Jason and I are going to have a photoshoot together sometime in the near future by his brother Brian who is also a very talented photographer. So then I can send out dorky christmas cards n' stuff with our picture on it.... hehehehe and you all know I will do it to!
So its another not so interesting day on the ranch.... got up late and am now sittin here doing nothing... what I do everyday. I wish I could get a job but getting a job in the middle of nowhere has proven to be very difficult. Hopefully Jason and I will be able to move to Austin soon.... then I would be able to get something a lot easier and closer to home. If I got a job here I would have to drive 25 minutes to work everyday and, yes, I do know that most people living in big cities have to drive even farther than that but I am not used to it and don't wanna do it! Grrr......So Alicia (T-dog) called me the other night and informed me that she will be in austin for her 21st birthday. That should be fun though I am not sure what to expect really, both Sheppard girls out on the town? Sounds like disaster to me, but who knows it could be fun as long as we bring along mediators. But it will be nice to see her... I wish she and I got along better cause she really is one of my favorite people in the whole world.
I guess I am really not doing anything today except wasting time... it's raining outside so the roads will be mudd. So here I will stay.... yawn*** maybe finish off another book. Right now I am reading "Lipstick Jungle" which is written by Candace Bushnell who was the author of Sex in the City which is one of my all time favorite TV shows. So far the book is interesting but not as good as her last one I read.... I recommend reading Trading Up first if you enjoy girly books.... It is full of scandal and start struck characters... I loved it, but that's me. I wouldn't recomment Alicia reading it but one day I could see Veronica definitely enjoying it. Jason and I recently watched the movie 300... and I must admit that it was way better than I tought it was going to be... Yes, there is a lot of blood and gore but the overall tale is amazing and very true according to jason. He read up on the history of the spartans and whoever the other guys were while I was finishing up my Harry Potter book... I really think my dad, Eric would love 300 and should see it. I can picture him on the couch yelling war strategies right now. hehehe
And yes I finished the Harry Potter books... I can't believe they are over... at least I have 2 movies to go though... I haven't even seen the 5th one yet. I am forcing Jason to watch them all from the first one so he can go and see the rest of them in the theatre with me.

ONE MORE rental to go and he will be all caught up. I can't wait to see the latest one out in the theatres but I wanted to have Jason all prepared first... he couldn't just go walking in there to see the 5th movie without having seen any of the others now could he? Nope.
Well I guess thats all for now... Eric is the only one who has been writing me about my blogs... I do hope more of you catch on! It could be really fun!


Love you all to the moon and back,

This blog thing is actually getting an upper hand on me.... it's difficult which I imagine it wouldn't be if I would read the direction's but then it wouldn't be as much fun.
It about 2:30 in the afternoon and my dad, eric wrote me telling me that he is happy I set this thing up. So now I just hope that I can keep it up and have something intesresting to say every once in a while.
Apparently there is some of my family meeting up in Freddie-burg this coming weekend and I really hope to make it. I would love to see everyone though Aunt Sara's clan probably won't come. But Jason and I hope to make it to Lago soon and visit them. Jason and I are in Austin often and I miss them. I hope to kidnap tonya for a few days... maybe she can come chill on the ranch with me for a while... I miss her.
SO! I am learning about photography! I hope to be good at it one day and am actually reading a college text book on my own free will by Ansel Adams called The Negative. I took my first pictures of clouds the other day and when jason loads them onto his computer I will post some of my first photography work for you all to see. I had to concentrate on dark and light things... cause aparetnly there are like two thousand shades of gray or something and you have to capture almost white and almost pure black and all the shades inbetween to get a good image. But I did take an amazing out of focus picture of a sun flower hehe.
So I guess the plan for today is mowing... I am gonna help mow... I have never even started a mower once in my life so it could be interesting.... I wanna ride the riding mower... I always loved having races on papas riding mowers that went 2 miles an hour when I was little.So I have only a hand full of friend's up here in Austin, Jason being one and Duke Morse who is another really talented photographer. Everytime Jason and I go up to Austin we end up going to 5th and 6th street and following Duke around. He knows everyone in this town is ridiculous! I also ran into Derek Swanson last weekend on 6th street.It was really funy cause Derek and I haven't lived in the same town in forever and it was odd just running into him. I hope to do a shoot with him at some point. He wants to get into modeling and he informed me that he is actually gonna be in a runway show pretty soon and I think thats awesome. Myself being to short to do runway I hope to one day bust the "must be 5'8" criteria for the cat walk and do it myself.
So I guess that's all for now....I did a shoot with Jasons neice the other night.... she is so cute. She is 9 year's old and say's "I know" to everything! We did a fairy-tale shoot and a doll shoot with her. This is the only edited image so far but there is more to come. I will write more later today after I mow and what not.
Love you all to the moon and back,

So many times I have thought that I was in love.....last night I was sitting up on my computer while Jason was sleeping and I realized how content I really am....I mean I am looking for a job and trying to find my way in a totally new place....a place away from my family and friends...a place away from my comfort zone. I finally moved away to make my dreams come true.
Jason was sleeping and it made me smile....he is here for me...he always supports me and loves me no matter what. He makes my heart smile. We are living on a ranch in Kingsbury Texas....anyone who knows me knows that I am not a "nature" girl but I am makin it and actually worked on the ranch the other day. We were moving tree branches, vines, and crap into a big tractor dump bucket thing so Jason could "brush hawk" a field and then mow it... a spider decided to climb down my arm and tried to get in my glove... now normal spiders freak me out enough but this was a BANANA SPIDER and they are so big and scary! Jason said a thre my gloves off like a hokey player about to fight... and then I proceded to bounce around he field for a while... but I didn't scream. We also found one snake and several toads. But I made it and it really wasn't that bad at all!
This is my first blog, but I heard about it on the radio and thought it would be a great way to keep in touch with my family and friends and let them know how everything was going. So here it is....my life...online.
Jason is sitting to my right playing the guitar, we are gonna get a song list together and play at some local places soon, which should be really fun. He is very talented and reminds me a lot of my little brother Zack. He has done so much in his life and it amazes me.

Pluss he loves Febe which is always a pluss. Speaking of which, Febe is doing really great and has almost learned two new tricks! She can speak, sit, dance, beg, and now she can lay down and almost shake....she is still a little freaked out about shaking but at least now I think she knows we aren't trying to kill her. Febe saw her first lightning bug... she was going potty and it lite up right infront of her face and she screamed like someone kicked her... then she proceeded to look for it and scream every time it blinked. She also loves hunting crickets and frogs out on the ranch though she really doesn't know what to do with them once she gets them. There are a ton of cats here too and she doesn't know what to think of them yet..... especially when they want to play with her...

Tay and Sariah came up to Austin and Duke, Jason and I met them at a karaoke club and hung out. It's always nice to see them... they are some of my best friends in the while world. The Karaoke club wasn't too great since we are used to woofers but it was fun and we had a good time. I hope they visit again soon.
Well I guess Jason and I are gonna watch a movie so I guess it's off to movie land. I hope I can get my family and friends reading this so we can keep up to date with everything going on in my world. Maybe even a few of them will pick it up too. I hope my mom does cause she always has the best stories and I miss my family sooooooo bad.
This was from my last shoot with Jason... once again he is sooooo talented. I think he and I can do anything in the whole wide world together. I love you all and hope you are all well.
Love you to the moon and back,
Jessie
