My college years are quickly coming to an end! At first I was THRILLED.  I still am thrilled to be done with tests and studying!  There still are a few things I will miss. One of these things will be my AMBASSADORS!!!  For the years that I was up here at Utah State, I was able to be part of an AMAZING team...the Utah State University Ambassadors.  All of the people on this team truly are remarkable, and the best of friends!  I have had some of my best memories with this team!  I LOVE AMBASSADORS!! :)  Here we are at our final banquet at Hamiltons.  I hope we can all stay in touch!!!  And I wish you all the best :)
Everyone and their spouses!
The Days and the Whatcotts :)
This is a dear friend Vannessa!!  She was an Ambassador with me until she graduated, and now she is a professional!! Love ya Ness!
Up above you will see the best of all ambassadors.  We are the TRANSFER AMBASSADORS!! :)  In my opinion, and everybody elses of course...we are the coolest of the cool.  And here we are sportin' our ugly faces.  Rodney...yours is VERY scary.
Friends Forever! Sarah and Petra...TOB
Not only are we cool...we are hot! ;) Petra, Ali, Amanda, Sarah, Kylee, and Me.
These two gentleman came from Snow College such as I.  They are the comic relief of the group :) Jord and Rodney.
This is the award that I got that night...the True Blue Transfer Award.  I was so happy!! Thanks to everyone! I SERIOUSLY LOVE YOU ALL!! And remember...TOB!!!!!

My latest project...


Ok! So this picture isn't the exact ones I did, but they look really similar! For a project while we were in St. George, my mom got all of the g irls these cute hangings and a board and we crafted all day long while the boys golfed! We also went to Zumba...now that was fun! But we are starting a tradition where each month we paint new 'hanging things' to put on our new boards...what a cute idea eh?
So...speaking of St. George...I have been looking forward to this Easter trip to St George since last Easter trip to St George...and it didn't let me down!! It was SO MUCH fun to spend time with the family!!! And it was warm! We crafted, played beach volleyball and ultimate frisbee, swam, ate out, ate out, ate out :) and just had a good time with the whole extended family! We are all getting so big, it is so wonderful that we can all still get together! I hope that we do FOREVER!! We watched Conference and then had an Easter egg hunt. The best part of it was that TYLER FOUND THE GOLDEN EGG!! Woot Woot! Yes ladies and gentleman, on this Easter Sunday Tyler and I became $50 dollars richer! haha...the Annual Easter Egg Hung is always so much fun! Being with family is a million times better, thanks for a great time everyone!!!!!! Oh and PS? NEXT TIME TYLER AND I GET A DARN BED!!!
Moving on. Right before I Tyler and I went to St George I had a huge project due in my Dress and Humanities Class. I had to create an outfit out of something recycled or like a household item...so of course I used good ol' garbage bags! I ONLY used garbage bags and tape...lots of tape! It was a hard project, but it turned out pretty nice!
The title of my project was 'Dressed In White' so I decided to make a wedding dress. As you can see, I cut off all of the top draw strings and pulled them out....this is how I created the back of the dress for a perfect fit for any size! It cinches up perfect to the body!
After I made this top part, I put a waiste on it and tied it in the back, then I started bunching the bags to tape them on for a skirt part! This was no easy task. Here is another picture of the back of the dress.
After that I decided the back was really cool, but the front was too plain. So that is when I got the part that I tore off of the yellow draw string and I bunched it up for a fashionable scrunch that goes down the top center of the dress.
When the dress was done, we had to have a model wear it down the runway at a fashion show at the school. I was in St George for the fashion show, but I hear it was a big hit! This is a girl trying on my dress to see how it fits.
I made sleeves out of the yellow part by just braiding it, and walaaaa! The dress was complete.

I had to make some accessories as well...here is the fashionable purse with a headband that mathches perfectly ;) ....so, this dress is for sale! Or you can have it for free. :) Any takers??? I will even throw in this beautiful hand bag and head band! Just what every girl wants.

A Relaxing Weekend...

So I have been pretty busy with work and school, and it seems like every weekend we are on some sort of mini vacation! This weekend we stayed at home, and it was very relaxing! It is a good thing we did because Tyler was sick :( He is a trooper though, he just keeps going! So on Sunday afternoon after church, Tyler was taking a nap on the couch and I decided to finish a project that I started at the beginning of March and haven't been able to complete! I have wanted to do this since BEFORE we were married! But this is my finished project...the DAY letters :) They were fun to do. I took a picture of Tyler too, because he is so funny when he sleeps! He starts out all cuddly but he ALWAYS ends up like this. I have had SO many elbows in my face, its a mystery how I don't have bruises on my face! I get mad at him in the night but he is such a heavy sleeper he just mumbles sorry and sleeps away! Haha, he is so funny. Anyway, just thought you all should see my cute husband :)



Hello! I just wanted to share with you all these horrible things that were attatched to my chest for 24 hours! I don't know how many of you have had heart monitors, but they ITCH LIKE CRAZY! I couldn't sleep all night long. I had to get them because my heart 'palpatates' or something like that? But there were four more of those buggers below those ones! I haven't gotten the results back but I am pretty sure I am fine :) Tyler thought it was funny that I was whining so much, so he took a picture to remember. Ahh...the joys of pregancy. I swear, they find every single little thing that is wrong with you! I am just happy our baby is healthy :) I am 15 weeks! I feel like I am just getting fat...my pants are starting to get a little uncomfortable. Other than that life is great and I am doing just fine :) By the way, thank you all for the love and support you have given me!

Winnemucca!











Last weekend for a wonderful getaway Tyler and I drove to his brothers in Winnemucca! It was such a relaxing trip, and SO MUCH FUN! I wish it lasted longer! One of the days we went 4-wheeling...oh my, it was awesome! We went to the gas station and got icecream, and then we went out in the mountains and played around! Tyler and I went threw some mud/lake things, it was awesome! Jerry, Tylers brother, is a daredevil on these things! He can drive on two wheels for a long time! And he crashed into a ditch. We loved hanging out with Jeremiah, Eowyn, Khyra, and Brian! We also got to hang out with Chris and Kami, it was an awesome weekend. THANKS GUYS! :)

I have been waiting SIX weeks to do this! I decided I had to wait for my 12 week appointment, so, if you havent guessed(or I havent already told you...haha) ...I AM PREGNANT!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSS!! :) I will be 13 weeks on Monday, the due date is September 23rd! Oh my heck, what a wonderful surprise! :) I found out at six weeks, it was unexpected but I just had a 'feeling' so I got pregnancy tests and Tyler thought I was crazy. He has always told me that when I get pregnant he wants me to tell him in a cool way...so I ended up screaming OH MY GOSH and then I slammed the bathroom door when he asked me what was wrong. I was like, nothing! But than I started screaming again so he knew...haha, I told him in a 'Jessica' way, thats cool, right? We told both of our parents that very weekend by giving them a card that said on the front...something about having new little feet to follow them around...or something, then you opened it and it said, your going to be grand parents! Haha...I know people usually wait forever to tell people, but I stinkkkkkkk at secrets, especially one SO GREAT! I was pretty darn sick for about 5 weeks, but I am feeling great and only get nautious every once in awhile! The major difference is I am very tired. Anyway, Tyler and I are VERY VERY excited to have this new spirit in our home!! WE ARE GOING TO BE PARENTS!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) P.S. I had to post the 'pee sticks' :)
