.lucky.

Ah, yes. Ireland.
Someday I'll be backpacking through your luscious green hills, drinking typical Irish drinks, snacking on typical Irish treats, meeting all sorts of Irish people, visiting some Irish pubs, seeing everything that Ireland has to offer...
Someday.
But for now, St. George is juuuuuuust fahne (said as a southern belle). It's 72 degrees today! I even went for a jog yesterday and got some sun! Mmm. I'm even sitting at my desk with my window open, feeling springtime's gentle breeze. I love life. My roommate and I discussed how nice weather makes you want to take advantage of life--I have energy on minimal amounts of sleep! The problem is...it's energy to do things that aren't necessarily productive. Regardless, for a winter all cooped up, that first day in the sun feel miiiiiighty nahce.
I want to second Sarah's post about our twin boys! 2 words--adorable brothers. I can't wait to have more kids added to the group--they're certainly going to mix things up a bit with all the girls we have around here. Max will be very grateful to have some playmates, I'm sure. Congrats to Nate and Emmer, they're wonderful parents already. And to Caden and Blake--I LOVE YOU already!
And....shout out to Jaclyn! She's coming home May 4th, the day before I leave. I am beyond grateful that I'll at least get to see her, and possibly have her come to my setting apart! What a blessing. This girl has influenced me in my decision to serve a mission more than she'll ever know. Can't wait!And completely off the subject (though this post is rather scattered, anyway), but I just wanted to share "Ireland's Top Joke"....whatever that means. Ha, I enjoyed it!
A doctor says to his patient, "I have bad news and worse news."
"Oh dear, what's the bad news?" asks the patient.
The doctor replies,"You only have 24 hours to live."
"That's terrible," said the patient. "How can the news possibly be worse?"
The doctor replies, "I've been trying to reach you since yesterday."
Silly, silly.
Happy St. Patty's Day, y'all.

And good luck to my fellow peeps running the
Moab half marathon Saturday!
I might die, so come back for me when you've finished.
Can't wait for the festivities aside from running, too.
Motorcycles, sunshine, carbonara...YES.

Oh, and I love a good spring break spent at a condo in the mountains.

Love her.

  2. Jess,

    To answer the impending question: Yeah, I just discovered you had a blog, so I'm giving it a little test-drive stalk. That's why I'm posting on this now.

    I just wanted you to know that typical Irish drinks are booze and homemade booze. Stick with water while you're there.

    On a side note, sick music you've got here. Consider it downloaded. I'll think of you when I play it.
