Gburg {cont}...

I was looking around on FB and found these pictures on Dasha's {an ambassador} profile....


I am just borrowing them for the time being ;)

{Dinner on our last night there}

... i was ready to be home by then

Busy Bee

College began this week for me and i couldn't be busier with classes, job and upholding my Ambassador duties! On top of all that {including studying, homework and visiting home}, i just applied for a second job. I guess you could call it a third job since being an Ambassador is a 24 hour job and we have to meet requirements on our hour sheet. Let's just say, i'm a busy bee. 


Last weekend, before classes started, i went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee with the Shelton Ambassadors. It was a trip designed to help get to know everybody and bond as a group. We have a really big group this year... 43. All 43 {plus adults} headed to Tennessee Friday morning at 8 o clock! It took us 8 hours to get there. Most of our trip was spent on the charter bus, but it's okay, because we bonded and got to know each other VERY well while sitting so close to everyone. 


Here is what an 8 hour trip to Gburg will do to anyone...

... make anyone go INSANE!!!  {please excuse the picture quality... Mr. Mac was my camera for the trip due to the fact my camera is broken and i left the fabulous one with Mom}

We had so much fun though...

{they enjoy being together a little too much}

{Bryant was under there hiding!!}

{Jeremy... Pate.... HILARIOUS}

{BLAIR... she's sooo pretty :)}

Pretty Girls... in Pretty Places

Another photo shoot with pretty blue-eyed Diamond Murphy. We enjoyed the first photo session so much that we decided to do another... and then another during the winter time {her idea}. This girl is too sweet for words and loves smiling for the camera {which i love}.

I miss you

Mom,

I miss you.. a lot. I had different feelings about living on my own then i do now. I miss you and the family so much and i hate waking up and not being with my family. I cook breakfast enough for five and i can't stand all the quietness. I am used to all the noise and a little girl sleeping by my side every night. It will take me a while to get used to all this. I feel like i'm on vacation and ill be back home in a few days. I really feel like that because i have been to the pool almost everyday. I guess thats kind of funny :)

You mean so much to me and I couldn't do half of what i do without you, mom! You took care of me for so long, and now i get to spread my wings and experience some of life on my own. You have taught me so much and i am ready to take everything i learned out to the real world.

There is no one here to clean my room, do the dishes, vacuum the floor and do the laundry. I have to do all that, EW! {just kidding mommy}. I miss my mommy, a lot... in case you didn't know that already. When you left the apartment, it was the hardest thing i had to watch. I didn't want you to leave. I wanted you to stay forever! I get home sick a lot. I try to keep my mind off of it, but it's really hard. I love getting calls from you, Heath, Daddy and Molly. Molly's calls are adorable! She called me yesterday and the first thing she said was "When are you coming back home?" I want to be home, NOW!!!

I love you so much, I will see you soon :)

Your Daughter,
Jessica

I miss you mommy :)

Bitter sweet moments

So im pretty torn up right now! I just moved into my new apartment and my family is not that far away, but they might as well be in Asia! They feel like they are hours beyond hours away! Now that im gone, i want to be back... SO BAD!!! 


It's a different feelings and im not too sure how i like or dislike it. My mommy is my everything! i love her so much and i pray God takes care of her and the family! 


While these two days might have been the hardest of my life, it was also very fun! Moving in took A LOT of work, but we had eight people helping us so it went by pretty fast!

Welcome to Kalli & Jessica's apartment {weird} :)

{no food, welcome to college life}

Thank you for visiting :)

{Kalli's room isn't finished yet, and she wasn't there to take pictures}

Sweet love birds

... that's what this couple is! They are too cute for words.

They hardly looked at the camera because they were too busy giving each other those "googly eyes".

This last picture is my favorite from the entire afternoon! :) This couple was so adorable to watch and so much fun to photograph! 

Hope we can do it again V & C!!

It's the little things...

that makes me smile.

 

  
The story behind this picture is pretty sweet. Sunday morning we had a WONDERFUL church service at the Lighthouse. I was more than impressed with the power of God! He moved everyone's hearts in that room. After we worshiped by singing for what seemed like not enough time, B.R preached an inspirational message. After my eyes had cleared of water {they were sweating of course ;)} i looked over at Heath and he was reading his Bible. As soon as i looked at him, i knew right after the service i wanted to capture this Sunday moment by taking that picture of his hands and the Bible. So i did :)

It's the little things, like good Sunday worship that makes all the days better.

Pretty Little Pictures...

More pictures, yeay!


These three gorgeous ladies had a fun photo session with me Thursday afternoon. Diamond Murphy was up first, we actually used more memory on the camera than i thought we would, but we had fun doing it! Mom and MG were up next to capture some pretty precious moments!

Three very pretty ladies did a very good job! MG took over the camera with that adorable personality, Diamond hogged the camera with those gorgeous blue eyes and mom took my breath away with her stunning smile and poses :)

Thank you ladies!
