Woo-hoo! I'm gonna be 17 in 3 days! I can't wait until my birthday...it's my favorite "holiday" haha. I just wanna be with my friends and Josh & have just a relaxing day. No drama or problems, just a perfect day...that's what I want as a present.

Anyway, Florida wasn't too long ago and it was alot of fun. Some highlights were:

-Seeing Cinderella's Castle: come on, that thing is beautiful, especially at night with the different colored lights and fireworks.

-Being with all my friends in various amusement parks with no teachers or schoolwork.

-Spending so much time with Josh. Every day was so much fun and he definitely made everything better than if I was alone. We had alot of fun at the parks and the hotel hehe  

-A nice, All-Star Hotel to a gorgeous,5 star, 4 pool, jacuzzi spa called Coronado Springs Resort...it was amazing.

-Not really a highlight, but 50 bandos got sick with the stomach virus and were throwing up everywhere and it was just really gross and smelly, but thankfully they're all better (especially Corey and Rachel )

-The girls I roomed with Rachel, Pam, & Jes, we definitely we THE coolest room haha.

Florida '06 was awesome.

Valentine's Day with Josh was great too. He bought me soooo much stuff and I am so thankful for everything and love him so much...more than I can ever show him and probably more than I seem I do sometimes. When we got back from Florida I cooked him a nice dinner and decorated the dining room in red and pink and got him a box of chocolates, a card, and a lil gift for the both of us but that's our lil secret hehe.

I LOVE MY MARINE

Well, band concert is coming up soon. AHHH we don't know the whole routine yet...AHHH!!!

Okay, enough with this update.

"Oh, I love you more mwah!"

It's February already...

This year is going by so fast, it seems like yesterday I was just beginning my junior year and my life was completely different from what it is now...

It's been a tough week, well past couple of days. I know we can get through anything, and worse things have happened, but this weekend is just gonna suck until Sunday. I can't wait until Sunday cause then everything will be alright and I'll be happy. I wanna hold him, see him...right now, but he's at work, and I work tomorrow night   I hate it when he's upset. Whenever I see him like that I feel something tugging at my heart and feel my eyes well up with tears cause I wish there was something more I could do. I wanna take everything that he has to do and put it on my shoulders just so I can see him smile and tell him it'll be okay...when I see him laugh and smile it makes my day...it'll be 3 months tomorrow and I don't know if we'll even see each other. How much does that suck...

Oh well. Florida is in 5 days. oh joy...

Well, it's a little bit earlier than 2 weeks that I'm updating, but hey who's counting...

3 day weekend coming up which is pretty cool, but then exams are up next which kinda sucks...but I may get exempt from my math exam since it's a senior class and I've gotten straight A's so I'm praying that I do. Then I only have Krieger's exam ahhhhhh!!! lol

It's my Joshua's birthday on Saturday  Saturday we're probably gonna spend the day together which is fine by me...and the perfect day that ever could be hehe. Then Sunday we're gonna go out to Ruby Tuesday's with a bunch of friends to celebrate it which should be a lot of fun.

Yeah..."stumpy" is gonna get their face punched in soon if they bother somone one more time lol  and my friends will help me......haha I needed to say that, I needed to get that off my chest...felt good...

Florida is in a month and I could not be anymore excited, I just know it's gonna be a great trip

Ok, that's about it. <3 Jess

*I love U more *

Oh yeah, re-did the layout of my xanga. I like it lol :)

Christmas break was amazing. It could not have been any better. I got...

--to spend every day with Josh :)

--presents from parents, money from the relatives, and a bracelet & build-a-bear from Josh

--new interent & tv service (my old stuff was horrible!)

--had a sleepover with my girls

Josh ate at my house for Christmas, New Year's eve (and slept over hehe), and for New Year's day...it was great.

Back to school tomorrow :( I'm not ready to go back lol. I'm having too much fun at home haha.

Well, that's about it. It'll probably be another 2 weeks before I update again so cherish this one lol :) <3

It's been a while since my last update...

Christmas is in 3 days!!! I'm so excited. My mommy has the whole house decorated (inside & out), and has baked a bunch of cookies, plus homemade fudge. Oh yeah, my mom can cook better than yours haha. Josh is coming over for x-mas too which makes me happy :)

I <3 my Joshua. He's officially a marine & I'm so proud of him. It'll suck for a little while b/c we won't see each other for 3 months, but I'm not gonna worry about that until the time comes. I'm gonna live each days as it is and cherish the time I have with him now. I'll get to write letters to him so we'll at least be able to stay in contact that way. I care about him so much (yes, I'm getting all mushy now lol) and no matter how mad we get over stupid, little things, we always make each other laugh the next minute by making fun of one another or trying to trip the other person haha.

Jamie's brother Derek came home from the Navy! He is so awesome and I think alot of people missed him. It was good to see him again.

Majorette dinner tonight was fun...Jes was my secret santa and I LOVE my gift hehe.

All of my friends got me great gifts & I love them for it! I hope Josh uses what I got him for Christmas or I'll make him lol I can't wait to see what he got me, but I know I'll like it no matter what :)

Ok, that's a good update. Merry Christmas :)

Muah! I <3 you more :-*
