My imaginary blog, taking flight.

Well, this is my first official blog (since the days of Xanga, of course). But I've been writing an imaginary blog in my head for a while. Ya know, taking pictures of meals I'm proud of, projects I've completed, and other things I could imagine bringing me Pinterest fame. I assume I'm not the only person in the world who does this, but if that is the case, you can judge all you want.

Since this is the first post, I guess I should tell you a little about myself.

The name is Jessica.

What you should know for the purposes of this blog: I like to make things. I like surprises. And I love giving to others. If I can combine the previous three things into one activity, it's golden. If too much time passes without partaking in some sort of creative activity, I can feel it. Like, physical discomfort. I get antsy for a new project and once there's an idea in my head, I HAVE to finish it, if at all possible. 

A little over a week ago, I moved into my first apartment that is totally and completely mine. It's been quite liberating to decorate the place all on my own. I hope to post pictures soon, but I am currently relying on public internet, until Wednesday (Thanks McDonalds and Panera), so that post will have to wait.

  This is me, on the right, and my boyfriend Logan. I introduce him because 1) he's pretty cool and 2) he will probably make appearances in my posts because he selflessly and patiently helps me with with my projects (as much as I will let him). He puts up with me and my perfectionist tendencies and my distrust for him to do anything right when he's helping. I'm working on it.

Another necessary introduction: These are my parents. I can attribute nearly every personal success to the  traits I picked up from being birthed of these two. To describe my mom as crafty, would be an understatement. And I've learned over the years that my dad is to blame for my over achieving, perfectionist tendencies. When you start a project with this man, it doesn't usually turn out as planned. It is better. Because, why not create many hours of more work for yourself, and end up with a result that is way better than you originally planned. More on this when I post about my coffee table. Anyway, they're great people, and I am so thankful for their influence in my life.

I think that's all for now. Again, using the public internet, and my large Coke from McD's has just about finished it's journey.  Come back soon for a more exciting post that doesn't end with me needing to use the restroom!
