love is a swimming pool

Its snowing and I'm sitting outside Giffs thrift store. A guy stops to talk to me.
Guy: "Did you lose something?"
me: "What??"
guy:" you just look sad or something."
me:"no... I'm not."
guy:"whats your name?"
me : "Jessica."
guy: "I'm Abe. where are you from?"
me: "Mesa, Arizona"
Abe: "oh really? me too, kind of. what high school?"
me: "mountain view, don't judge me."
Abe:" ha I wont, I went to red mountain"
me: "what year did you graduate?"
Abe:" '98"
me: "1998! so i was in eighth grade when you graduated?"
Abe thinking to himself, I'm not going to ask for this girls number, she is way too young.
Abe:"uh, yeah."
Abe gets a text and laughs
me: "whats so funny?"
Abe shows me the text.
It says.." Hurry and get her number, so we can leave.-Karla"
Abe just looks at me.
me: "well... do you want it?"
Pause.
Abe:" yeah."

One bad date, a surprise trip to Provo and three years later.

okay,so maybe that was not how i pictured how it would be when i met my husband, but if you look pass all the awkwardness....it was a good moment. Our first year of marriage has been nothing but full of love and laughter and i can honestly say, I have the world's best husband.

Happy 1st year anniversary.
One year down, forever to go.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

For some reason this week i have some sort of a sleeping disorder. i don't get it? I normally have no problem sleeping if anything I'm a little too good at sleeping. seriously...on time i woke up and had goose egg and dried blood on my forehead. I think i hit my head in the night and nothing, it didn't even wake me up. Anyway, this week I have just been getting a few hours here and there....Why?! I just cant keep going on like this... its irritating. Any suggestions how i solve this problem?






Oh, a funny side note:
This morning Abe was leaving for work and i was kind of out of it(maybe half asleep?) and when he said goodbye, I said: " Bye mom, uh i mean dad, i mean..... husband." I wanted to say "Abe" but it didn't come out that way..so weird.

This economy stinks

People need to get a haircut already!(preferably by me)

Conversation: In the car driving


Abe: " you know, your are the first girl Ive kissed ALL ten fingers."

Me:" So, all the other girls you kissed like what, five fingers?"

Abe:" No, just nine. I wanted to save myself for marriage."

I love Abe, no matter what era he is from.(or even if he looks a little creepy)

We also went to the biosphere 2...... I love this kind of stuff.

hi, remember me?

I am back. I know i haven't post anything since October. We are not even going to talk about it... we will just go on with our lives. Done.




The strangest thing happened to me this weekend. I went to the dentist Friday morning for a filling and came out with a nitrous(aka laughing gas) overdose..... i didn't think that was possible, but of course it happened to me. I was so so so so so so sick. I didn't get out of bed for a good 5 hours, with my feet up(apparently it helps to get it out of your system). I'm better now, i am just never going to the dentist again.

yes, we are still alive!

Abe gave me very good presents this year. the boots above i saw a girl wearing them in chicago, when i had asked her where she

These were some treats that i made for our closest friends and family(sorry if you didnt get one ... i only had 14 boxes)





I went to Utah in November to see some of my favorite people to do some of my favorite things( best friends, shopping, eating, dancing, museums, talking really loud, and wearing boots)
