Looky, Looky, 2 blogs in 1 month!!

So, I know that I neglect this blog at times but I can be quite busy!

This last weekend I assisted photographers, William & Patricia Long, with a very beautiful and elegant wedding, I'm currently taking Engagement, Graduation, and various portrait assignments for my own business, AND I've continued to work for Jennifer Williams at the Motherhood Center as her assistant. The more I get to know Jenny, the happier I am that I chose to work with her. We talk about everything from how crazy our families can be to the incredible soreness felt after our boot camp work out!

Did I mention that to you?

No? Well, I have recently enrolled in our center's Fitness Boot Camp instructed by Brandie!

Jenny & I tested out the trial run this last Wednesday and let me tell you, if I keep that work-out routine up for 3 times a week I will be looking MIIIIIIIGHTY FIIIIIIIINE by SUMMMMMER TIIIIME!! That rhymes. :)

Okay, it's time I tell you about my fabulous friend, Vanessa. (a.k.a. V)

Vanessa and her friend, Stephanie, have partnered up to create a fabulously FRESH looking specialty shop called Lola's Fresh Produce.

Currently operating out at Larry's Trade Days in Winnie, Tx (seen in picture above) every first weekend of each month!

For those of you who don't know, Larry's Trade Days is a flea market where people come from all over the state of Texas, let alone country to buy and sell antiques, food, goodies of ALL sorts.

Lola's Fresh Produce provides everything from cute clutches, wallets, unique looking necklaces and earrings, to one of a kind hats, belts & t-shirts and much much more!

As a devoted customer, I request that you PLEASE check them out at their Myspace Page and feel free to email them with any purchases or requests you have for them at Lolasfreshproduce@hotmail.com. Tell them Jessi sent you! (said in one of those game show voices..)

What am I:

Watching? George Carlin videos on YouTube (Don't watch if you don't care for cussing.)

Reading? Confessions of a Pagan Nun by Kate Horsley

Listening to? Otis Redding (baby-making music, for sure)

Hoping for? Ellen DeGeneres to send me a TIVO (I emailed her asking for one to be able to record and watch her show. lol)

January Birthday SHOUT-OUTS:

Holly Fimple, Danyel Licatino, Andrea Dematte, Ashley Overstreet, Brian Hebert, Stephanie Beard, L.T., Benish, Ashley Greer, Amanda Gauthier, Pinkee Patel, Yajaira Garcia, & Lanea Meyer!

And here's another picture from Janette & Brennan's Engagement shoot that I took over the holidays:

Oh, 2009, don't fail me!!

Good Afternoon All,

I have been meaning to post a new blog for weeks now.

And I honestly have no excuse other than the fact that I didn't want to.

My holiday has consisted of visiting people, eating, knitting, drinking, editing pictures and catching up on sleep that I've missed the last couple of months.

Let me fill you in on my exciting December:

On December 11th we, the shocked residents of South East Texas, received SNOW!

In the past, when there was speculation of snow, it was never anything worth waking up for. It would only really just be rain with a little bit of ice that would melt as soon as it made land fall.

But not this year!

I was sitting in the room upstairs late at night, editing pictures, and watching crappy television when I slightly heard something taping at my window.

Sure enough at close glance I saw snow!

(Bear didn't know what was going on!!)

Our house the following morning.

Our backyard the next morning.

I LOVED it.

I found myself acting the same exact way as I did last year, when I was in Massachusetts. Snow lifted me up and made me a better person, as sad as that sounds.

(This was me last year during the first snow! I'm crazy, but happy...)

Other than our glorious snow day, Chrystal's pregnant belly is getting bigger and bigger and within the next couple of months we're going to take maternity pictures.

(Stay tuned for that).

Even though I haven't been working these last couple of weeks at The Motherhood Center, due to the center being closed for the holidays, I have been staying busy with photography.

This last week, I had the pleasure of taking Janette & Brennan's Engagement Pictures.

Even though we had to fight the drizzly weather, we had some fun conversations and I'm happy with the results!

Here's one of my favorites of them.
