I've been thinking that it would be fun to start posting random information about me (and probably Matt, too) that many people we know may not know about us. For me, it may be things I used to do but just don't anymore or pre-kid things.
So here's the first one I thought of:
I can french-braid my own hair.
I haven't done it in forever for a couple of reasons: 1. It hasn't been long enough most of the last few years. 2. Braiding takes longer than not braiding and I'm busy. :) I wore my hair like this a lot in high school, (I was weird) especially on football games days when it needed to go under my hat. Which brings me to Fact About Jessica #2:
I was in the marching band in high school. In fact, I was honored as being the best new female marcher my freshman year. Honestly, marching is kind of like math as a sport. It's about counting and spatial reasoning. I dropped a ton of weight marching, but it's not particularly athletic, just hard and hot. I actually enjoyed marching season, even though I don't like being outside and I don't like football games. Go figure. I think I was actually better at marching than I was at playing my instrument. Which brings me to FAJ (Fact About Jessica) #3:
I play the flute... badly. Or I play it now badly. I wasn't too awful back in the day. I actually was accepted into the music program in college as a flute major. Then I decided I wanted major in elem. education instead of music education. So for like a few minutes in college I was actually a music major. (You can call that FAJ #4).
Isn't this child precious?! I just had to post this picture even though it doesn't have anything to do with this post. :)

Oh my goodness - your hair is lovely like that. Your hair is always lovely, but your braids are so even and thick and your hair color is so un-boring just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have some great pix of us with the braids...I still braid mine all the time...well, when I have the time...great way to keep it out of my face, and I really enjoy the actual braiding process...not sure why. And really, I was a good marcher, too, but am HORRIBLE at spatial reasoning and stuff...so it can't be only that. I am good at memorizing random stuff, though, or used to be. Maybe that's it! I'm trying to grow my hair back out, so there will probably be more braids in my future! I love braids, and since I'm the only girl here, I have to do something!!
