About Me

Welcome to my blog.  After many years of wanting to make blogging a priority in my life, I'm finally jumping in and starting the journey.  This will not only be my place to keep extended family and friends updated on our day-to-day adventures, but a place I will openly and passionately discuss my thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

Now for the introductions.  I'm Jessica.  My husband Tanner and I have two beautiful and incredible girls.  We are currently living on the east coast, and really enjoy the family oriented nature of the south.  

  

I grew up in North Carolina and enjoyed a fun filled childhood of eating honeysuckles and catching fireflies.

After high school I moved to LA, where I spent about as much time in school, as I did at Disneyland and the beach.  LA is where I learned the most about myself to date.  I learned I loved sushi, long boarding, all types of music, fashion, cars, the ocean, animals, sunshine, hockey, the Lakers, Neil Simon, avocado burritos.. and so much more.  I started working for a branch of Ralph Lauren, as a manager, and moved for the company to the Bay area.  

Honestly, it wasn't my cup of tea, but I found out a lot about myself up there too.  For intense, I don't enjoy public transpiration, the bush man (may  he rest in peace) was truly a treasure, Alcatraz intrigues me, I LOVE fresh shrimp, and there is NO way that "Full House" was filmed INSIDE that teeny tiny house!

  

After a year I'd had enough of the crazy commutes to and from work, I moved to Utah with my sister and brother to finish my schooling and create a new chapter to my life.  I majored in Theater Performance and Design at Utah Valley University.  I met some of the most amazing people there, including my husband, and some of my best friends.  After years in California, Utah was a hard adjustment!  I felt claustrophobic, like the beautiful mountains were closing in on me.  I probably didn't enjoy the state as much as I could have, but moving there when I did, has definitely led me down the path I'm on with my family today!

The next few years are already promising to be the best ones to date. So sit back and enjoy the ride.
