Jess: Nope

Chase: So I have this friend from Wayne County would you want to go to Prom with him? Jess:*initial thought* No I do not want to go to Prom with a hick

*after thought* Aww shizz I'm going to prom with blind date who is from the middle of no where...its sad when no one within 200 miles of you will take you to prom...

[Three days before Prom]

Taylor: Is this Jessica?
Jess: Yes
Taylor: So... we are going to prom?

Jess: Yes

Taylor: Sweet we are going to prom.

Jess: Just so you know I am a very cute girl and I'm not a crazy so don't worry about being raped or anything

Taylor: Phew :)

and a freindship was born...

[Prom]

Good News, Taylor was cute, smart, and funny. And so with a gorgeous princess dress the night went as follows dinner @ JSH building The Garden, The capital, dorky pictures (seriously, did I think that was a cute face? what was I thinking) then Princess Bride. The perfect dress, the perfect date, a perfect kiss... a perfect night ;)

[Note 2 Self: 1. make dress modest a least one day before dance not day of

2. Princess Bride is an awesome movie

3. don't fist pump in a dress with tight sleeves

4. get in the party car... not the lovey dovey car...awkward...]

Life is Too Short to be Anything But Happy

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,

so love the people who treat you right,

forget about the ones who don't,

and believe that everything happens for a reason.

If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it.

Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it...

Laugh when you can,

apologize when you should,

and let go of what you can't change.

Kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances,

give everything and have no regrets.

Life's too short to be anything but happy

People are going to love you, hate you, hate to love you, and love to hate you,

but the ones who mean the most will always be there...

I Really Lived

I don't want to drive

up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp
I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk's lawn
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.
