i am stuck on band-aid brand...

so did any of your mom's ever tell you band-aids are not toys? well mine sure did! that is why when i was over come with the most dramatic and intense bug bite attack in human experience... i knew that each band-aid i was going to use must be used for only the most serious of situations.

break down of my night a few days ago:

12:00 am: cry myself to sleep (i exaggerate peeps.) cuz my feet are itching so dang bad.
12:41: wake up. smother my feet in anti itch cream
2:17: repeat.
4:12 repeat.
4:45: go to the bathroom
6:23: SO DANG MAD my feet won't stop itching. smother my feet AGAIN. take drastic measures and pull out the band-aids

(there are 11 band-aids on my feet)

at 6:30 in the morning i created my own remedy for bug bites by sticking anti itch cream on the back of the band-aid... and guess what?... IT TOTALLY WORKED!

i went back to sleep, and like a baby.... slept for 5 more uninterrupted hours.

HURRRRRRRYYYY

bye bye...

hello...

These are a few of my NEW favorite things

Okay I have a legit question... Why would someone's favorite thing be "when the dog bites, or the bee stings?" REALLY?? That statement seems like a bold faced lie to me... Don't you agree?

Well I am about to share with you some of my most NEW favorite-st things. But don't worry... There is nothing absurd on here like bees stinging people...


1.... Have you had these squares of delicious goodness? NO? Go to your grocery store NOW and buy them. It is literally the perfect cereal. Not too sweet, and doesn't get soggy. mmm....

2.... Bare Minerals Bronzer. Want that sunkissed glow? Do yourself a favor and hook your pasty white skin up with this baby.


3.... Im obsessed with this book. I read (actually listened... its what I do when I am editing.) it about a month ago and I still think about it daily. Its quite interesting.


4. . This is a blog that I have fallen in LOVE with. Check it out. Click here.




What are some of your FAVORITE-ST things? I would love to know...

sandwiches.strawberries.and sun.

So I am sitting at school and I just asked Robbie what one word he would use to describe our marriage. Here's the breakdown of our convo:

bob: Uhh....

me: don't say something stupid.
bob: duh... I would say the word would be good.
me: good? thats it?
bob: no. how about interesting.
me: That's gay. Say something different.
bob: fine! fun... or happy... yeah our marriage is happy.

I think I might have tricked him into saying that:)


Here are some pics from our very first picnic of the season! YAY for warm weather.

Dandelions and Jake

Go back in time with me.. Like 12 years. That makes me 10, and Jake 8.

It was a warm spring afternoon. Jakey (his name when we were little) and I had been sitting in the car what seemed liked YEARS. It probably was more like 5 minutes while my dad took a mad dash to the bathroom. (he ALWAYS did that after we all buckled in and ready to go)

I decided to tell him a little white lie. I told him dandelions grew only in spots where dogs peed... Him, being my younger brother, obviously had an internal need to be smarter than me. After I said that he looked at me and said,

"Gosh Jessy, don't waste my time with stupid facts. Every one knows that."

After that I laughed in his face and told him I was lying and he was the stupid one... So maybe that was a little harsh. He cried. And I got in trouble:(

Every time I see a dandelion, that memories pops back in a head, a smile emerges to my face, I and think of him.









For over a year, Jake has dedicated his life to serving our Savior in cause much greater than us all.

He is sick. And has been for awhile. Will join me and pray for him to be made whole?
