Chris took me out for a picnic, 4wheeling, and sight-seeing on Tuesday ... SO much fun! Here's just a little vid of some of the happenings. Been awhile since I've made a video... bear with me here :) enjoy! xo

Jes Me...

I've been reminiscing lately about modeling: the glitz, glam, and fabulousness of it all... the hours spent beautifying me, sometimes it was good enough and sometimes nothing ever could be. In reality, this is what I look like in the morning: No makeup, no hair-spray, no photo-shop, no touch-ups, no amazing lighting set or "impossible to take a bad shot" camera. Take me or leave me, this is "Jes Me" this morning.

Loves to you alls!

Kodak Moments

Hello lovelies!

Do you remember me? I bet ya'll think I've forgotten about you ... not true! Don't believe the rumors =) I have been so busy blessed by life lately! First off, I have a job now in the 805 area code. I'm working at a historic inn as their restaurants' Hostess/Barista. I'm really enjoying the morning shifts: 6:15am to 2pm ... I know! A I must be a lil crazy to actually enjoy waking up a quarter to 5 in the morning. So be it. Today I just finished my week of training so I have tomorrow off and then begin my very own shift on Friday eve. Exciting :) It's nice to have a schedule and a biweekly paycheck to count on. Below is a pic of 1 of 3 trainers, this is Sammy (Samantha) who I am replacing because she decided to become a busser at the restaurant. So we still get to work together often - yay! This was taken in the "801" coffee shack ... I don't know why it's called the "801" I'll get back to ya on that!
Okay, you've been so patient with me ... let's see ... CHRIS! lol Wow I am so beyond blessed. After nearly 3 years of single life ... the Lord has truly proven Himself faithful despite my imperfect patience, pity parties, and doubt. Chris and I met on a blind date. So funny really. A mutual friend who I met through another mutual friend, via facebook, long distance, while I was still in New York and they were in Chicago. Once we moved back to the Central Coast (literally within the same week of each other!) They set Chris and I up on a double blind date matchmaking thing and whatdya know ... about a month later Chris asked my father for permission to court me. I am so blessed beyond measure by this man. Of course, Matt and Melody are SO excited that they made such a good match between Chris and I! I've also become fast friends with them both. Melody and I are two lady-souls, kindred spirits, sisters of the heart, crazy whatchya macallits :) She and her husband, Matt, are such a blessing! Not to mention beyond bunches of fun. Never a lack for laughter when we're all together =) Such good good solid Christian fellowship! Thank you Lord Jesus for Your provision.^“The real test of friendship.^

Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?”

In Loving Memory

After 12 happy years with him, our sweet Cody boy was diagnosed with Lymphatic cancer barely two weeks ago today. He was euthanized this past Friday morning (5-22-09) so as not to prolong his pain. He went peacefully and comfortably in mamas loving arms. We have a big rottweiler sized hole in our home and hearts for him. Below are just some words and tunes that helped me through the weekend.



My edit of Guns n' Roses "Don't Cry"

Talk to me
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know you feel
I understand your pain
Something's changing inside you
And don't you know

Don't you cry
I still love you baby girl
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
There's a heaven above us baby girl
so please don't you cry for me

You whisper "I love you" one last time
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinking of you
And the years we had together

Don't you cry
I still love you baby girl
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
There's a heaven above us baby girl
so please don't you cry for me

And please remember that I've never cried
And please remember my happiness in this life
You got to make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sweetheart
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now

Don't you cry
Ill always love you baby girl
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
There's a heaven above us baby girl
so please don't you cry for me

RIP Cody
