So now for the "interesting news" that I promised y'all!! :-)

Melinda had an 18th birthday party!!!! :-D
I must say, we all had a grand time...dancing, of course. What else would one do at a party? :-) Really, it was a delightfully blessed time of fellowship, laughter, food, dancing and praising the Lord for the life of my dear friend, Melinda Sanford!
I've known Melinda for about...wow...two years now, I believe (it sure feels like longer!), and what a two years it has been.! :-D Filled with so many wonderful memories...memories I know that I will treasure forever. Melinda is so sweet, and full of the love of Jesus! With her servants' heart and ready smile, I couldn't (and wouldn't) give up her friendship for the world. She's truly a friend worth having!!
Happy 18th Birthday, Melinda!!

And now, for photos of the "Western Birthday Ball" event! :-) I hope y'all don't mind if I put them in sideshow format as there are 400 or so photos. :-) But if you'd rather look at them in the album, right below it is the link to the album itself. Enjoy!

Have a blessed day and may the Lord bless each and every one of you!

In Christ Alone,

Jessica Nicole

As far as parties go, I've seen better. I didn't even get hurt!!! What's the point? No Pain, No Gain!! You owe me one for babysitting your brother for a week...No, nine days. Ay yi yi yi yi. Babysitting is a misnomer, as I will actually be at ICC as much as possible, not to mention work. Correct spelling is anonymous. Check Webster's .

Melinda, You're soooo welcome! Thanks a million for inviting us to spend your special day with you! *dances*

Elissa, I wish you could've been there as well!! You know, you COULD always come up and visit us for Reformation Day. :-D Love and miss you tons!!! *hug*

Jesi, I'm SO sorry about that! I went and changed it. I don't know how I made a mess up like that! :-)

J.D, Oh, come on, you know that you had the time of your life! :-D
Trust me, letting my brother come stay with you is payement enough...maybe some of his sweetness will rub off on you. *BIG GRIN* :-D So really, you owe me for allowing my brother to grace you with his presence! :-D
And maybe there are different ways to spell it? Hmm...I'll have to look into it. :-D

In Christ Alone,

Jessica

I just looked at the photo album, and have deduced that you have WAYYY too much time on your hands!

Also, I have actually figured out that your brother is more pleasant to be around than you are!! You were right! He is also telling me all the family secrets, so watch out.. I would not say anything about You-Know-Who for about 17 weeks, or until I stop clearing my throat every time you start to say something...

I'll be back...

J.D., without time on my hands I'd be excessively bored! :-D
Well, I do have a wonderfully agreeable little brother, I must say. :-) And as for the secrets...well, I'll just get Emily to tell me some of y'alls...then we'll be even. *BIG GRIN*
