The Lady
My name is Jessica, as many of you might have guessed by now. I was born October 13, 1983- making me twenty-five years of age. I have spent the majority of my life in the Mitten State (Michigan), aside from a brief relocation to the Hoosier State (Indiana). I have spent the majority of my life living amongst the rednecks and Amish and to be completely honest, I would not trade my upbringing for the world. I have lived in the city once and never want to venture down that path again, no matter how convenient it may have been at the time.
In May 2010, I separated from my husband of nearly six years and am beginning my journey as a single mother of two awesome children- a boy named Ethan, who was born October 13, 2006 and a girl named Addison, who was born November 03, 2008. I have grown immensely because of my children and could not imagine my life without them. I am also the proud owner of a grumpy ‘ol cat named Lucifer Meep, who would prefer to be the only “child” of the home.
One of the most frequent questions I am asked is what I do with my time and the best answer I can give is usually- “what don’t I do?” I prepare meals, feed the kiddos, work from home, clean house, do laundry and school work. But let us not forget the whole doctors appointments, grocery shopping, post office visits, banking and general errands either. My days are usually pretty busy from sun up to sun down, but despite the chaos I would not trade my life. Being highly organized and able to multi-task is usually what gets me through the day!
In between my crazy ‘ol schedule, I enjoy doing many things. I love chasing my son around the house, reading books to him or letting him tell me stories in his own language, watching cartoons, putting together puzzles or wrestling around on the floor are amongst my favorites. During his nap time and bed time is when I am usually able to finish homework, as well as my work. Cooking, baking, photography, scrapbooking, reading and gardening are somewhere on the list of enjoyment as well.
Positives: family, chap-stick, purses, flip-flops, cooking, photography, my hair, laughing, Disney, happy meals, traveling, books, movies, gardening, decorating, scrap-booking, goal setting, and the great outdoors
Television: Grey’s Anatomy, ER, Private Practice, House and Days of Our Lives
Movies: American Beauty, The Notebook, The Green Mile, Grease (1 & 2), Goonies, The Perfect Man, Love & Basketball and many, many more.
Music: I am a country girl at heart, but occasionally enjoy other genres of music. I enjoy The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bently, Rodney Atkins, Rascal Flatts, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Journey, The Doors, Kelly Clarkson, Michael Buble, Rod Stewart, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marvin Gaye, Colbie Caillat, etc. I am positive I am missing quite a few individuals/bands from this list, but you get the idea!
