I have been going through a little personal trial, and to go through one across the country from your family is hard. However, on Friday I had a knock on the door and saw the most beautiful arrangement of flowers- I've never been so surprised. They were from my sister Jenn and of course the message on the card made me cry and brightened my whole day. When I called to thank her she explained that she felt so strongly to send me flowers and exactly what to say on the card. Jenn has always had that precious ability to cheer me up or support me through a hard time.
So Jenn, thanks for being my angel.

I love checking out your blog every so often and looking at your beautiful family. I'm sorry you are having a rough time right now and hopefully things will brighten up. Congrats to your husband on getting into a residency close to home. That is nice! Will you be moving this year after graduation? Isn't it crazy that time just flies by and before you got into dental school it seemed like it would be an eternity before he graduated. That is how it has been with Joseph in medical school. I can't believe we are looking at residencies already. Crazy!
Jess- I feel so bad that you were dealing with such hardness! It is so hard living so far away, and I can't wait for the day that we can just drive over and bring you a pop or take you out to lunch to make you feel better! I felt so bad when you told me and I just hope you know how much I love you and how amazing I think you are! You are the most incredible mother, sister, and wife- so beautiful inside and out! That was so sweet of Jenn to send those flowers- she just has that gift, and always seems to know when you need a lift! I love you so much Jess and hope that you have such a great day!
You are so funny and it's even funnier that I think we could be best of friends too. We seem a lot alike, I'm flattering myself by saying that because you seem so fun. We actually considered going to school in Bradenton, Florida ~ ironic. Maybe we'll end up at a residency in New Mexico =) Take care and like I said earlier, I hope things get easier really soon. It is sure hard to be away from family when times are tough. Last summer I was dealing with an ectopic pregnancy and things didn't turn out so swell and it sucked that I couldn't just turn to my family for support. I felt so alone because I didn't really want my friends out here to know what was going on because it was just too much but family was so far away. I'm not trying to compare anything that you are going through to that, but I will keep you in my prayers.
Jessica, you write the nicest comments on my blog! Thank you so much...it made my day. I hope you are doing okay...you are such a beautiful person on the inside and out! Jennifer is an angel and so are you...aren't sisters the best? Whenever I am having a bad day they are who I call first to vent. I bet you guys really do miss one another. It is hard to be away from family going to school. We did it for 7 years of our marriage and it was good for us but pretty lonely sometimes too. I am proud of all you and Brody are accomplishing and will keep you in my prayers. Good luck!
Wow! That was really sweet of you Jess. You didn't even have to do that, but thanks for what you said. I am just glad that it could help a little bit. Living so far away almost feels helpless sometimes, but someone in Heaven loves you a lot! I do too and hope that everything starts looking up - it always does! Infact, sometimes I am almost relieved when I am going through something hard because then I know there are going to be good things ahead. That is such a pretty picture of you - and I will still be thinking about you and praying for you. We have always been there for each other and we always will. I would still get on the phone and "call" if I had to:)
Jess -- This entry made me bawl for several reasons. It breaks my heart that you are going through whatever hardness it is. I am so sorry and will pray to have your burdens lifted. I was also emotional for how blessed you are. When I saw the pictures with flowers I thought, "Nancy of course." And when I read it was Jenn it made me really emotional. Sisters are always true and Jennifer is true in every sense of the word. She is really in tune . . . and yet it is so fun how she's not self at all. Anyway, know that everyone adores you. I was telling Grandma this morning on our pop run how Nancy's girls are all just like her in mothering. You are an INCREDIBLE mother, Jess. Your mom and sisters have told me, and you can just tell that you are so tender and always put your kids first. They are your life and it shows. Know that I love you, and am sorry you are having hardness, but am grateful that you have an army to help you through it. LOVE YOU!!! XOXO Amy
That is so awesome that you have such a great family and such support. I love looking at your pictures and your family to see how you are doing. I hope all is well and sorry for what ever has caused you pain. I know that what ever is troubling you will only make you stronger...
I'm sorry for whatever hardness you are going through. Sisters are amazing and seem to know when you need something. I hope things get better and like most of your comments say...hard times make happy times so much happier! I hope things get better!
