it.

zackary and sean were hysterical.

the six hours we spent in the theater

went by much much faster

than i had anticipated,

thanks to lots of fruit snacks,

almonds, chocolate, and

uno card games.

kaitlyn and i are now very best friends.

pictures to come of some crazy

fanatics who dressed

up quite convincingly.

lveos,

jsicsea.

saw it here.

the fourth.

today...

guess what?

i just got asked on a date to see this.

at midnight.

with zack.

and 6 other couples.

am excited?

yes.

i should probably watch the first half...

right?

we're still here.

lexie can't (shouldn't) dance. jillian is the best sport i've ever met. i love my ward. service projects can be fun. snipe hunting is drama filled and hysterically worth the pretense. blankets are the best. it's awkward when it's frog mating season on the lake. indeed, we do wear boots and sweats for four days straight. we're pretty attractive. and i'm done with girls camp.

he's getting old.

ryan, i mean.

not the dogs. ha.

he can beat me when we squabble, and is several inches taller than me.

he's going to the high school with me next year.

i'm excited.

nervous.

worried.

blown away.

excited.

it'll be great.

nancy and shirley have good days sometimes.

ethan is turning 8 next week.

he's a great looking kid, right?

he's my favorite brother at the moment. ryan is being relentless about the fact that i'm not popular enough to be in the yearbook more than three times. pshaw.

remember that blank wall in my room?

not blank anymore.

last night my mamma and michelle (nancy and shirley)

hung all my pictures while i layed on my bed.

i'm helpful, whatever. :)

now only if they would clean my room...

loves,

jessica.

felicity.

felicity.

fe·lic·i·ty

[fi-lis-i-tee]

–noun1.

the state of being happy, especially in a high degree; bliss.

i'm in the mood to make a felicity list.

i love this word, it embodies everything that makes me happy.

• summer weather.
• cute dresses. especially this one.
• spring cardigans.
• green grass.
• reading outside in seminary.
• d&c section 6.
• when butterscotch is a good girl.
• clean stalls.
• clean rooms.
• clean bathrooms.
• "i do" by colbie callait.
• colorful sunsets.
• good books.
• when grandma stays for a few days. [that totally rhymed]
• natali's 10th birthday is tomorrow.
• the world is still here.
• beginning to get my summer tan on.
• scheduling senior pictures.
• senior pictures of my graduating friends.
• the freshness of the air at 7:00 in the morning.
• it's almost june?
• seminary graduation last night makes me glad i don't skip.
• next year, school starts at 8:00. yeeesssss.
• cousins are visiting soon.
• strawberry cream pie.
• midnight pomegranate.
• chocolate eggs left over from easter.
• a brand new pack of markers.
• a car full of gas.
• 2-for-5 flip flops at old navy.
• tacos and other such warm weather food.
• vice president in history club and potentially bpa next year.
• cabins in the mountains.
• a good long sleep.

whooo that got to be a long list. needless to say, despite my D in calculus i'm in a good mood. its really, really sad that i'm planning on taking summer school to retake this class. but really what's a couple weeks of summer for an A? bleeeech. whatevs. i always was proud that i was a smart kid. i wonder if this is a lesson in humility? i really hope not, it's a little humiliating.

anyways, i'm really glad that video touched you guys like it did me. i really feel like this is the best video they've ever made. it is so personal to every high school student and come on, we can all do what that kid did. he was able to bring someone unto christ purely because of his example on the sports teams that he was on. it's not hard. sometimes i clam up and forget everything i've learned in the past 17 years of church, but know what? i put that barrier on myself. there are people that i know need to hear what i know, and i know that you know people that need to know, even if you live in mormon central, utah, usa. enough with my spitting out everything that is popping into my head. [p.s. i like someone in a major sort of way. maybe more later?]

have a great day. as kaitlyn says, remember who you are and make good choices. and as my momma says, be helpful, respectful, kind and calm.

peace out.

j-dubb. :)

oh and one more thing.

go make your own felicity list.

it'll make you feel great.

promise.

kudos to you if you read all the way down here.

i'm in the mood for a lotion that smells like coconut tanning spray or some other yummy concoction. what are your favorites?

a culmination.

easter was at tamarack this year. grandma and grandpa's new house is so cute!

it's like the cottage all over again.

we go thru lots of little towns on the way, and a trademark is the blue & green roofs.

when it snows til may, you gotta have a good roof.

apparently there is a reason we wear barn jeans. whatever, i've been dirtier.

um, summer is almost here. like, a two weeks and 2 days.

the pool is great after school but probably is not the best thing to be doing

during finals week.

birthday parties? yes please.
