What an amazing Christmas holiday my family and friends gave to me! I couldn't even put into words my feelings for the people I have in my life. (No adjective could describe them!) It was so awesome to just see everyone as they were; silly, weird, goofy, happy, a little buzzed at times, and just all together. Times with my famoO and friends are amazing, and I feel so lucky to have them all!

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

Hello Everyone!

I have like a million, bagillion things I would love to write in here about but it IS 2:06 in the morning and I need to get myself to sleep! (Class at 12!) I haven't really written on here because it's the tough part of the semester where everything is due, this needs to be redone, this needs to be finished .. BLA BLA BLA! I cannot even believe I'm almost done my first semester "back". Insane .. but like I said it's far too late for the deepness!! I'll definetly be on here ASAP leaving a mark in what I've been up to, as well as those around me... Hope all is well with everyone and please know I cherish and appreciate your love and support every, single day. I hope everyone is enjoying the hell out of these cold days and holiday season! I know I am!

Living Strong ..

Jessie

Waterbugs & Dragonflies

There once lived a colony of waterbugs in the bottom of a pond. They scurried happliy about in the muck working & playing. But every once in a while, one of the waterbugs would climb the stem of a lily...going up, up, up until they could not be seen anymore. The waterbug would never come back again. This made the other waterbugs very sad, they could not understand why one of their own would leave and not want to come back. They all made a promise, that the next waterbug to climb the lily stem would come back and tell the others where he had gone. The very next day a waterbug climbed the stem...up, up, up he went. Then he broke the surface of the water and landed on a lilypad. He looked down at himself and could not believe what he saw! He had been transformed, he had four beautiful silver wings and a long, sleek body...he had become a DRAGONFLY!! He flapped his wings and flew through the air. He could not believe what he was seeing, the sun was shinging, the birds were singing, the wind was blowing through the trees. It was amazing, there were many other Dragonflies flying about and he could not believe that he could have ever been happy in the muck in the bottom of the pond. But yet he missed all of the other waterbugs and he remembered his promise to tell them where he had gone. As he dove into the water he realized that he could not return to the bottom of the pond. At first this made him sad, that he could not keep his promise. But then he realized...They will all become Dragonflies one day, and when they do they will understand where he had gone and why he could not return and just how wonderful it is to be a Dragonfly.

                                                        the List like always!

Just wanted to tell - all is good here.  (Thanks for wondering!)

I actually headed up to Club COOP today! Got to see so many of my FAVORITE people in the entire universe! (I love you guys!) Oddly enough, it was awesome being there, and I really did miss it! I got to meet Alma, a 22 yr old who's up at Coop now for treatment. She's too sweet and her positivity is amazing. 4723984729834782437 Kudos to my Cooper family as well as Alma!

I've been super busy (Which I love every single second of!) with school, friends and what not. Life feels good at this point and am thankful everyday for every last bit of it!!

Well I have class at 8 so my details cannot be too intricate tonight! I hope everyone is doing well and please know I am so thankful for your support and love. Infinite THANK YOU's!

love you!

Jessica

As always ... famoO, friends & the List! (And to my new fellow chemosabee Alma Martinez a new fighter at Cooper, whom I met today. What a girl!) And for ther Anzelone's that their vacation is a great one! And everyone else who needs something good.  Thanks!

hey all! soooo sorry for the delayed updates - I hope you'll forgive me! I've had alot on my plate for these last few weeks soooooo just bare with me!!

welllllllllllllllllllll ... for one school has been insanely chaotic!!!  I've never had so much homework in my life , but I'm a nerd and I love homework. I really do LOVE being back to school. it's awesome. I'm at a point now that I feel like I never went away. (But every once in a while of course it kicks in, NATURALLY!)

Well hmm besides school I've been involved in the Light the Night for 2oO5 Camden - and I'll be there at the greeting table walking in as a volunteer greeter. (HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!!) Can I tell you - this event is awesome!!! It really makes you feel so thankful for everything, seeing all of those people touched by cancer in some way is insane, in more ways than one.

I've been getting stuff together for my birthday party which has been sooo much fun thinking about.  I can't wait until the party, and I really can't wait for my 21st !!  So that is something I'm really really really looking forward to .

Sooo let me be hush hush and go to sleep. I have class at 8 and it's 12:30!

Well I might not be able to write in and blabber on this weekend but next week I definetly will. AND! I hope to have pictures from the Light the Night Walk!! ( SO EXCITED!)

I hope your all continuing to "decorate those doors" and dreaming away. It is what we're suppossed to do.

Kissesss,

Jessica

Remember the List!

like always

Remembering our fighters, angels and heroes.

If there is one thing I've learned in my short twenty years, it's that every single day matters. Take what you want to accomplish, what you want to tell someone, what you want to learn - and Go For It. I am so angry by the number of amazing people who are taken from us everyday. Angry, sad, shocked, bitter. Today is one of "those" days for me. The days that everything seems to smack you around and make you feel powerless against the world. But we are anything but powerless! We have the ability to do what we want to do. Therefore, let's do it. Life is far too short to take any second for granted. Stay up late, be goofy, smile at something stupid. It's worth it!!

And like always, remember to pray for THE LIST! xO
Especially the family and friends of Greg Stires who recently passed away after his battle with blood cancer. And anyone who needs a prayer for that matter!

In loving memory of

Greg Stires

ALL the victims as well as their families as friends, lost on September 11, 2001. Today will never be the same for our them, as well as out country.

Katrina Victims ... Teaching us that what we have is taken way too much for granted. Make a donation and help them out ...

My Aunt Joanne's aunt was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. This came even harder to them when the week before HER brother Michael was diagnosed with Leukemia. Annette and Michael need to stay strong and positive, and praying for them and wishing them well (as well as their families!) will do just that!

Please remember to pray for the family and friend of Rick Pearson - he passed away on Friday after his battle with Leukemia. Rest In Peace Rick!!
