HaPpY bIrThDaY DADDY!
today is my daddy's birthday! so i just wanted to let everyone know what a wonderful father he has been! i can't imagine what my life would be like if i didn't have his love, encouragement, and support. he loves Jesus and is a wonderful example to me and my sisters of the way to live a life that is pleasing to God. i love him so very much! tonight we are celebrating his birthday at olive garden. i am so thankful for my daddy!
Monday Monday Monday
i feel like i need another weekend to recover from the weekend i just had. i hate MONDAYS! it was a busy weekend full of showers (2), running up and down the road, and a wedding. friday night we had a great shower at my friend lisa's house. she and sarah both really out did themselves with the couple's cookout. lost of great friends, food, and fun. dave and i both have some of the greatest friends in the world. we appreciate them all very much!
saturday, i got up early and drove to my parent's. my mom and i went and met with another cake lady. since i am not a big cake person, it has been very hard for me to imagine paying a whole lot for a wedding cake. luckily, ms. loretta had very reasonable prices and i like her stuff so we decided to go with her for the wedding cake. thankful that is one more thing checked of the wedding list.
that afternoon my sister's threw me a shower. a good friend of mine from high school was able to make it and several of my mom's friends from her work place- blue ridge orthopaedics. it was a good time...and the food was great of course (since my mom made it all). thanks to my sisters for all their hard work!
saturday evening i raced back for Allison's wedding. which was BEAUTIFUL! she was gorgeous and the church was decorated perfectly and the reception was awesome! i didn't stay very late because i had to get back to the house to take care of zeus. when i got home i didn't know how tired i really was till i laid down in the bed and didn't wake up until i heard dave coming in at 8:40 sunday morning.
he brought me some flowers he stopped on the side of the road to pick for me. he is too sweet. he also went to wal-mart on his way home and brought me my own box of cereal since i refuse to eat his kashi. we went to forestville this morning and got to hear the new pastor- rob jackson. we both really like him. i think we will start going to forestville full-time. :o)
sunday afternoon dave went treasure hunting and i cleaned the house, organized shower gifts, and took a long nap. i cooked dinner and we had a picnic on the back deck and watched the sunset. i don't think i have mentioned it on this new blog but I LOVE MY HOUSE. dave and i are so forunate to have found it!
sorry for the long ramblings...i'll try to post some pictures tonight.

Late Night
last night i stayed up until 1 am working on my wedding invitations. i love them. they aren't your traditional invites but i think that is why i love them so much. needless to say getting up at six this morning hurt. i thrive off sleep...i normally need a good seven hours in order to have the optimal day. i'll pay for this all weekend...which is busy in itself.
tonight my dear friends lisa and sarah are hosting a couple's cookout for dave and i. it should be lots of fun. tomorrow i am going to my parents for another shower (yahoo for showers!) hosted by my sisters. i also need to meet with the cake lady and florist. then i get to rush home for a wedding tomorrow night!
i just got back from a vacation...yet i think i am going to need another soon!

hello blogger!
well...i have officially decided to move my blog to blogger from wordpress. wordpress frustrates the poo out of me-so all my friends do blogger so i guess i will too. i don't know why i was trying to be cool and go with wordpress. you can still check the ole' wordpress blog to catch up with my life up to today. http://jessleigh7.wordpress.com/ personally, i find blogger more user friendly. i also prefer my look on here to my wordpress blog. enough of the blog drama...onto the real-life drama...
51 days and i'll be mrs. jessica smith. that sounds so wierd yet wonderful. other "exciting" (i use that word loosely) news: i was laid off from my job yesterday. i am going to be working until May 9. it is such a strange feeling. i love my job-i wouldn't want to work anyone else. since january 18 when i started my job i have told everyone who ask that i had found my dream job. its sad and depressing and frustrating...not really exciting at all. it raises 100 million questions as to what i am going to do...with a wedding around the corner and the planning that invovles i am not sure where to even start. the positive thing is...i've been here before...and i know God has a plan.
