Okay so now that I've cooled down a little from venting.... I'm going to blog about some things that I really care about. Sorry I don't really have a lot of pictures in my blog. Maybe I'll use the camera when I go home to update you on my fun life back at home. It's still insane that I'm going home for a while, it feels like I don't belong there-- but then again, I do belong wherever my Mom is.
I was reading a woman's blog from my home stake that my Mom had in Young Women's. I can tell how much she truly loves her children. Her blogs and posts are filled with their faces and their adventures and she remembers the smallest things or the most interesting things they say to her. I want to be that kind of Mom. Which I'm sure all mothers have this feeling of-- I'm the most horrible Mother and I could have done better-- at least that is what my Mom tells me. Let's not be so hard on ourselves here. But I want to have the kind of relationship with my children where they feel free to come in and talk to their parents about anything. If they are scared, concerned, excited, if they need help, I want to show that unfailing love to them that our Heavenly Father has for each of us. I don't know when I will get married and I don't know when I will have children, but I do know that each experience I go through will be useful to me when I have children. I have had to give multiple friends advice this semester on so many different levels and I have learned how to listen and how to give advice when it is asked for. But I enjoy being a listener even though it does wear me out sometimes ;)
I want my kids to love reading, music, being outside, using their imaginations, making friends, creating works of art that are their own, laughing, talking all the time to the point where I almost go insane. In a way, I want my kids to be like me. So I can see how I was when I was a kid. And I'm sure if they are a lot like me, I will know their tricks and mindsets, but every child is different and never a carbon copy of their parents.
I wonder when those little kids will come.... hmm... let's not rush it :D

Hey Jessica, first of all, I know that you will make an AMAZING mother and wife. You are just simply an amazing young woman. Any good and righteous young man would be lucky and blessed to have you. Everything you are doing now is preparing you to be a great mother in Zion!! And you really did have a great example from your Moma and your Ma!
I know your Moma was a good Moma and she loves you more than life itself for sure! She really is an amazing woman. We were just talking about her the other day. There are some classes that have trouble with some of their youth at church, not saying who, but Your moma never had one bit of trouble from any youth. She knew how to work with and talk to them. They knew she loved them and they loved her! I have known your moma for 30+ years and she is truly one of the greatest ladies I have ever known. What is the best part of your moma is that she is a righteous woman!!
