Footloose and Fishing

This last Thursday night me, my mom, Lindsey, my grandma, and my aunt Trisha made a trip down to St. George to go to Tuacahn to see Footloose. I haven't even seen the movie so I didn't know what to expect. But it was so good!! I highly recommend it. Before the play we went to dinner at Teaxs Roadhouse..YUM! We had such a good time with just the girls..and special thanks to Grandma for being a good sport..haha. We sure got a kick outof her that night!

Then on Friday I went on my first fishing trip! Me, my parents, my grandpa and my dad's friend Gary went to Otter Creek. It ended up being pretty fun. First of all we left at 5:30 so I was not a happy camper but it's ok I got to nap on the way. We finally made it there and started "trolling", I like to sound fancy and make you think I know what I'm talking about. ha. That part was way boring. I thought if this is what it's going to be like all day just shoot me now. But luckily it wasn't. The handy dandy fish finder led us to what was supposed to be a good spot and we parked it. Gary and my grandpa caught one. Then all the sudden I felt a bite. Pretty sure everyone on the lake could hear me..I made quite the scene. I was freaking out cause I didn't know what to do. ha. After that I caught 3 more. Anyway, it turned out to be a pretty good trip!

Reeling it in!

Our spots. I don't think we moved from them. haha. Good spot to catch a few zzz's too.

My first fish!! I was too scared to hold it. ha.

Happy Birhtday To Me!!!

So good thing it has been 47 years since I have blogged last. I'm sure you all are losing sleep at night because you don't know what is going on in the life of Jessika. Well here I am folks to fill you in so you can all sleep better at night. :) For those of you that didn't know, which I'm sure pretty much everyone did I kind of make a big deal about my birthday, last weekend I turned the big 20. That's right no longer a "teen". I like to make my mom feel old and keep reminding her that her baby is no longer a teenager. haha. Anywho, I went home for the weekend and of course started out the weekend at Austins (the BEST filet ever!) It's a tradition to go there for special occasions. Then Saturday me and my mom did a little shopping of course and that night me and Chauntelle went out. We went and got pedicures, went to a wedding reception, and went to the coolest resturaunt ever! It was called Cappos, this Italian Steahouse place. So if you're ever in Vegas..look it up! That was a fun night..thanks Chauntelle!! On Sunday I invited my best friend Hannah over and the Jones family. My dad made me one of my fav's, dutch oven chicken! So overall it was a pretty good weekend.

My dad's latest "toy". I took it for a spin in the neighborhood, and had no idea what I was doing. ha. And dont mind the bed head, I just rolled out of bed. ha.

The BIG Cut!!!!!!!

Two blogs in one day? Oh man I think I might be over doing myself. But this is so blog worthy. Yesterday I get a text from my Uncle Shon asking me if I was cutting hair today. I said yes and asked why. He said he was ready for the big cut. Oh man I was so excited! So he came in today and brought a picture of himself from 10 years ago and said make me look like this again! haha. For some reason it is like Christmas when a hair dresser gets to cut off a ton of hair. It is to me at least. I love it! So thank you Shon for making my day and letting me blog about you. haha. And I think your haircut turned out very nice!

Before..This is the best picture I have..sorry.And After!!!! Doesn't even look like the same person!

All the hair..this picture doesn't even do justice of how much there really was!

Road Trip!!

The Crazy Arabian Castle

Me and the llamas

What the random?

We could not figure out what the heck this was

Chauntelle's "poof" In white. ha

At this point we were wondering why we decided

to road trip north?

Yep..still wondering


If any of you know me, we all know that I have a weird

obsesion with coats..this picture doens't even do justice

of the backseat of the car. No they are not all mine..but

most of them were.

This past weekend (Valentine's Weekend) Me and my friend Chauntelle decided to take a road trip to northern Utah. Since it was single awareness weekend, we thought it would be a prefect time to go shopping and do fun girly things. We left Friday morning and stopped in Payson, where we stayed. (thank you aunt Kim for the bed :) Then we decided to start shopping so we headed up to Provo. Keep in mind we both had no idea where we were going so we just winged it the whole trip,which made it way more entertaining, and we found our way eventually. Then Friday night we had hot dates. Chauntelle was being set up with my cousin Corbin and I was being set up with his friend Braden. It was sooo fun! And not to mention Braden is probably the nicest guy I have ever met! Anyway Saturday rolls around and it seems like whenever we get together we always want to do so much but have so little time. So we have to make lists. ha. We were wanting to go to Salt Lake but the weather was bad so we didn't dare drive that far. So we went to this shopping place in Provo where this restaurant was that Chauntelle wanted to go to. When we got there, it was a 3 hour wait. Are you kidding me, 3 hours for food? No way jose. There was a movie theatre in the same shopping place so we decided to go to the movie to kill some time. We went and saw He's Just Not That Into You. Good movie! When we got out of the movie it was a blizzard! And we still had to walk all the way back to the car. We were covered in snow! It was ridiculous! Oh and we stopped at the restaurant after the movie and it was still another hour, so we bailed. We had been talking about getting pedicures so we were determined to find a place. In Vegas there is a nail place on every corner it seems like so we thought for sure we would find one easily. Not so much, we found one but it was too long of a wait so we decided to move on. We took a little detour on the way back to Payson in hopes of finding a nail place and oh boy..we were going through these little towns and next thing we know we see this castle thing. It looks like it came straight out of the movie Aladdin. We could not figure this thing out. We had to turn around and look at it again. It was so weird...and there were llamas in the front of it. What the random? Anyway..long story short we finally found a pedicure place and it was amazing. What's not to love about getting your feet rubbed while you relax? Then we headed home Sunday morning. I would say it was a good way to spend the single awareness weekend! :)

My new found hobby

So call me a Grandma but my new hobby is.....knitting! haha. One day I went into the salon and my boss was wearing a way cute scarf and she said she made so..so I was like well freak I want to make one. She said she learned from a book..but I can't read something and comprehend it very good so I just made her teach me. haha. I had to restart the stupid think like 47572 times! I almost quit but I really wanted a scarf so I didn't. And it makes the days go by faster when I'm at the salon.ha. Not to mention there are a ton of mistakes in it but that's ok..I like to think that makes it original. Anyway..I finally finished it today and I'm so proud of it. I was modeling it all afternoon in the salon. hah.

I hate taking pictures of myself..but I had to model it for everyone to see.

The finished product!

Salon Christmas Party

Last Saturday night, yeah sorry I'm a little behind, I went to Ninja for the salon Christmas party. It was so fun! I'm pretty sure I lucked out because I work with some of the funniest people and we all seem to get along so well. Anyway..dinner was so yummy! You can never go wrong with Filet.mmm!

I think someone forgot to tell me that we were supposed to wear black...

Anyways not much else has been going on..except for the fact that I feel like I live in freaking Antarctica or something! It has been so cold and snowy. Shoveling my driveway is getting real old FAST! For those of you that don't know I got another job at a preschool being a teachers aide. I love it! Little kids are so entertaining...and also very whiny all at the same time. But it's fun, I'm an aide for Stephanie and I think I lucked out on that too..she is so nice and fun to work with. Well so is everyone at the school.

another weekend in salt lake...

So this last weekend I went to Salt Lake AGAIN! I never go there and now I go 2 weekends in a row..way too much time in a car is all I have to say. This time I went cause one of my good friends from hair school got married and she was having a luncheon thing..so me and my mom (thank you very much by the way for going with me) headed up Thursday morning and went straight to the luncheon. Then we wanted to go shopping of course but we didn't want to wander around in our heels and dresses but we didn't want to drive all the way to Brandon and Janna's house to change so what do you think our bright idea was..yes that's right, change in the car. It was probably one of the funniest things ever. Anyway we did some shopping and that night went to Temple Square to see the lights. It was actually kind of disappointing, I mean don't get me wrong it was pretty but not what I remember it looking like. Oh well it was fun. That night we stayed at Brandon and Janna's house (by the way thanks for letting us stay, you make us feel very welcome!) and Friday we did some more shopping. We went to Ikea and holy crap...if you think Tai Pan is huge then you haven't seen nothin! That place is ridiculous, when you walk in the doors and there is a locker for your purse and what not, a day care, a map of the store, and a food court you know you're in trouble. We actually didn't stay there very long, my mom was getting overwhelmed. But I did purchase a rubber spatula for 63 cents. What a deal! Then Friday night we got to go to another Jazz game..yep that's right another one..that's like 3 within a week. It was so fun! Me, my mom, my Aunt Kim, and Aunt Janna went. We had some pretty good food and it was fun to have a girls night out! Then Saturday morning me and my mom headed back to Cedar. OH and on the way home we stopped in Nephi cause it seems like everyone on my family talks about "sticky chicken" and I have never had it before. So we stopped and got some and it is amazing! and of course I had to get a slurpee to go with it!!!
