where i'm at.

I started this last year in July - remember? Okay, not really.

I wanted to continue to update it every few months so I did it again in November.

So here I am again four months later....

Date: March 12, 2012

My Initials: JLD

Age: 26

Size: Medium top & sadly I type that I'm back in a 7/8 bottoms...

I hate it. But yes, I've put on happy weight that makes me sad.

Friday Nights: Either spent at home chill-axing, Pure Romance Parties or

Dinner with friends.

Hair Style: I did just cut 2" off my length but it's still

rather long and blond.

Favorite place to dine out: Lately Outback with the Hubs or Mellow

Mushroom with our friends.

Favorite Outfit: My brown cargo pants, my blue plaid shirt {but not together}& also my blazers.

Love Life: Completely happy. Wouldn't change anything. I would define Aaron and I "trying to grow our roots". Sounds lame but right now we are trying to focus on us & enjoy lifes little moments together.

Home Life: Great. Still trying to grasp my cooking talent. It struggles but getting better. We stay home a lot and enjoy 'Life in the Slow Lane' - really loving it. Aaron and I joined a kickball team - SO.MUCH.FUN. Our team name is a little craZy - BuntZ N KuntZ & they named me "Juicy J", Mommas gonna love that one. Ha! We practice/play on Sundays. Fishing season began back in January & Turkey season is days away from being here. That being said I noticed Aaron is being SO sweet and practicing his Turkey calling while on deliveries at work. And I didn't even has to ask. Whoa! Book study "The Politically Incorrect Wife" just ended for me but we see another one in the near future - I think it's great. - Morning Coffee with Momma is no longer morning coffee, sad I know but I had to manage my time and put my "balance" in order. I now do all my laundry, dishing, cleaning, & catch up on Ellen Shows in the morning - I DO still go see her for a few minutes if I have time usually about once a week. I found a new level of stress that I don't seen to have so much. Joe {Aaron's friend} is single again {sorry Joe} so I've gained my what we used to call him "my second boyfriend" back. {We love you Joe} He's joins us for dinner a lot throughout the week... and weekends.

TV shows: The Bachelor - Ben Flajnik {Monday Nights}, The Ellen Degeneres Show-Duh, & The River - which we both think is cheesy however we continue to watch it.

Extra time: Aaron LOVES working in his shed {I think it's so sexy} & I've recently been into stocking up on good kitchenware - otherwise known as keeping Willow House in business but hosting parties.

What excites me: *Monday nights watching The Bachelor {even though it's a lame season} * coming home to a clean house? Yeah, I'm getting old.* Recently just found a "Sloppy Joe" recipe that I happened to like - Aaron said it tasted "perfect but wasn't slopp enough" - Whatever that means. Being I'm not a sloppy joe fan, I was pumped about it. Again, I'm getting old. *Definitely Kick ball *counting down the days until St. Pattys Day {it's on a Saturday - 7 Days}* our cruise to the Bahamas in April {40 days}
*My iPhone *Draw Something *Angry Birds *Daylight savings was yesterday - I can actually leave work & still see light.

A moment I never want to forget:  Sitting at Fatz eating dinner with a group of friends & Mama J asked "So, how's married life? Anything changed?" And Aaron answered Yeah, I feel it's changed me. For the good, I think we have a different outlook on things - something about that made me feel so special.





This is written perfect - describes how we view our life to-a-tee right now.

where I'm at.

Some things can never be unseen. Memories are lost everyday. And small moments aren't captured. For me? There is nothing like talking about old times. I can do it all day, everyday, with anybody.

Remember July 22, 2011? Well here we are again, four months later.

Date: November 17, 2011
My Initials: are no longer JLA {my favorite} but a proud JLD or
Mrs. Jessica L. Drew
Age: 26.4 {if that counts}

Size: Medium, 5/6 {even thought my pants are unbuttoned as we speak}, 8 [shoe]

Friday Nights: Spent home {usually} or out with friends. It's a mixture of Hunting Season... SOOoOo.. it varies.
Hair Style: Long. Blonde. Short bangs.
Favorite place to dine out: Jalapenos [Order, The Gringa]

Favorite Outfit: Definitely my newest crochet{ed} headbands. I wear them daily.I'm not really feeling anything lately... does baggy & loose count? -

 
Love Life: I have a husband who is pretty awesome.

Home Life: Awesome. We are spending LOTS of time home & I've gotten serious itching going on to change all the colors on my walls. I actually changed my fireplace wall color {last night}. This website {Pinterest} that I am completely addicted to has been making a lot of fun things for the house. Recently just brought XBOX back into our lives, however we have the Kinect now also. Since then, we've been dancing the living room away...literally, to Dance Central. Its hilarious.
TV shows: Now a days, our channels consist of NFL {Red Zone} on Thursdays {sometimes} & all day Sundays. And when that is not on it's hunting shows. Yuck! Every now in then I get to watch re-runs of Criminal Minds & CSI {my new thing}.
Extra time: Enjoying our home. Making crafts. Relaxing.Dinner with friends.
What excites me: *Willow House. In 1.5 months I've been to three parties and... well spent too much. *Christmas time coming up. *New recipes {from pinterest}. *First time using my beautiful salad bowl {a wedding gift}. *Burlap, too much. * Our Christmas stockings {they are what inspired me to paint my fireplace wall} *Sundays spent alone, me time. *Have I mentioned Pinterest? *Dinner with my girlfriends. *Justin Bieber's new Christmas CD. *The new coffee shop "Ellianos" that is now located right in front of my office - that being said, their Turtle Latte Freezer & Everything Bagel with cream cheese... why are my pants unbuttoned? *Old Furniture * Pink Lipstick *Fall... and the crisp air.
A moment I never want to forget: Hearing Aaron call Comcast and hearing the words, "It's probably under my wife's number." - Not sure how that was any different than him calling me "Wife" instead of my name around the house... but it brought a HUGE smile to my face and butterflies to my tummy.
