Life is a roller coaster!! The ups and lows come by so fast and then are over.....

My trip was a wonderful experience in which I got to meet new people who are striving for the same goals in life. That was encouraging, since it just feels like its been a while to really meet families striving to serve the Lord... We attended many different sessions with the topics ranging from courtship and marriage, to elder leadership to when and how to leave a church and many others..Like Hospitality...... Luckily for me, my parents got to catch the same vision and we are now aiming to really serve God through opening up our home which has always been a desire of mine. I love having people over!!!

Since getting home, I don't think my life has slowed down once! I have enjoyed all of it though, cause I have been HOME!!! I forgot how much I missed this place;) I wasn't home much before I left for Missouri so it was nice to just be home with very little to do:)

Please pray for me as I am striving to help someone with some stuff and really don't know how to go about it. Or if I am even wanted ....But my heart is really burdened for them....Please pray for direction for me and them.:) I know it will be appreciated my both of us!!!!

Well, I gotta get running, but I hope to hear more from you all soon!!! I miss my buddies,,,,,, I haven't been on much cause Dad's computer went BACK IN THE SHOP...GRRRRR:) So, hopefully I will have time and a computer at the same time!!!!  Miss you all and hear from you soon!!!!

Dearest Freinds and Family,

Boy do I feel like I have been gone for a while!!!

I have had the greatest priveledge of being a part of a neat, neat family these last few weeks. I can't tell you how blessed I was and still very much so am by what they did for me this last few weeks:)

It all began a few weeks ago when I was pleasantly surprised with an invitation to go with a sweet, precious couple and their grand daughters to Missouri for the Church and Family conference with vision forum.

Much to my surprise, I was thrilled to see it all working together and shocked when it all really started working out. So we headed out on October 1st after many delays:) Yah..

We're off:):):):)

Here I am with a few of the sweet ladies I got to spend my time with while gone:)

From Left to Right, Mary , Grace, Me and Callie:) This was right outside our main conference area:)

My Co-hort and partner in crime, Kitty:)

These last few were of Sarah,  and then one of me and another sweet buddy we got to visit, Ashley:)

Will write more soon of what all happened at the conference:)

Much Love

Hey Ya'll...Oh my word!!! I can't believe I haven't updated in so long!!! With Dad's computer being gone, I don't update nearly as much! My life has been insane!!! Good, but insane.

God uses all things to build us up in life...I have just been through a very interesting situation in which I once again realized why I am so glad to be single and totally able to enjoy my life right now to the fullest!!! It would've been neat had it worked out, but there are just some things that have to fit, and they didn't, to those of you that knew a little of what was going on...

I am really enjoying myself over these next few weeks....Friday some of my dear freinds are coming in to stay with us for a civil war ball, and then Sunday I am going to our dear friends church and staying with them and going to St. Louis Missouri for about a week for a conference with them....I can't wait:) They are such a wonderful family and I love them all dearly:) I am hoping to still have email in the evenings though, so you all are still totally allowed to email me...I am probably gonna need it.....

Always keep me in your prayers:) THere are just different weird things going on in my life that are good and charcter building oppertunities....but still not always the easiest,...

Much Love,

Your Tired Blonde

No, girl I didn't fall off the planet;)

Sorry I have been really busy , ya  know, I actually have a life...I know you all don't believe that;)

I have been upholstering, sewing, cleaning, driving all over the place and honestly just truly enjoying life.....

Something happened that made me realize life goes by really fast.....So I am learning once again to enjoy every moment.....

Question in conclusion;)

Can you fall in love with ONE person, and not be attracted to anyone ever again???

Please leave answers in comment section:)

 Hey Ya'll..

My mood is as a wild river....

Overall, I LOVE MY LORD!!!!!!!

I am feeling so good though:) I got to go to one of my good freinds weddings and see him as happy as they come leaving with his gorgeous bride!!!! It made me happy to see him happy:) It was great:):):)

I also was walking around my very wet backyard and was blessed with the most beautiful closeup view of a pair of sweet butterflies feeding on my TALL grass;) ( my weedwacker is broked , but as the butterflies proved there are good things to this too:))

I got to go walking with one of my bestest buddies ever last night and we talked ALL night:) I will shoot myself for all you people I have yelled at for staying up so late:) Give me  a break one time;)

I sat on my swing in the back yard and realized once more how much I like my yard...It's not the prettiest by any means, it needs to be cleaned and it's muddy and dirty, but I love it:) It has helped ,me grow up and it is apart of who I am ..If you don't like it , deal with it....You appearantly don't like me;)

I love to day dream...Of my future. of my past, of what I want to accomplish and what I never will but wish I could:) I love to watch cows graze, butterflies feeding on a blade of grass, and birds flying..I wanna learn how to fly, and I have to wonder, if I am the pilot, will I still get sick or is it like car sickness????

I LOVE stars at night and music 99.99999% of the time..all kinds:)...ok, maybe not ALL kinds, but you get the idea:)

I enjoy beaches and will miss them the most when we leave..I love traveling and wish I could do it mroe often....I want few friends, but true ones..... I hate being judged falsely and wish people would just love me and my family for who they are;)

I love what God can teach you thru the hardest times in your life and just make them good times, even though painful... I love being lazy and hate myself for it when I am

I love to run but always seem to out of shape;) I love, love , love to walk anywhere......I feel like I am accomplishing something while doing what I love the most, watching people just live life....

I can't wait to get my camera to be able to show other people what I see, and be able to "be" there without really "being" there.....I like to hide when I am around alot of people....would rather the few that love me, then the millions that talk behind my back:)

I love good freinds that can talk about me and know that I won't kill them for it later;) ( most of the time);)

I love BIG trucks, dinky trucks are just......dinky!!!;)

And I love everyone who actually sat and read my heart just now....I generally try not to get long winded on here, but today I was spillin over and needed it on "paper"...

May God richly truly bless you all today!!!!!

( I also love Log Cabins, but most of you already knew that;););))

and Jean and leather jackets.....especially on guys..it helps their cologne smell better;)

ok, at least my dad's//.....not that he has one, but anyway;)

As I sit here in my comfy clothes feeling wayyyyyyy tired, I look at the below pictures of this couch and think, " I did that???" Glad I am done The following pics are just a little of my life the last few days....And btw, ignore the ones of me...My face was swollen from fillings that same day, I was showing off my new John Deere t-shirt  

Ok, so this is what is looked like when I started...The whole bottom and springs were falling out....We got to tear it apart and start literally from scratch...It ended up being ALOT of fun though,,,I enjoyed all this part;)

This is an orignal hog feed burlap bag placed inside with the cotton filling...I truly believe this couch to be over a hundred years old...All things were totally authentic..Very cool to see:):):):) Think about what was going on when it first came into existance....Hopefully my dad won't read this since I claim to be a hater of learning history;););)

Here is the finished product... The Back was Diamond tufted, which means there was alot of buttons pulled thru tightly to the back:) My hands were sore:):):):)

Overall, I was really happy with how it came out...The back you see actually started "falling apart" halfway thru working with it, scaring me to death, cause the last thing I wanted to do was have to replace the whole thing:) But after workign with it and playing around with different fillings, it worked..Praise be to God!!!!

My sweet little photographer and I were playing around the other day after we got home from our dentist appointment...Ouch....Final two fillings..So happy that garbage is done She is such a little sweet heart...:)

I LOVE this style picture and was really happy with how it came out:)

Of course it tends to be a more masculine pose, but in this case it worked well:)

I am hoping after getting my camera, ( if ever;)) that I will be able to steal a few friends and try all these ideas floating thru my mind;)

For everyones 411, the shirt says "country girl" with the JD symble underneath:)

I have wanted one of these shirts FOREVER!!!!! I was so happy to find one alot cheaper than I had found any where else and it was in my size!!!!

YEAH!!!!!

Cya all soon:)

Jess

Well, with one of my best freinds gone and having a blast trying on ALL my cowboyish stuff, I have decided to go off on my own....:)

I have decided I am going out to explore the world with a handsome freind of mine who is going to protect me from all the bad, freaky and scary dudes, I may encounter:):):)

We have decided we are going to Mexico, and the Philipines.....I think I could also con him into Scotland and Ireland if I try hard enough;)

Ok, I am kidding, but if anyone wants to volunteer for the job, let me know huh???

YOu must be able to scare away bad guys, beat um up if they don't run from sheer terror, and have a good sense of humor....I like to laugh when I am scared:):):)

( If you have lots of money that's a plus too!!!!!!;)

Hey Ya'll...

You ever think about the fact that you are learning things all day long, every day of your life?

I have learned today:

I trust people way to fast,

and when they fail who I think they are, I fall way to hard!

In turn, I am learning to trust in Christ for discernment to know who to put my trust into, and not build them up higher than they should be,

and when I do fall, falling onto my Lord!!!

Still learning, pray for me always:):):)

Found my truck;)

So ya, like when I can actually afford it, which will be like never:):):)

Just thought you all should know;)

Love this Jacket:):):):) ( don't gag Laura )

Really like this necklace:)

Absolutly love this kitchen

( Look at the windows:) Can you imagine that view while cooking:):):) )

(Day dreaming;) )

I love all those windows!!!!!

Sorry the pictures weren't bigger:):):) I like big pictures:)

Now that you all have a better idea of the hick that I am , I shall depart:)

Tootles:):):)
