the perfect name 10-29-08 01:06pm CST
So, I was thinking the other day...I have the perfect name.

7 7 7

Jessica Picogna Gardner

thought that was pretty cool!!

In other news, Nic has LESS THAN TWO MONTHS until he is DONE with school!! Can I get a YIPEE - I - YO - KIE - YAY?! We're pretty pumped about that.

Pretty excited for the holidays coming up, too. Maybe I'll have more time to blog once those pass me by. I must say, it is SO easy to get busy and forget to blog...I will try to be better! Just more difficult without the internet at home, but I have ways:)

Hope all are doing well...and you can get up off the floor now. I know I know, shocking that I posted, isn't it;)

Love you all!

Gone 04-02-08 10:19pm CST
Isn't it just so shocking to think that someone so young with so much life ahead of her could be GONE. Just like that. She is the first close friend I have ever lost...and it hurts.

I know I'm not the only person who had the great pleasure of knowing Teena Powell Harris, but all I know is she was a good friend...and I can't wait to see her again someday.

Here's to all you people from FC that I don't talk to every day... the ones I don't get to bump into here in BG... thank you for your friendship then "back in the good ol' days". You are SO loved. At a time like this, I just wish we could all be reunited again. If I had the time I would call each of you up and let you know how much better of a person I am for having known you in my life.

So, here's to Teena...a great friend I had in our short time together on earth. Here's to all of you...may we all take this to heart and learn to live EACH DAY better than the next. Live each day for HIM and not ourselves.

We never know how little time we may have left.

Love you all so much!
------------------------------------------
I was blessed to be able to travel to Houston to be with friends who were gracious enough to put me up (or.. put up with me;)...and it was such a blessing to go to Teena's funeral with my dear friend, Katie. Despite the tragic circumstances, it was so nice to be reunited with such good friends.

Thank you so much for letting me stay with you... it was so nice to catch up! And thanks to you for helping me get there on such quick notice:)

It was such a blessing to go...Dee Bowman & Bubba Garner definitely paid a beautiful tribute to our friend, Teena Powell. I just can't wait to see her again someday!

Love you guys...

nick_katieYou're welcome; I'm glad you got to come. I also had the same thought- that we just picked right back up where ever it was that we left off last. I guess that's what happens with the dearest of friends. What a blessing we have of friendships in the Lord. 
harbermamaDid I SAY I missed them? :-) J/K 
3dubthanks. it was really good to see you too! i miss you. hopefully next time i see you it will be in better circumstances. call me sometime! :) 
lilpicoGuess what concert we are going to for my b-day!! Oh wait.....you probably already know.....MAN!! 
queenie03i love you :) 
jacobreavesParty at the Reaves house in Georgia... Check it out. http://pleonast.com/jacobreaves 
britt22Thanks girl...I am so excited that you get to be around for all of it!!! :-)

ticketsthought of you tonight...it's storming here :) 
sarahmonkeyI so wish I could've seen you when you were here. I had a work obligation and couldn't make it to the funeral, but I would have driven anywhere to hug your neck! 
divineharmonyJess I had no clue? I am jsut now reading this post over a month later! I am so out of touch noone even bothered to tell me!! What happened? PLease call me if you get the chance! 281-543-4636 
gemmaHey Jessica! This is Julie Holt. =) How are you? 
abigailJessica, thanks for the post! Ya know I'm really not a snob :-)...every time I see you at services I think I'm gonna go chat w/ Jessica. Some distraction, of course, occurs. I will do it next time I see ya! I look forward to getting to know you better..heard great things about ya. 
motheroffwumpsI got your "thank-you!" Yes, I will accept it, but would never have known if you had not sent it! Too much pressure on a newlywed to do all that stuff. I remember! :) 
pleovillinHi. I'm new. just wanted to say hi.

Happy Birthday Babe! 12-14-07 10:12am CST
Happy Birthday to my wonderful HUSBAND!

Today Nic turns 23. He’s still younger than I am! Ha, go figure.

Anyhoo… if you get a chance, leave him a message on his blog.

I’m taking him away for the weekend… a much needed break for the both of us! Times like these are so needed when you’re married! I’ve come to find that out.

In other news, Zeus (our new dog!) arrived safely in SC yesterday. We get to pick him up next Saturday – we’re so excited to have our “first child”. J

Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday – 11 days til Christmas! Woohoo!

Love y’all.
