Dear Park,

Thank you.

That is all.

Love,

Jessica

Babies the Movie

This really was one of the most entertaining movies I have seen all year. Giant smile of my face the entire time. I highly recommend watching it.

Watch the trailer here

I LOVED the Mongolian baby, every moment was so hilarious.

The Death of Cameltoe

Yes his name was Cameltoe, Stina named it, I didn't.

NAP TIME!

After work. Needed a power nap and I guess dude wanted to also. Claire took the first 4 images.

and more of max.... surprising right?

these are my favorite.

the warming of the house

yes that's a harpsichord .

everyone has been attempting Joanna Newsom but no one has come close.

claire made a fridge magnet max

doug hates him

it's warm now.

New house

they just keep getting better.

This is Chelsea.

I can't even begin to express how much this girl means to me. I rarely get to see her but last night I was blessed to spend a little bit of time with her and her son. I love you Chelsea, more than you know.

This picture of K is my favorite... At this moment he was waiting for me to hand over my camera so he could take a picture.

Max smells like a fish from those 180 fish oil pills but oh is he shiny... he literally looks like a wet slimy dog. he is the best.

Party Contour Drawings

Here are some more blind contour drawings. Last night we had a small house warming party at my new place. Later in the evening I wanted to do some portraits, I don't think I can get bored of them.

Melanie J and Michelle C

Patrick K and Chris H

Claire B and Pearl J

(Claire looks like a Simpsons character)

Just some names and Katie B

Jackie S and Andrew G

Another Andrew and Me

This is from a text I got from my 4 year old nephew a bit ago reminding me to come see him...

He is 4 and he sent me a text message... what kind of world are we living in? Either way I about cried when I got it.

keeping my camera with me pays off sometimes

Last week while driving home I saw this, at first I just though there was a car being lifted onto a tow truck but when I saw what was really going on I almost died laughing (which is okay because no one was hurt, the driver in the white car was driving 70 before lifting the SUV...idiot). Well, I was just happy to get a picture to show you.

Maybe I am the only one that will think this is funny but Scott ran over some gum. I love how perfectly stretched it is.

still my favorite.

I swear the days I wear this ring are the better ones.

This guy ate an entire bottle of fish oil pills today, all 180 of them.

Yay for what I will make of tomorrow

(I took these a few days ago while on my way out the door, somehow I hadn't noticed them before and that made me a little sad)

A while back I promised myself I would never again blog late at night but ooops... it's almost 3 am and here I am. I tend to write things I regret when it is this late, lack of censorship and magnified emotions.

I am tired from going full speed in place, does that ever happen to any of you? So tomorrow I will make sure to sleep in, I am going to take myself on a date for a little bit and just catch up on being alive (something I have avoided).

While at work I chitchat with Claire over gchat, most days I quickly make up a pseudo life for myself to let her know who I really am/supposed to be, sometimes I am gemologist or wildlife biologist, sometimes I am at home sewing something for a kid and about to pick tomatoes from my garden for lunch. Today I was okay with being where I was, that was nice.

okay.

Sunday Dinner

Jason,

your dinners are my favorite dinners.

Love

Jessica

Funny

I love when I catch these moments... (thanks nate for letting me use your camera).

The magnetic field of toilet water.

This is maybe the sixth time I have dropped my phone in the toilet. This time it was my iphone (my 3rd iphone)...

Today's email conversation with my brother:

Me: dropped my phone in the toilet, I have no way of getting a hold of mom, can you email me her number?

Travis: jess... new rule, no bringing phone into the toilet. Maybe you should get an ipad so it wont fir through the hole.


My brother has a point.

Dear Tiny Rocks,

Dear Tiny Rocks,

Please stop jumping in front of my car.
I'm sure your life isn't that bad.

This will be my 3 windshield in two years and those sheets of glass aren't cheap.

Love,
Jessica

A Tuesday

Today:
This morning I found a giant cookie waiting for me on the windshield of my car (thanks Bobby-it was THE best cookie).
Hour commute to work accompanied by rain and a mental gratitude list.
Spent 8 hours with my head next to burning strobe lights, thought to myself the entire time "I should have become a vet"... but not really.
Hour and 20 minute commute home, had one particular song on repeat for about 20 of those minutes, still craving it.
Dinner in a trolley.
Computer malfunction (or jessica malfunction) now I am on backup computer that belongs in the back of the trash bin.
Wanting to sleep and will in a minute after getting my 30 Rock fix.

I spent most of my day in silence, sometimes that needs to happen. Made a
personal inventory...what needs to stay, what needs to go and what is missing.

Laura and Jason Bridals

These two are just lovely. I will be photographing their wedding this weekend and will post about it early next week.

Tess and Adam

did some engagements photos for Tessa and Adam. They turned out great because they are so fun and creative. I will share more soon.
