How Do You Do?

I figure I'll let my first blog post be a little about myself and my family. My name is Jessica, and I am 29 years old. I'll start with the most important things in my life I guess! I am a Christian, and have been for most of my life. I love my God, and know that nothing in this life would be bearable, or possible, without Him. I am not perfect, I stumble, just like everyone else, but I try my best to be the woman He has called me to be. I have been married for almost 8 years, and love my husband so much. He is the love of my life, my hero, my prince, my best friend, and the man God placed in the position to be my husband, no matter how trying that may be at times. Our marriage isn't perfect, but over the years, we have learned that if we strive to grow closer to God, we will in turn grow closer to each other. I have 3 crazy boys! Austin, born Feb 2006, is the most tender hearted child. He is smart, beautiful, and my oldest. He loves to sing,  dance, read, play lacrosse, watch hockey, and hang out with his daddy. Jacob is the 1st of my twins. They were born in March 2007. Jacob is hysterical! He keeps loves to laugh and to make others laugh. He loves his super-heros, to tell stories, and to sing silly songs. He is also stands up for others and knows what is right. Hunter is the 2nd twin. He is the "quiet" child. He loves to give hugs, and loves everyone! He likes to pretend play, play with trucks, trains, boads, airplanes, and anything that can be used as transportation! We love our family time. We watch hockey (Go Sabres!), watch movies, go camping, fishing, hunting, and love museums and zoos! That's a bit about those I hold dearest to my heart. I also have the greatest extended family. My brother and sister-in-law are newlyweds, and I love to see how in love they are! My cousins are all near and dear to me, and will never have people I am as close to as them.

As for my own personal likes and hobbies, there are many! I recently went to school to become a wedding planner. I am super excited to see how God uses me in that field! I love to sing and to listen to music. I love old movies (Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Doris Day, Rock Hudson), musicals (new or old), and pretty much any kind of movie. I like to photograph nature. I like to do crafts, scrapbook, sew, paint, etc. I don't know that I am any good at most of those, but I enjoy it, so that's what matters.

Last but not least, I am an army wife. I have stood behind my husband in his decision through 3 deployments, multiple trainings, and 3 duty stations. I have some of the most amazing friends because of my husband being in the army. As stressful as this life is at times, I wouldn't trade our time in this lifestyle for anything in the world.

So that's me in a nutshell. I'm new to blogging, so hang with me. I will use this blog to tell about the funny things my kids do, the day to day struggles of being any of the above, and the everyday blessings God shows me. Thanks for reading, and enjoy!
