Jessica

My sweet Jessica had her baby last week (FINALLY!!!) So Jess, here is your tribute.

I just love Jessica. She has been such a fun part of my life since junior year of high school when we rode the bus to her house one day. She did my hair and then we drove to Mobil in her mom's minivan. While Jess was pumping gas, she locked the keys inside. My first impression of her mom was that I was terrified of her- because she showed up to the gas station angry that Jess had done this (if I remember correctly this was not the first time that had happened).

Jessica is goofy and talented. She loves to sing- especially Mariah Carey...and will even pull over to the side of the road, just so she can concentrate on perfecting every note :). We have our own secret language that not even we understand. We have cowritten many ballads together that are worthy of raido air-play. We both used to love Evanescence. I can still picture Jessica pumping her fist in the air to Amy Lee's vocals at her concert. Haha that still makes me laugh out loud.

Jessica has a strong spirit and isn't afraid to do scary things if she knows they are right. She moved to California (alone) after high school because she felt the prompting to do so. Good thing she followed the Lord's directions, because she got an Ian and two babies out of it!

Jessica is so talented at doing hair. She was a GORGEOUS bride. Every time I think of my own wedding day, I just think, "If only I'd done my hair like Jessica's..."

Did I mention Jessica is goofy???


You are loved, Jessica McDowell!

That was so sweet. I love the overall picture. Overalls were the best, man! I wouldn't dare wear them today, but they were so comfy.

Congrats Jess :)

I love all the comments about jessica, like the "language that you guys don't even understand" that is so true! And the singing and everything fits her to a T! Love it! Love Jessica! and love yoU!
