State Farm = Not Such Great Neighbors

State Farm currently sucks. That's about all I need to say. I think it's funny that one of the more recent posts on here (which of course is from forever ago) is about poor Betty dying in the intersection. Isn't it fitting that we begin to revive the blog with stories of another one of my cars that needs to be resurrected?

Don is at the insurance office in Georgetown right now trying to get things straightened out, and I am currently car-less. I guess it shouldn't be that big of a deal considering that I should be studying hard for the nutrition final that I had to re-schedule for today. Speaking of which...I am only 3 exams away from being a college senior! Crazy? Most definitely! It terrifies me to think that I will actually be in the classroom next year...I feel completely unprepared.

Anyway, I need to clean, study, and make wonderfully delicious brownies :)
Please please please start blogging again! It was so much fun before!
Love y'all (hehe)

Holla! (I crack myself up)

So... Jed and I were giggling on the phone and on the Internet at the same time trying to revive this blog. I know we have Facebook, but maybe this can be a spot for longer updates. See what we need to do here is for each of us to write really long entries every day and then one day we'll publish them all together and it will be like a modern day Little Women. :-)
Maybe we need mom to chime in every once in awhile to be our Marmee. She has figured out text messaging, who knows what's next.

Love you all!

Start blogging!!!

I am officially a college studen! I made it to Rock Hill...everything went very smoothly, and I'm absolutely thrilled to be here! Yay!!

Hello again. I must admit that I've been doing a very poor job of keeping the blog updated. We're now at the end of Sorrento trip and about to move on to Rome tomorrow afternoon. Sorrento had probably been close to my favorite place so far. We are right on the coast of the mediterranean, and it's absolutely gorgeous...nothing like the beach at home that everyone rants and raves about. Today was extremely busy and filled with all types of traveling. We started off this morning taking a bus to the Meta station and then got on a train to pompei--definitely a huge tourist attraction but wonderful to be in the midst of so many Americans. We walked miles and miles across the ancient ruins in the extreme heat with very little shade and not very much water (at least not cold water--ice isn't very common here). but it was actually very amazing, obviously filled with tons of history. it actually made me feel like i should have been studying before i went so i would know what all i was seeing. that seems to be one of the themes of this trip: not having a clue what we're looking at but knowing that it's something really important. After we finished at pompei, we got back on the train and rode down to sorrento. from there we hopped on a hydro-foil (big, fast boat) and rode along the coast to positano. The ride alone was worth the trip, even though positano was thoroughly incredible as well. as soon as we get home, i'll have to post some of the amazing pictures we took. Anyway, we're now back in surrento, planning to spend an actual night out since we don't have such a rigid schedule tomorrow (perhaps an english pub? we did't actually make it to one while we were in london). So, wish us luck finding out way around rome tomorrow, and please continue to keep us in your prayers!
bunches of love,

hello from italy!

hello everyone! sorry it's taken me this long to post something about our trip. we've had a terrible time trying to find internet cafes since we were in london. anyway, everything has been going very smoothly so far...london was absolutely incredible, and italy has been amazing. i wish i had time to go into detail about some of the insane/hilarious adventures heather and i have had since arriving in italy, but i do believe that my time on this computer is about to expire. i mainly wanted everyone to know that we are safe and surviving the challenges of the trip with some wonderful triumphs. heather has been absolutely brilliant with this whole italian business, and we've gotten really good at figuring out how to buy train tickets. anyway...i miss you all. we're thinking about you lots. keep praying for us...especially that we get on our flights back to atlanta....talk to everyone soon!
much love,
jessica

87 days to June 02, 2006! Yes,I am counting down, and yes, I am well on my way to being severely infected with senioritis. I'm trying to break up this semester into 3 sections. March is the month of many scholarships (i find out about teaching fellows on the 10th), so if I can measure this month by how many deadlines I have left to meet, then it should go by fairly quickly. Prom is the first or second weekend in April, and right after prom is Spring Break...the last couple of weeks should begin all of our senior meetings, academic awards banquets and honor society initiations. Once we hit May, time will fly...thank goodness! Senior awards, baccaleureate and graduation are all within a week of each other. But for now, i'm still sitting in good old Georgetown counting the days until i'm galavanting across Europe!
