Day 229 and Adios at Pappasito's

Hey Bailey,
You've met the Liverett family, right? They've been a huge part of my life since high school and their oldest son (and one of my dearest friends) Thomas, is leaving for New Zealand tomorrow . He's going for a five month long discipleship/mission trip and we are so excited for him! Tonight we had a going away party for him at one of his favorite restaurants, Pappasitos Cantina in Houston. It was great getting to spend time with the Liveretts, Jill and Tyler, other church friends (and of course, Cale.)
Enjoy what's left of your time at Sky Ranch!
Talk to you soon I hope.
Love,
Jessie Jean
P.S. It was so humid outside tonight... hence the light haze on the camera lens. haha

Day 228 and the Hammock

Hola!

This was Jeff's graduation gift from me and has become one of our favorite things to do. After spending some time at the local coffee shop spending time in the Word, we set up in Tyler State Park and read. We also went to Pier One and dreamed of what our house together will look like. I think we already have some paint colors picked out for his (soon to be our) apartment :)

I feel like I haven't talked to you in ages. Can we talk soon?

Love you!

Bailey

Day 227 and the Surpise Anniversary Dinner

Hey Bailey,
I'm so glad you got to spend the week with Jeff's family, I bet he was so refreshed by their company and encouragement. Plus I bet y'all had lots of fun! Last night I was invited to celebrate the 25th wedding anniversary of Alan and Melissa Gardenhire. Hannah arranged the whole thing, secretly inviting the Floyd family, who are very close with the Gardenhires. We ate dinner at Madden's in Bryan, and sat outside the Village Cafe for a bit just talking and enjoying each others company. It was so neat hearing how the success of their marriage was a complete testimony of God's faithful work in their lives; they are an amazing family and I've loved getting to know them. It made me so excited for you and Jeff and the journey you two are about to embark on. How great will it be to sit with y'all (and your children) one day, celebrating 25 wonderful years of pursuing the Lord together! I miss you dear friend, thinking of you and praying for you.
Love,
Jessie Jean

Day 226 and the Green's Come to Town

Jessie,

I love the room! It's fun seeing some of my things already being used! I was also thinking I love how bright and sunshiney all of your pictures are...beautiful! Well, this weekend the Green family (minus Amberly) came to visit us at camp. We went and ate dinner last night and blueberry picked this morning. I think I spent more time eating them than picking them, haha. We are having such a great time...they been such a huge blessing in my life this last year, I can't wait until I'm officially a part of their family :)

Love you friend!

Day 225 and A View of the Room

Bailey,
It's been a tiring week; with working before and after class, and two tests in two days for anatomy, I definitely looked forward to coming home and resting (and reading a letter from a pretty sweet guy) today. ;)
I wasn't in a really creative mood, but when I read your phrase in the 224 post, "pillow talk," my train of thought went something like this: "pillow talk... she doesn't know what pillows I used for the bed!... or the bedspread I used... or what I put over the bed... She doesn't even know what any of the room looks like!" Haha I told you I'd take some pictures of it for you, and here I am delivering. Click here to see more pics on our public Picasa Album.
It was such a pleasant surprise getting to talk to you last night as well. I know it will be hard to leave Jeff (tell him I said hi too!) but I'm definitely going to cherish this last semester together. Hurry back okay?
Love you,
Jessie Jean
P.S. I'm so proud of how "on top of it" we've been with our posts lately!

Day 224 and Reeci Moon

Tuesday, July 20, 2010Jessie,

So glad I got to chat with you last night and hear about what's going on this week. Although it's going to be sad leaving Jeff at the end of the summer, I am looking forward to spending one last semester with you! Late night pillow talk, wedding planning, 365 adventures...can't wait!

I would like you to meet my friend Reeci Moon. One of my favorite things about my job is getting to play with my John's kids Reeci, Boston, and Charli. Reeci is five years old and all girl! We love braiding hair, dancing, and playing barbies together. One of my favorite things about this girl is her sweet spirit. She is so loving toward her younger siblings, and it so evident the Lord is moving in her heart.

Tell Cale I said hi!

Love you,
Bailey

Day 223 and Dad and Me

Hey Bailey,
Love the photo, it was so fun (but not too hard) figuring out which pair of legs went with each of you ladies!
I spent the weekend in Conroe celebrating my Dad's 52nd birthday and hanging out with Cale and my family. After dinner on Saturday, we thought it would be fun to show Cale some home videos of us Sartins. So in honor of my dad and the hour we all spent watching us at this stage of life (1992ish) I made a "then and now" photo collage. I couldn't help but be so thankful for my family and look forward to making many more memories of my own one day.
Talk to you soon!
Love,
Jessie Jean
