Gigantic /  by Jessica Peterson

I watched the movie Gigantic last night.  I liked it but I am confused... If anyone has seen it and understands Zach Galifianakis' role (the homeless dude), please email me your thoughts.

I still recommend it.

I'm gonna ride... /  by Jessica Peterson

I have already reserved 3 flights so far with my All-You-Can-Jet-Pass with JetBlue.  
My first destination will be LA for a few days, I will be visiting Oli and Abs (the cutest nephew and niece sibling team on the planet).  I think we will be going on a treasure hunt while I am there.  Next I will hop on a plane in Burbank and land in Tucson AZ.  There I will hug little Jimmy (maybe the longest hug that will ever exist), see Kat's new babelet and run naked through the desert.  After a few days in the AZ heat I will be headed to NY.  Oh how I love New York!  New York will hold endless adventures and photo making extravaganzas... (Oh dear, my heart is beating through my chest and out into the open air). 
I plan on bouncing around the East for a bit... If you want me to come visit let me know and I will be there.

Good thing I keep my camera with me or else I would miss these kinds of opportunities, like when people try to catch frisbees in their mouths while jumping into pools.

Jessica's Wish List /  by Jessica Peterson

Has anyone read the "Secret"?
Well I watched it one morning about a year ago, the movie promised that if I had a positive attitude and kept what I "wanted" in my mind all the time then I would get it all.  That day I decided to try it out and see what would happen.  I told myself that my lunch that day would be amazingly perfect, I met with Ryan at Indian Palace for the lunch buffet. Like I had promised myself, it was a perfect lunch until I picked up the naan from my plate and found it to be crusty and cold... no good right?  So, I wished in my head with all my power that I would get fresh naan and it would be so soft and so warm, seconds after I wished this a man walked up to our table and held out a basket of warm naan to me, I smiled and laughed and I knew good things were about to happen.

The next day I forgot all about the "Secret" and my plans for becoming a billionaire by 30.

Until today...

Universe, This is what I would like...


A green yard with purple flowers and a veggie garden full of tomatoes to put in my sandwiches and pumpkins for my kids to pick at Halloween

Books and couches
Coziness 
An orange fridge in my kitchen full of my awesome cookie dough and cold milk, avocados and leftover casseroles.

A space for escaping to read and draw and take naps 

To have a home full of life and people and color

For light to always be welcome in my home

Okay... maybe this will never happen but I will put it out there anyway.  A sexy dude to carry me outside to our majestic desert backyard into a hot tub every evening to watch the sunset... (hey, a girl can dream right?)
And this.  Because dogs and kids are a great things to have around.

I really suggest you all do the same.  I think we all sell ourselves short by not figuring out what we want and working for it.

I Love /  by Jessica Peterson


I just wanted to just say that I have a love for photography/seeing/art/life/colors/communication/etc...  I really do. I love so much about it.
I would go off on a tangent but I think I have done that on here too many time. I will just say I feel blessed.  I wish I knew how to embrace this all years ago, unfortunately it took me a while to understand it all and forget about comparing myself and waiting to understand instead of just doing .  It took a while to get here, I still have a long way to go, but oh what a journey it will be. 


Exploring /  by Jessica Peterson

The other evening Rachel, Claire and I went exploring.  We went looking for some mystery lake and ended up nowhere.  The sun was setting and and we wanted to take advantage.  

Literally 10 minutes and 40 mosquito bites later we ended up with these.








I am excited for the near future! /  by Jessica Peterson

I invested in the All-You-Can-Jet-Pass from JetBlue. Basically I can fly unlimitedly to anywhere that JetBlue flys from Sep 8 to Oct 8. I am pretty excited about this. I will be posting about my adventures on here if you want to join me!


I can't bring the dog with me so if anyone wants to dog-sit for the next month let me know! It will be great practice for those of you who are thinking about getting a dog.
