Easter 2013



Happy Easter!

A different Easter this was.
For the first time in... I think forever my family did not get together to celebrate.
Everyone was with their extended families && it just didn't work out for the good.
Sad. Yes, I was very sad. However, I did get to spend the whole day with my husband.

We eat breakfast at Bridget & Patricks (my SIL & BIL) along with my grandparents in-laws & 
parent in-laws & Reid and Ryder. It was a great morning. 

We did not have dinner until 5pm so we really just were bums. 
We read our bible together which was pretty great. Aaron finished the last bit on our fence (finally) and I baked in the kitchen for just a bit. We watched Hangover II - weird for Easter, right?

Hiding & hunting Easter eggs are Grammye & Daas was awesome. Its one of my favorite 
parts - seeing ALL the kids & their excitement. Yay. 

Ending our day with a visit to Mom & Aarons. They were out of town spending Easter with 
Aaron (my dads) Mom, granny. I was very happy to have least saw my Mom for Easter. 
She too, agreed it wasn't the same.  Insert frown face. 

I also found out two people in my life were pregnant. 
How awesome. 

A best friend and a step sister. 
Isn't that just amazing? I'm more than thrilled. 
I will say that I was onto my best friend. I knew something was up - hoping pregnancy was the case
and well... I was right.

At the end of the day, I can say that one thing has not changed about Easter Sunday. 
My faith. 
My God oh mighty died two days before and rose from the cross for me. For you. 
For everyone & he saved this world.Wow.
Life is amazing knowing I have my faith & God to walk with day by day.

our ritual valentines day


In 2011, Aaron and I started going on a getaway (aka Aaron's fishing spot), Santee Cooper, SC.
This started the year we were planning our wedding and I wanted nothing more but Valentines to be about him therefore we stayed at his parents home away from home for the weekend.
It ended up being an amazing weekend that I wanted to continue as long as
we could. Soo...

I did not take many pictures when we were back at the house
however I manage to capture a few pictures on our first day on the lake.
It was a beautiful day. The water was so smooth. The sun was shining.
However, it was chilly. Very chilly - which is expected in February.



headed out for the day.


Jackson wanted nothing more than this donut.




My wonderful, amazing, 'everything I continue to dream of' husband.



Our first Buttercat of the day. We were pretty excited - he was trilled.
However, after weighing it Aaron was a bit disappointed. Weighing in at 37.5.
He's caught every 30 lber, every 30 + ounces but can't quite reach 40lbs.
So we continued.

My turn next. I prayed that CAT did not come off the hook.
17lbs, I don't know who was more proud - him or me.

&& that's about it with the fish pictures.  As I explained, it was really cold. You can see both of us adding more clothing as the day continued. The only one content was Jackson. We caught 2 more buttercats in their
teens before we wrapped the day up.

I absolutely love fishing days like this with Aaron.
Its incredibly relaxing. We don't do a whole lot but I think that's what I love about it.
There are no distractions. Just me & him (well... & this time we had Jackson) with all the time in the world.
... until the line goes off. HA!

Other happenings throughout the weekend:

We saw four different bald eagles on this day. Wow. Crazy.
They were all fishing too.

We eat dinner at Coasters, which was an excellent seafood bar/restaurant
that.... was connected to a strip club. Weird?
No. We did not spend out love weekend in the strip club.

We ended up NOT fishing on Saturday after due to the rough water &
weather forecast.  It snowed that night, how fun!

Jackson is so spoiled he is used to getting something delish when one
returns from 'dinner' (a steak bone) - he thinks he is human.
Well... we dined at a seafood place therefore we thought, " he'll get a bone tomorrow night. We will
get some chicken at KFC && he'll be fine".
KFC && Bojangles (the ONLY two fast food restaurants around) both had NO chicken
for 20 minutes. WHAT? So Jack got a personal steak from Waffle House... yeah, he's THAT spoiled.


Amazing weekend. Perfect way to spend Valentines.
No roses. No chocolates (except from my nieces/nephews). Just QT with Aaron.
EXACTLY how I want it. It's always perfect. I look forward to it every year!

XO, j

well hello world.


Holy Moly.
Its' really YOU.
You're back in my life?
Where the crud have you BEEN?

Yeah, yeah, yeah - I know. That's exactly what you are saying.
Well, the truth is. It's instagrams fault. Yep. Ever since that brilliant mess has entered my life... this life of mine, I've been a slacker.
Damn you instagram. But really, find me. You may see the quicker version of what's happening - jessicalyndrew

I sure hope you haven't given up on me. Please don't.
I'm back and ready to capture.
Okay, so where have I been?
I know I haven't REALLY blogged in ... a reeeeeeally long time.
You know I got promoted last year. And it took over my life.
You know we bought a house, in which has taken over our life ... for the good. Duh.
But where have I REALLY been?

Well. Here is goes.

I got depressed because I became thicker.
My clothes were being extremely mean and making me incredibly uncomfortable.
Changed? Nope. I found new clothes but hope to go back and find my other ones.
A struggle... yes.

I fell in love with the color purple.
Yes. I'm a lover of ALL shades of purple.

I quit my job.
Yep! I said it. I'm pretty much making money off my husbands salary now
and ... it hasn't been to tough yet. Actually, he loves it. I haven't gotten bored yet & I plan to not get bored.
Yes. You are thinking correct. I'm not going back. I am officially a SAHW as of 01/07/13.

I've developed an insane love for chocolate.
Is that weird? I've always liked it. But I'm like obsessed with it.
Weird, right?
Did anyone happen to get some Valentines chocolates from Victorias Secrets for spending a certain
amount recently? TO.DIE.FOR!!!
At first I thought, ewww gross. Cute but ugly. They sat there for days and I actually was going to give them to Aarons Grandma until I thought... weird? && had NO chocolate in the house && just took ONE.
opps. Holy Moly. They were AMAZING!
... clearly explains my pants issue. ugh!

I went to New York for a week.
Almost embarrassed myself to death by pretty much keeping myself from completely throwing up
all my delish candy that I famously posted on instagram stating I NEEDED these to survive the plane and yeah... let's just say the people next to me were sweating for me. The wind on the outside of the plane and I were NOT friends that day. Nor was it friends with a lot of people on the plane to say. BUT... I did get to visit my amazing family, be apart of my cousins (whom I'm a bridesmaid in her 01/2014 Greek wedding) engagement party, spend a few days with my daddy and step-mom &&...
drum roll
visit the city of Manhattan. YES! No I did not drive this time. Yes, I had a better experience. And I also marked a few things off my bucket list in which I'm dying to share.

Had a Housewarming Party. SCORE!
With all my amazing friends and family. It was great having them break in our new home
in which YES... I STILL need to do a blog tour. I've promised many of you. Hugs?
Love me still, please?

Friends of ours have had babies and several have become pregnant.
YAY! My love and joy is full and energized for these families. Love them.
LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of little girls have come and are STILL coming.

The Bachelor. Yes... I always have time for that show.
I'm still hooked. Basically Sean is great but really has me completely lost.
Am I the only one who has NO clue who he is REALLY into?  By this time I have a pretty good idea who the two last finalist will be. Let's just say after seeing last weeks preview DES (whom I love) will NOT be one of them. Thanks Brother ya big deush.  Along with The Bachelor/ette
we've gotten into Walking Dead. Okay so yeah. YIKES! Not really my thing. This gal aint gonna lie.
I had crazy nightmares for about two straight weeks (we didn't start watching until Season 3 was airing so we played catch up while the world was pissed about having to wait until February 10th). No joke. I'm still freaked out by the zombies and I may or may not run out of the room screaming "tell me what happens" as I plug my ears because lets get real - the music is scarier than the show... right?

Moving along.

So for five months I worked without a day off and had NO time... and I mean NO time to blog.
Remember all the times I stated, "I should be fired"? Yeah well.. they got their moneys worth. So much Aaron needed me back. My marriage needed me back. I needed me back. Everyone around me lost me and needed me back. And since I've become a SAHW, Life really hasn't slowed down. However, I will say I'm not crazy exhausted. I'm not ill or fighting to keep my eyes open.
&& no... I do NOT sleep in. I'm still up at 7am every day. Life has been good. I've been cooking every night. NOT struggling to make it all happen && working in a daily routine for myself.
I have a happy husband and as I've always believed that was my #1 priority && quite frankly it still is and always will be.

You're thinking kids?
HA!!

Not yet. I'm not pregnant and it doesn't come up for decision.
Do I think we are ready to become furparents again.. DUH!
Does that count?



peace.love.happiness
love you ALL.
miss you and glad to be back.

XO, jess

a weekend sleepover


Since it's hunting season && Punkle (Punk + Uncle) Aaron is busy doing his thing, I decided I needed company while he was out & about. Our first sleepover in the new house were my two of my nieces- Chloe & Emily Grace. They kept me company the entire weekend which means I had a total blast!
We made funny faces & fun food while breaking in the kitchen floor with play-dough, went to visit Grandma & Papa, indulged in Chinese food, did 'bump-bump-bump' ALL the way down the stairs... again and again and again, made chocolate chip pancakes, shopped, played headbanz &&....

learned Jalapenos is a Spanish word. The J is pronounced with the sound of  Haa, not Ja-la-peen-os before fillnig our bellys with chips, salsa &&
quesadillas!

{instagram photo - jessicalyndrew}

These two sisters love each other SO much.
They are extremely close.
Emily Grace gets her way ALWAYS if Chloe is around.

{instagram photo - jessicalyndrew}

It was a great weekend.
The girls had more fun than they imagined & Aunt Jessica
was pooped come Sunday. Total blast!

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

Yeah so, we bought a house!

On October 24th we signed our way back in to debt!
SCORE! 

Aaron and I are so happy. We are so excited with this next Chapter. We are completely in love with this new home of ours.
That being said, we have a lot of work to be done.

So... Here are a few moments captured of THE day we sat in the attorneys office with five other people at this long business table - we felt like big people. It was awesome!




Immediately after, we headed to Lowe's to purchase our washer & dryer {SO FUN} & also our refrigerator {even MORE exciting}, then quickly headed home to load up & move out && into this beauty....


Ekkkkk!
I'm smitten



first step in the doorway without permission.

It was a happy day for us.
We did not stay the night this night however I made it mandatory
we moved our bedroom & must haves to stay on night two.

but before we did...
Momma made a demand that he HAD to carry me threw
the threshold - "... it's good luck."




______________________________________
Coming soon....



... the move in.

Feeling a little....



Yep. You gotta it.

This couldn't explain more of what I feel like today.
Disgusting.

It's Thursday. It's 'wear you big clothes day'...
Oh wait, my big clothes still make me fell this way.

Aaron is gone out of town for a hunting trip.
Yes. I just announced this on my blog... for the world to see.

So help me Lord,  If you come into my home unannounced, RUINING my Lifetime down-time, to hurt me or steal from me, I have no problem blowing your head off with  several bullets and then torturing you until you die.

Do you see what feeling like a popped can of crescent rolls does to me...
makes me evil.

Anyway. Aaron is gone. And I think it's a great time to
start on my brand new tread mill. Maybe I won't look like a fluffy marshmallow
when he comes home... {sigh}

This is a horrible feeling. It's the worst ever.
I'll tell you right here. Right now. No secrets today Erin. I have my pants unzipped. All the way down... folded in to make it look like my shits together. 
They are unbuttoned. I won't take my jacket off.
I repeat. I will NOT take off my jacket.

Seriously. This is a complete waste of a cute outfit. What's cuter than a bunch of dough trying to breathe?
Maybe I don't look cute today but I totally have on a cute outfit that is unacceptably worn incorrectly. I feel horrible.

This sucks. I need to go home. I won't say it's worse than having the flu -
but it's pretty bad. Totally 100% not okay to feel this uncomfortable.

Help? Anybody? Somebody....

First Wedding Anniversary: A Piece of Cake

 
 

 
 
Let's start off by stating that our first year as husband and wife was more than amazing.
It really was. 'First year is always the hardest' says everyone. Not saying it can't be but for us, it really was better than I ever could have imagined.
 
We spent our first year spending a lot of QT with each other.
Aaron and I never watched more movies & TV shows in a whole 11 years together than we did this one year. It was great. We took a few vacations, spent weekends with family & friends and weekdays at home cooking dinner, doing laundry & cuddled up on the couch.
Life is usually in the fast lane for us, but this year was about me & him.
 
Take a moment to enjoy our photo session with tradition.
 
 Eating the Cake
 
 
 
I can honestly say our cake was just as tasty as it was one year ago.
The wine we toasted with was a bottle brought down from Long Island, NY
to have waiting for us in our room when we arrived on the night of our wedding day.
 
 
We played scrabble in the since of describing our first year.
 
 
'When thinking of Jessica & your first year married to her... what comes to mind?"
 
 
 
as sweet & hopeless romantic my husband is not...
he puts "Earth".
 
If you've ever seen the movie Couples Retreat you will understand.
Thanks honey.
 
&& as the same questions is asked to me...
 
 
&& then Aaron gets excited and starts changing his ALL up.
 
 
 
Papa T is who my husband calls himself when trying to be big & bad around the house.
 
 
We wrote messages to each other && never saw them until we
received these pictures (in which were waiting for us when we go trip.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
&& ending our photo session on some dandelion love♥
 
 
 
 
 
 
I love him more everyday.
 
(Actual trip recap WILL be coming soon)

growing old only sucks for bananas

{taken after his birthday dinner at Outback}

Happy Birthday Love!


This post is one day late. Oops! But since I never finished my "shout out" to my amazing husband on our anniversary, I figured I'd at least let him know on his birthday how much he is he means to me. This day,  {10.10} is always a day I look forward to.  It's almost as if it's my birthday - I always feel so blessed which is why I make it a big deal to celebrate. {any birthday}

28 years of life, 14 years of life with me. Every year gets better.
Clique? Yes. But it's so true.  So here it goes. Pure Cheese.


Aaron,  you are my favorite person, place & thing.
You are the  best part of my morning {even though I totally am out of it, no joke}
the best part of my work day {your random calls & sing-a-longs are never old which is why I never delete you VMs} and most of all the best part of my night. You will never know how truly special you are to me, even if I try to explain with my cheesy words.

God is amazing for keeping you around another year. I will forever be thankful && always grateful he gave me you. Okay... I know, I thought of Blake & Miranda too.
But really. Outside that song, I am not trying to get cheesier but you really are the best gift of my life. Why we are on cheesiest I'm going to end my post with
the words of Jerry McGuire, "You complete me".

You are the  best thing -
Xo, J

... just dropping in to say HELLO! Xo


I'm alive. I promise.

The truth is...

I am slamming busy. I FINALLY received that top notch promotion
I've been trying to move up to for a year now && this is what it has me doing....

Yes, I am THE agent of my own store.
If you live close, come see me. You now have my office number.
I've waited for this for SO incredibly long.

Remember all those times I've said, "I should be fired..." yeah well...
I have NO time to be fired now. I am steady paced and non-stop ALL.DAY.LONG.

They are getting their moneys worth. I am getting my moneys worth.




We are also packing up the house STILL trying to get everything squared away
for our big move.

Buy a house is .... well it was super easy but has turned into a little bit of a
progress. Aaron and I are MORE than ready to be in our new home.

We close in a few weeks. Mid October HOPING for sooner.
If I could get these people moving we'd be in there next week.
Let's just say my entire house is packed except big furniture, my kitchen for the most part, && our bath/bed room.

Our house is empty. BOTH of them. Maddie Belle Davis house is
more than ready for our company.

I can NOT wait to share all the FUN STUFF I've started buying for
this beautiful home of ours.

You'll love it.

I promise, no for real this time...

I promise to get back on track. Finding balance seems to always be my issue.
But right ... work MUST have my time.


Ohh.. && we had a WONDERFUL first anniversary.
IT.WAS.PERFECT.
We did NOT get to go to Destin {insert sad face} due to Hurricane Irene
&& my Aunt having complete heart failure. Yikes! HUGE scare.

She is well && her recovery was a miracle.
Thank GOD, the man above for everything he does for us.

Aaron and I took a random...

&& I mean RANDOM trip to north Georgia.
Antiqued Shopped, Hot Air Balloon Festival, && even ended up
hiking a mountain {never.again!}, visiting a Safari && learning ALL about
butterflies && nature.

No... we were NOT on 4-H camp.
It was better than I could have ever wanted it to be.

I miss you ALL && would love to hear from you.
But I gotta go now as I get back to work.

Love you. Mean it.
Tootles.

A visit from life, love & puppy prints - HELLO Carolyn!

 Well hello there! :)

 I'm Carolyn, and normally I blog over at life, love and puppy prints


However, today I'm taking over Stilettos and a Fishing Pole! 

As you're reading this post, Jess and her man-child husband Aaron will be enjoying their anniversary trip in Destin.


Can we say JEALOUS?!?!?!

I'm so excited for Jess and her husband, and so glad that they're having a blast celebrating their one year... but I have to say admit...

It makes me SO EXCITED for our one year anniversary trip! 


 Jake (my handsome hubby) and I were married on September 30th, 2011 in downtown Saint Paul, MN.

It was one of the BEST days of my life, and I'm so excited to celebrate the anniversary of such a special date!


That's right! In about a month - the husband and I will be flying here:

 Lake Tahoe!

EEK!
Neither one of us have ever been to Tahoe, so we're super excited to experience it all together for the first time. I've done a ton of searching online to start planning what we want to do while we're there... and let me just say. It's going to be a pretty great trip! 
Here's some of the stuff we have planned... 

Hiking
Jake and I aren't huge nature people... 
but we definitely want to go hiking and experience the natural beauty that Tahoe is known for!

Aerial Trams
Since Tahoe is a huge skiing and snowboarding area... there are tons of aerial trams to bring you to the top of the mountain. Aerial trams will bring us there, let me take pictures and stay nice and cute. Perfect! :)

Stateline
Stateline is literally the state line between Nevada and California, and it's lined with old school casinos and hotels! I can't wait to go do some vintage style gambling! Hopefully we have as much luck as Jess and Aaron have had on their many cruises! :)
 Squaw Valley
The 1960 Winter Olympics was held in Squaw Valley, and even though we're going to be there before the snow hits... I can't wait to see this place! The history and the sights should be pretty amazing!


Food
Jake and I LOVE food, and we love trying new restaurants. I can't wait to try out some of the yummy restaurants around Tahoe!
I can guarantee there will be quite a few food pictures happening on my Instagram feed!


Mansion tours
Jake and I love going through old mansions and learning about the history of the families that lived there. The gorgeous details that go into these houses is amazing, and I can't get enough of it!


 Relaxing
While I'm SO excited to do all of those things... the thing I'm most excited for is to spend time with my husband and RELAXING while enjoying the gorgeous scenery. Yes please!

_______________________________

I'm going to go back to counting down the days until our anniversary trip, but first... 
I want to wish Jess and Aaron the happiest of anniversaries!

You two are an adorable couple and deserve all the happiness in the world!! :)

Turning the page of Chapter ONE...


One year ago I was on my way to take my unexpected
bridal portraits at the most gorgeous place in the south, The Ford Plantation in which I had no intentions of taking however my MOH, Danielle set the entire thing up for me. This place was breath taking.

It was one of the fun-est days of my life.
I have never felt more like a fairytale character, like Scarlet from Gone with the Wind, like a movie star, like everything a little girl dreams of - that was me on this day. It was a day I always dream off - other than my wedding day.

Truly amazing.

I was six days away from marrying the best person in this world.
I was six days from being a wife.
I was six days before vowing my life to Aaron forever.
I was six days from  the most joyful day of my life.

Today, I am six days away from our
 first wedding anniversary.

I don't think there is a word that describes how truly wonderful this
year has been for us. We've had so much fun. We've changed our "plan"
a million + 1 times. We've grown closer than I ever could imagine we would or even could... 

 While turning the page of Chapter One,
I am here to announce...

Earth to Jessica, I'm ALIVE!

hell-Oo friends!!!
Where on earth do I begin? Maybe with explaining my absences on le blog. Well, I'm here to say that life kicked back in the last lane for Aaron and myself.
We've been non-stop for weeks now. It's one thing or another - but we aren't complaining terribly.

Truthfully, I started slacking in the blog area back when I signed myself up for an 8 week challenge that I have promised to update you all about - loosing weight?
Yeah - complete fail. Which in fact, is why I did not really write about it.
I hated that I failed. It's totally bummed me out. Seems like I get a burst of motivation && them wham - it's gone.
Remember when I was running daily? I will filling up your instagram with random running shoes & sweaty facial pictures daily. I was doing SO good. However, my hometown went through a time when it rained for like 5 days straight and sadly that's my excuse on why I quit running. I believe I lost like 5 or 6 lbs?
Yeah, well I gained it back. && became more bloated it seemed.

Me = completely miserable.

Then I dropped the $$$ for a 6 day body detox which I completely failed.
I don't think I made it through the second day. I bought thermus, hand held blenders, a lunch tote && LOTS of fruit & veggies. I did manage to eat a lot of fruit & go more natural however, the detox was horrible. I could not for the life of me
get anything to taste normal. My shakes were gritty & ... just not pleasant.
I struggled terribly getting it down. By the time I was ALMOST finished with breakfast shake/smoothie it was lunch... another one? Yes, && by then it was Dinner. Needless to say I still have an entire kit. Anyone want it? I'll ship it to ya!
Because I'm out.

Where I am at with my weight goal? So I went on my trip with my
friends from Middle School, which was a complete success. Awesome weekend & yes, I wasn't quite where I wanted to be, FAR from it. In fact, I had to go bathing suit shopping because I have NEVER like the story Moby Dick & I was NOT gonna look like him on the beach.

However, as of today. I've been going to the gym every morning && learned that I love running on the treadmill. Seriously. So much easier?! Ay?
I signed up for weight watchers last week for a 3 month trial && I've lost 6 pounds so far.

SIX POUNDS IN ONE WEEK.

Hard work pays off. I'm not taking my diet life to serious yet as serious as I want to be which is pretty damn serious. What I mean by it is, last night I had ice cream.
Not the weight watchers kind - my throat was killing me && I had a headache.
It's the only thing that seemed to make sense. I'm not going to beat myself over it.

Enough of that.

Aaron and I are 1.5 weeks away from celebrating our
 FIRST Wedding Anniversary.

Saaaay WHAT?
Can you believe it? ONE YEAR.
Which is another reason I've been away from the blog. All my time has been looking up && planning out our trip to Destin, Florida.

 
 I have a lot planned for the blog to you must not give up on me.
I have a few guest bloggers coming to visit, a "Paper" tutorial {hence, first wedding anniversary gift} & several other wedding/anniversary related posts.
Super fun!

Last but not least, I'll tell you my fingers, toes && every other part of my
body that can be crossed is cross && have been for months now.
I've been looking to transfer to another location with a raise && promotion...  I want this so bad - so if you could say a prayer for me, it would be awesome. I'd love you always && would appreciate it.


&& ....

The hubby and I have been house searching.
Whaaaaaa-t!!!

That's right. We are looking for our start home to raise our little ones
who have no been created yet {nope, not preggers} with a LOT more space
&& something we can grow into for the next 10 years!

Hours && Hours - Texts back-n-forth ALL.DAY.LONG looking, searching -
getting pre-approved by the bank {score!} && then walking through...
It's tiring but very exciting. As of yesterday, I believe we found THE ONE.

I'm in love.



House talk comes later. We are into the paper work now, so you'll
here more soon. {hopefully}

For now, my time has come to an end.
This blog && my typing actions will be back in gear...
Don't forget to come back next week!

First Wedding Anniversary = DESTIN



Aaron and I could not be more excited to
be celebrating our first wedding anniversary in just three weeks.

Wow! Where has time gone?

After hours & hours, day after day of research of
finding the perfect place to celebrate our first amazing year of being
husband and wife - we have finally found our place...

Destin, Florida

I've always heard it was beautiful & people talk highly of. After reading it was voted the #1 beach in the Southern Living Magazine I figured I check it out - oh yes!


The water really is that crystal!
I'm so excited to experience it but most of all I'm so happy to be able
to spend the whole weekend with Aaron.

 {Are those kids underneath the pool water? Uhh, weird?}

Reservations were booked yesterday.
Ekkk!

Now it's time to research places to eat, entertainment,
daily-do's, beach adventures, & definitely some kind of fishing experience.
I'd love to surprise Aaron with an offshore adventure.

Ticket Bookings = Paper?
 Hmmmm....

Have you ever been to Destin, Florida?
What do you suggest?


If you are interested in Guest Posting about your 1st anniversary,
please contact me ASAP - I will give all details through email.
