Welcome to my little blog! I know that most of you are here from Jenna's blog and are part of her "2nd Annual Commenting Challenge". I'm so excited to have visitors because no one ever reads my blog. It may help if I actually updated the blog once in a while. Also, I love reading other blogs - yes, I waste too much time doing this. Ha ha.
Since most of you do not know me, I thought I'd introduce myself.
My name is Jessica and I live in Northern VA. I am from North Carolina and lived there until I was 22 years old! I met my husband in college and we married 2 months after I graduated. On July 16th we will celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. Time really does fly! We have two spoiled rotten dogs- Patsy (a Black and Tan Coonhound) and Jacob (a Beagle). They are both rescue dogs from our local animal shelter.
I am a 2nd grade teacher and it really is my dream job. I can't imagine doing anything else. I love to read! My favorite authors are Maurice Sendak, Peggy & Herman Parish, and James Patterson. I love books and even studied Reading & Literacy in Graduate School. One day maybe I'll become a Reading Specialist. I am very girly! I love makeup, hair stuff, jewelry, shopping, purses, and PINK! I was sort of a tomboy growing up so I can't believe that I became a girly girl.
Other things that I love:
*Water-- beach, pool, boating. My parents have a sailboat and it is wonderful to go out on the water and relax. It is so peaceful. If you have never been, go and you'll love it.
*My entire family-- I have a huge family and each person is so special to me
*My friends-- I have the best friends in the world. They're the kind that have to be your friends because they know too much :-),
*Traveling-- In 2 weeks I'm going to Miami and I can't wait! One day I'd love to go to Hawaii. I need to get over my fear of flying at some point I guess.
*North Carolina BBQ and Sweet Tea-- Neither of which you can get in Northern VA. :-(
*Holidays- Happy 4th of July by the way!
I could add so much more to this post but I know there are other blogs you'd like to visit. Feel free to ask any questions and leave comments. I love comments!
Thank you for stopping by!

- I am many things. Most importantly, I am the wife of my college sweetheart, Mat. We are the parents of two wonderful dogs, Patsy and Jacob. I am also a 2nd grade teacher and I love it! My life revolves around my family, friends, and career.
