While i was looking through some pictures...

So whilst i was putting together my very first post on my very first blog i was looking at pictures that i had on my computer.. and i figured what my next post would be. So the last time i went for a visit down south was for a funeral, and at christmas time, but i wanted to talk about the time before that, my last family reunion. You know those redneck jokes that people like to tell, like you know your a redneck when:your front yard looks like you're having a garage sale, or you use a hanger to get reception on your tv? yeah, thats my family, and its never a dull moment with them. I love every single moment. so i thought i'd share some of these moments captured on photograh here. enjoy!

Okay, this is on the way down to Mississippi, we drove, yes gas was very expensive. We got to stop by the headquarters for Cabello's in, Nebraska i think it is, anyway, this is a picture of my mum, looking at an ancient catfish he was HUGE!!! we like to stop everywhere, its good to stretch your legs and you gain a bit more culture. although i could feel the testosterone floating in the air here.

Well believe it or not we finally made it to Mississippi, where we got a motel for a couple of nights along with half the family, so i think it was the second day we were there, we had our first big rainstorm, and i just couldnt resist playing in it! my little cousin ariel thought i was crazy but then begged her mum to let her go play with me, she finally relented. We played in the rain together until it stopped like five minutes later. The thing about rainstorms there is that is so warm, its like being in a shower, its wonderful! This is my little second cousin brianna, she was watching us with her big beautiful eyes,Singing and Dancing in the rain!!!

And the day of the Family reunion dawned bright and beautiful, to top it all off, i actually wore a dress, i hate dresses.. but it was a very great time! Good food, family, and lots of fun! Family Reunion 2007

Its Me

My name is Jessica, im the oldest of two kids, I was born in Baton Rouge, LA, and lived in Monticello, Mississippi until i was 10 and then my whole family moved to Rigby, ID, we're starting out on our 12th year here in june...it feels like forever. So Idaho isnt really a bad place to live, its got plenty of natural beauty..and freezing cold weather.


But i grew up in a place where its ALWAYS green. Its a little different here. There are lots of cool people here though, so i guess that'll have to make up for it haha. I love to visit the south though. if anyone ever wants a tour guide..yeah, look me up! the picture on the right is a close up of my great-aunts front yard.


So i like to do lots of things, and stay busy, I like art, sketching, photography, reading is a favorite pastime of mine, I love working with animals and i just finised a six month internship at yellowstone bear world, and i miss my baby bear, Midnight yep, thats her in the picture there, shes about six months in that picture. Yeah ask my friends, you really shouldnt get me started on the cubs cause i wont stop haha maybe i'll get it all out on my blog! bwahahaha!





I just finished my application for BYU-I so hopefully in a couple of months i'll be going to school. I origionally started out at Utah state University where i am in that picture, teaching a class how to flintknap (or make arrowheads), in their museum on campus to be specific, where i practically lived, but hey it was a cool place and im not complaining. However due to some complications and ridiculous out-of-state tuition, im back in idaho for a bit, and ive applied for the biology major. wish me luck!


Ummm lets see what else can i bore you with... oh i know.I like fencing too, no not the kind you put up in your yard, i mean with swords and masks. Basically i love doing anything outside (as long as its at least 65 degrees...) I love to go new places, learn new things, watch new movies. I aslo play the violin/fiddle. I can pick out a tune on the piano(dont tell my branch president) I was in an auditioned choir for two years..so someone at least thinks i can sing. Hmm thats about all ive got for now.. Oh and i am accepting applications for a new boyfriend now. haha kidding!
