Happy Halloween

I hope everyone had a wonderful day!!! I stayed inside and watched movies all day :) Missing my baby!!!

Day 17: My favorite memory

My favorite memory would have to be when Phillip proposed to me :) He was coming home to "surprise" his mom for mothers day, and just plain surprise me; but he is a bad bad badddd surpriser. hahaha. His mother and I both knew he was coming home because he kept asking me what I was going to be doing that weekend, and he told his mom that she would be getting a mothers day present around 8 at night on friday. Mail does not come at 8 at night babe!!!! haha. So i waited all day, super excited, and it was about 8:30 when i went to go see my mom in her room and i told her, " i dont think he is coming, i got myself excited for nothing". She told me the night wasn't over yet, so I went to sit back down in the living room. I sat down on the couch only to see a car pulling up in the driveway and the lights being turned off. My heart was just a pounding away. I was like OMG!!!! He rang the doorbell and I about broke the door down and jumped on him! I think I elbowed him in the chin. Oops. We hugged for the longest time, and then i got down and we walked in the house. My dad was lying on the floor and was about to go run to his room to get a gun because I screamed so loud when i opened the door. haha. We sat in the living room and talked for a while, then my mom said I should show him her new car. So we walk out to the garage and he shoved me outside instead of going to look at the car. I could not stop smiling and touching his arms just to make sure this was real. I had missed him so much!! This is how our conversation went:

Phillip: I got you a present.
Me: Yeah, you came home!
P: no, i got you some dog tags
M: oh, okay, do they have your name on them?
P: no, they have your name on them
M: (in my head im like, why do i need dog tags with my name on them?) hahaha
P: here, read them
M: "Jessica Michele Simoneaux..."
*mom opens garage door to come ask what he thinks of the car and looks shocked and about to cry*
M: (what is she crying about, she cant even see what i have in my hands, i turn back around to face Phillip while reading the rest) ... Will you marry me May 7th, 2010. (Phillip is on his knee)

I am in so much shock that I cant even get a tear out!! I had absolutely no clue this was happening!!! I had just gotten out of the shower like an hour ago, and was in shorts and one of his t-shirts! Honestly, the sweetest moment ever. I love my Marine, he is my everything. Later that night, we went to his house to show his family. I asked him if he was nervous at all, and he said when he bought the ring he was cool, but when he got the dog tags made he got a little nervous, like man this is it. And then on the 8 hour drive home he said his heart was just a racing the whole time. I love you Phillip ♥ Best day and memory I will ever have, until the day of my wedding and see Phillip cry of course :)

Day 18: My favorite Birthday

That would have to be this past birthday, my 20th. I spent it in Orlando and went to the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter :) Yes, I am the biggest dork ever, and I LOVE it :) The only downfall was that Phillip forgot about my birthday, he claims that he lost track of the days because he had been out in the field, it hurt, but its long gone now.

Day 19: Something I regret

This is only known by Phillip and myself. It was in the past, and it is all over with. I love Phillip for him and he loves me for me. Thats all that matters :)

Day 16: My first kiss

Well, honestly, I dont really remember if i had a "first kiss" before Phillip. I know, lame. There i was 17 and never had a kiss. There ya go. I admitted it. But I do remember my first kiss with Phillip. haha. I think we went about two weeks before we had our first date, and all we did was hug each other. lol. It was on our first date that we shared our first kiss together. I went to his house and of course my dad stayed with me until his parents got home, lol. We were going to watch Lord of the Rings, but then he started quoting EVERY word, and I said no way are we watching this. hahaha. We ended up watching Kingdom of Heaven. It was a really good movie, from what i remember ;) haha I love you baby ♥ And I miss you like crazy!!!!

Long time no see...

and I am superrrrrrr sorry. Chemistry has been keeping me so busy that I feel like i have no social life, oh wait, i really don't haha. Phillip is doing really well. I miss him like crazy. TWO MONTHS DOWN LADIES ♥ !!!!! I am so beyond happy! The only bad thing right now is just school. I am so ready to graduate, but it might take me another semester or year. As long as I graduate before I am 25 I think I will be fine. lol. I am pretty sure 22 or 23 is when it will happen. Hopefully!! *Fingers crossed* So here are my 3029493857943875 days i have missed!

Day 3: What makes me different?

Hmm... I would think that the quality that makes me different would have to be my sense of positivity. I always try and see the positive in any situation. I know that something bad could go wrong, such as with Phillip being deployed, or something delaying me graduating from college, but I take one day at a time, and I am okay with that.

Day 4: What you ate today

Well, I had a strawberry crunch yogurt for breakfast with some double chocolate cream coffee from the "Two Sons" (aka Paula Deans Store). For lunch i had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (old school, i know, but it was so delicious!!) And for dinner my dad came into town and took me to Ihop :) I love my daddy.

Day 5: My definition of love

I think love is being with another person of the opposite sex that you can be your absolute self around and love someone and be loved by someone for yourself, not who you pretend to be. I know when I am with Phillip I am like butter. lol. Because every time I see him it's really like seeing him for the first time all over again. Every time. I can tell him anything and know he won't judge me for it. We have definitely had our share of hard times, but through those we realized how much love we truly have for one another. I know he loves me when I have no make up on and in sweat pants and one of his jerseys. That's his favorite. I know he loves me when I dress up for a date. I know he loves me when I nag at him for playing video games all the time. I know he loves me when I am crying, and yes, he has told me I look absolutely adorable when I cry, of course thats when I have to leave him to go back home, and then I have had an ugly cry, when I was sitting in my living room with him and found out that my grandma died. He has been there for me. Always. I know he loves me when i complain because he just sits there and lets me rant and rave and then ends up smiling at me for being so cute. I know he loves me when we are out in public he kisses me every chance he gets, on the forehead is my favorite. I know he loves me because he holds my hand or whispers sweet things to me while we are sitting next to each other or out to eat. I know he loves me because he loves the way I look, no weight needed to be gained or lost. I know he loves me because he tells me every chance he gets. I have found the definition of true love <3

Day 6: Your day

My day has been very uneventful. I have had classes all day. I have to study for my chem test on friday. I have cleaned my room and my roommate had to dress up as Pocahontas to go trick or treating for cans. She looks exactly like her. lol.

Day 7: My best friend

That would have to be Erica. She has been my roommate since freshman year. We have had a rough patch, but we are way beyond that. I couldn't imagine having anyone else as a roommate. I have never grown tired of her. I used to not like her first year because I judged her and thought she was really preppy and not compatible with me. lol. But we are literally twins. haha. We just have a lot in common. I love that girl. She is going to be a long time friend.

Day 8: A Moment

My moment that will always be in the back of my mind would have to be when Phillip asked me out. A bunch of people in band told me that he was thinking about asking me out and i was freaked out!!! haha. I was like why in the world is this guy asking ME out??? I was so nervous and paranoid at like every practice. And then one thursday night, I was rushing to get out of the guard room and all the girls left, and in walks Phillip, all smiles, rubbing his hands together as if he was nervous. In my head I was like oh shit!! I didnt get out in time. haha. He came up to me, smelly as all get out from practice, and was like "hey, how are you?" And i was like "im good how are you?" " I am fine, I have a question for you?" "What is it?" "Would you want to be my girlfriend?" "uh yeah" hahahaha thats how i remember it at least. I was sooooo nervous. He was so cute. But why the hell was such a handsome guy asking such an average girl out?? He claims that I am beautiful, and that I am the only girl besides the ones in his family that has stood behind him and encouraged him in everything he has done. Thats why :)

Day 9: My beliefs

I believe in God. I am a Catholic born and raised. I am not a devout Catholic, but I do have a lot of faith. I dont like how everyone perceives Catholics as a bad religion, we believe the same things as you. We get called cannibals and vampires because we drink the blood and eat the body of Christ every Sunday. UM HELLO!!! All other religions do it as well, but only every once a month or so. I stand behind my religion and all our beliefs. I am a big non believer in divorce though. I know that as long as I live my life the way God intended and spread his word that I will enter into the gates of heaven.

Day 10: What I wore today

I wore a pair of shorts, my gray marine tshirt, and a black cover over, dangle earrings, and jeweled sandals. And of course on my finger was my engagement ringggg :)

Day 11: My siblings

I have one brother. He is 17. We have never really gotten along too well, but I do love him. I wish him the best in life, even though its been rough. He is going to do great things in the Coast Guard.

Day 12: Whats in my bag

My bookbag: chem book, notebook, calculator, goggles for lab, pens, pencils, and most importantly: my inhaler. lol
My purse: too much crap. lol. wallet, checkbook, papers, chapstick, ipod, pens, hand sanitizer, spare key

Day 13: This week

This week is going to be crazy. I have a chem test and a spanish test. Lots of studying to do. And I miss my man

Day 14: What I wore today:

I wore jeans, tennishoes, and my senior shirt because I had to wear closed toed shoes for lab.

Day 15: My dreams

Finish College, Get married to Phillip, Get a job, Enjoy married life, Have kids, Be the best mom I can be, be successful with my career and make great money, but most of all, i want to grow old and happy with the love of my life, be loved forever, and support him in everything he does.

Day 2: My First Love

Hmmm... My first love would have to have been in second grade. lol. Nick Rebuelta. He was tan and cute. haha. He dedicated a song to me at the school talent show. He was all dressed up in his cowboy boots, jeans, a button down shirt, and the cowboy hat. It was adorable. My next love didnt come till 8th grade. Dontavious Ellis. That didn't last very long. My first true love would have to be with Phillip. He was my first real boyfriend, my first everything. I love that man to death. We met when i was in 11th and he was in 10th. We were both in band but we never talked to each other until the summer before my senior year started. All the girls on guard would swoon over him and I was always like, what do you see in him? He is just the most popular and handsome guy in the band. I would never date him. Haha, you see where that got me :) The band went on a trip to six flags and we met in the band room. I had just got my hair cut the day before, I got side bangs, and his first words to me were "Did you get your hair cut? It looks really good like that." We talked on the bus, and when we got to six flags we some how got separated from our group so it was just me, him, and his dad, lol, who was a chaperone. We were together ALL day and talked about everything. A couple of weeks later he asked me out :) I still have the first voicemail he ever sent me. It was from the first day of school, he was saying how he didn't know if i was there or not, but he missed me. That was a week before we started dating. I remember seeing that different number pop up on my phone and thinking oh crap, I bet thats him cause I had given my number out to a bunch of my friends and he just happened to be hanging around. Don't answer!!! He asked me out in the guard room. I remember trying to get my stuff and go as quick as possible because I had heard he was going to ask me out. I was such a dork, still am!!! To this day he still gives me the butterflies. I even get them if I get a phone call from him, but maybe that's just because he is thousands of miles away. Gosh, I miss him

Day 1- Introduce Yourself

Hello! Im Jessica. I am 20 years old and a junior in college working on a biology degree. I know everyone says this, but I have the best family and friends! They have always been there for me. I have the most amazing parents, and a younger brother who is a pain sometimes. I come from a small family, so we are all really close. School is a huge stress right now, I am just ready to get out!!! haha. My fiancé Phillip just deployed with the Marines at the end of August. This is our first deployment, so it should be interesting. We have been together for 3 years and almost 2 months. We just recently got engaged in May :) I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him!!! These three years have taught me so much about myself and the love I have for him. I know this almost year-long deployment will only allow our love to grow even deeper. He has been in for one year already! It's crazy thinking about how fast time has flown by. The distance between GA and NC has only helped us learn more about each other. I will definitely be keeping an update on how everything is going!!! That is basically my life right now. I am really focused on school so I can graduate and move to NC to be with my Marine :) If you have any other questions, just ask <3
