Welcome to MY world!

About Me

My name is Jessica. I am a person who loves to live life. I think the easiest way to describe me is to liken me to a many faceted gem... something with a lot of color, like a ruby or a sapphire, that sparkles & shines with a different light every time you turn it. That's me. I am someone who likes many different types of things. I also like many different types of people. I believe in living life to its fullest and doing so with out regret. I like to work hard, play hard, and laugh a lot. One minute you might catch me being completely "country", blasting Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, or some other country artist, wishing for my big dream truck, wearing wranglers and on my way to a rodeo or the country fair. The next time you see me, I could be all dolled up, ready for a night on the town, LA style, complete with sushi dinner, drinks at a swanky lounge, and a night of dancing at a hot new club. Either way, you're seeing one of the many sides of me.
I love to be outside and in the midst of the beauty of mother nature. I think I will always need to live by the ocean. I really enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, swimming, snorkeling, skiing, and any other activity that gets me outside. I love rain almost as much as sunshine. Fall is my favorite season since I think the weather is perfect, cool & crisp, but the sun is still warm & bright. I also love the colors of the fall foliage. I LOVE animals, in all shapes and sizes. I have a dog and two rabbits that were all rescued. My boyfriend has a third rabbit that we bought at the fair. Eventually, I want a big ranch with a lot of land, horses, pigs, chickens, dogs, goats, cats, rabbits, and probably a ton of other animals. I want a big yellow farm house with a wrap around porch draped in wisteria vines and a HUGE garden with all kinds of flowers, herbs, and vegetables.
Activities that include friends are always more fun. I think sitting around watching Heroes or House and enjoying a home cooked meal w/ my close friends is a great week night activity. Sports events, days at the beach, game nights, happy hours, and clubbing are all events that are much better when friends are involved. Making new friends is always fun too. I love to cook all kinds of food for lots of people and I love eating & trying new kinds of food. I guess it's good I'm dating a chef :-D
Enjoying art, culture, travel, wine tasting, and the "classier" side of life is a lot of fun for me too. I am an English major and I love to read almost anything. Fantasy and fiction are my favorite genre. Jane Austen is my favorite author, just because she's able to laugh at life and her situation. I also have a HUGE appreciation for Shakespeare and his talent for making stories that are relevant no matter how old you are or how long ago he wrote the original. Musicals, plays, good movies, museums, and other similar forms of entertainment are all very interesting to me.
I am a person who tries to be a good friend and who cherishes family. I look forward to having a family and children of my own some day. I am currently dating a fantastic guy named Chris who is my greatest friend and a partner. We get along and understand each other so well and most importantly we make each other sooo happy. He really makes me appreciate love and look forward to our future together. For once I am antsy to start a life together instead of dreading the idea. He loves life as much as I do and I hope that someday we can impart that to our children.
Losing three grandmothers and a grandfather to cancer has made me realize how important it is to cherish every moment and every loved one. Living life to help others and enrich yourself is one of the most fufilling ways to experience life in my eyes. I believe in loving boundlessly, learning constantly, and laughing always. My favorite saying is "Live like you're going to die tomorrow and learn like you're going to live forever."
