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.

Stopping by from Jennas!! I live in Va Beach, VA and love everything water too!!! I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July:)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. You're right...we do have a lot in common! I live up north so we don't have sweet tea here either. But I'm southern at heart so I make a gallon every day. Unfortunately, I'm a bit addicted to it and I'm trying to wean myself off. It flows through my veins! I hope you had a happy 4th! I look forward to hearing more from you in the future!
Have you read James Patterson's latest book - he was on one of the morning shows recently talking about it. He has a website called ReadKiddoRead.com that lists books for kids by ages. (Stopping by from Jenna's Journey)
It was great getting to know you! :-)
If you click on the outfit I made, it will take you to Polyvore's site and will tell you where you can get everything! Most of it is from Old Navy though .. cheap & cute! ;)
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love "meeting" fellow teachers! :) There are SO many great blogs out there with wonderful ideas for the school year! :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I always love it when I hear a teacher say that they love their job. Your job truly is so important and you can make such an impact on so many children. I am sure you are awesome at what you do! So glad that I found your blog!

Greetings from another 2nd grade teacher. I'm in NC. I've taught everything from K to 4th grade over 17 years, but 2nd is by far my favorite!
Stopping by from Jenna's. I'm write that with you on the love of the water!!! Couldn't agree more :)
I'm stopping by from Jenna's Journey... I'm a book lover too. Currently, I've been reading novels by Stuart Woods, particualry his Stone Barrington novels. Check them out!
Thanks so much for participating in the challenge! And I am a HUGE sweet tea fan! I may have a slight addiction to the stuff!
Just popped over from Jenna's I live in NC and love me some barbecue, but sadly I am an unsweet tea girl.

I'm popping by from Jenna's comment challenge. This is my first year participating and I'm having lots of fun with it so far!
Your blog is really cute (love the pink!) and it was neat to read more about you.
:) My eldest son is going into Grade 2! :) I love that age - old enough to have their own 'attitude' but young enough to mold! :)
I went to college in NC and I LOVE sweet tea!!
I absolutely love your blog design!!
I used to teach kindergarten until I decided to stay home with our baby!
Stopping in from Jenna's. No one reads my blog either, usually. Ha! So stuff like this is fun. I also love sweet tea, and BBQ, however I am not from the south, but I wish I lived there. :)Enjoy the rest of your weekend. :)
Stopping in from Jenna's. Cute blog! I love all things water related as well, and most weekends you can find me on the lake or at the beach.
You have such a cute blog-- you should post on it more often!
Just found out we're paired up for the Christmas Exchange!! Just wanted to drop by and say hi. :D
