New Apartment

Looks like I never posted photos of me and Jon's apartment on my blog. We moved in together in the beginning of 2007. It is a two bedroom- two bath apartment. We are located at the back by the woods so we have a nice yard and fire pit behind our place. We have done a lot of painting and minor repairs since we moved in. We both really like it, its the perfect size and hope to stay here until we can find a house. We have looked at a few houses, but haven't had any we have fallen in love with.

Here are some pics...

Bathroom (I know the paint looks crazy, but in person it really looks nice!) The wet bar! Back porch

I've been lost!!! Someone found me!

I had a personal request to quit slacking on my blog site. And this person is probably right, I have had a lot of adventures recently to share!!! I am going to try and get a few posts on to get everyone caught up with my shenanigans!! Bare with me it may take awhile! ~Jess

Amanda Comes to Ktown!

Amanda came up for a visit to check out Kokomo for the weekend! So glad she got to come up and visit with all my friends. We had a great time except the part where Jerzie started puking in the car! RIGHT!

Gran Prix 2007!!!! Let's just say I was in my costume until 7 pm....so you can do the math how drunk I was! Somehow I didn't lose my wings or my arrows!

Sorry guys....had to put this on here because it is hilarious!
Two of my faves!

Big B came back in town for a weekend to see all of us! We headed down to Howl At the Moon where Brock had reserved the Moon Deck for us and we all had a blast. Then a few of us headed to the Hilton and had some fun at the hotel! It was great to see so many faces that I have not seen in awhile since we all live in different cities!

Sand Painting

Our church showed this video to open our Easter service. It is incredible, it starts out with creation and moves farther forward until Jesus died on the cross. Watch it!

Skiing at Bittersweet

I braved the slopes of Bittersweet! Jonathan loves to snowboard so he took me skiing up in Michigan. He was so patient with me and was such a good teacher! We stuck to the bunny hill for awhile, had a few beers and I was ready for a bigger hill. It probably took me 20 minutes to just get up the nerve to finally plummet down it and I crashed BIG TIME! My spirits were a little down so I headed to the bar, we got a pitcher and then he went off to conquer some of the bigger slopes. I had a great time just sitting in the ski lodge and watching my hot hunk in all his snowboard gear going down these crazy slopes! After awhile I was ready to start trying again and started to get the hang of it. We stayed until about 11 and then headed to the hotel exhausted! We had such a great time! Here are some pics from our trip!

Our drive to Michigan....Jonathan sportin his ski googles! On the ski lift! I am sooo scared! Smooches to make me feel better.....ask you can see I am smiling now considering he is kissing my grin!

Me on the bunny hill!
Liquid courage! One of theaftermath marks!

Lulu is Missing

Please help us find my bro's puppy! Someone left the side gate unlatched (we are guessing a meter reader cuz no one uses that gate because it is densely covered in bushes!) and Lulu escaped! We have posted up signs all over the area, and we have been walking the neighborhood a few days a week with Jerzie hoping to find her. We also placed two ads in the newspaper and one on the radio, no luck yet :-( If you have any information call me, keep your eyes open if you are in Ktown and for those of you not in town keep her in your prayers that she is returned to us!

She is a black and white boston terrier mix. She has white markings on her face, feet and tip of her tail. She is wearing a black collar. She is about four months old (just a baby!) and we have raised her since she was 4 weeks (awwww so sad) Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

Andrew's 21ST Birthday!!!!

So my brother turned 21 in DECEMBER!!! and I forgot to put up all his pics from that night! How bad of a sister am I! We started out at our house, we drank a bit there and then mom and dad picked us up in the limo. We piled everyone in and headed up to The Grill. We hung out there for a bit until he was all liquored up and then he wanted to head over to the strip club. I wanted to go soooo bad, but was scared I would see a parent or something there.
Turns out they had a helluva time, he got his boxers ripped off him by the strippers on stage and they beat him with belts! I missed it!! That would have been hilarious to see, I made him pose with his boxers to show the aftermath of what they did to him. He had welts on his back the next morning from their torture!

Mom's Valentine Card

Ok- how cute is this...since my mom was snowed in she couldn't get out to get my dad a Valentine's Day card. So she "shuffled" and "hopped" through our front yard and wrote....IKILY....It stands for I Know I Love You, it was their little thing they said in college. When I pulled up to their house I thought someone had vandalized their yard and wrote KILL.....in the snow!

Blizzard 2007

SNOW SNOW SNOW! FUN! FUN! FUN! Here are some pics from Blizzard 2007, all types of crazy things happen when it snows for 24 hours straight! We had fun being snowed in for 2 days and hanging around the house, plus we snuck out for a bit and had some fun with the truck! I got A LOT done for school, having the two days off was great for me to get caught up on the things I usually postpone until later. We got the apartment almost finished, painting-wise." We also had our familys over to watch LOST and play our new board game "Apples to Apples" which is hilariously funny! It is a lot better while drinking, but since we are about 40 days into our 90 day sobriety punishment we had to stick to cokes and water! It was fun to have my mom, dad and brother and Jonathan's parents over, and especially enjoyable since I KICKED BUTT in the game!

Family over for some Apples to Apples action!

Playin in the Snow!

This is how I found Jonathan napping one day!
