Getting To Know Me

Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Hallo, Ahoj...

  The names Jessi and I can never resist the urge to randomly take photos. I love stimulating conversations with just about anyone. I am a lover of the Arthurian legends. My upbringing was quite unorthodox, I explain it as growing up on both "sides of the track." I have often been described as having an eclectic taste and am unconditionally obsessed with fashion. I like to think of myself as an inveterate learner. I am currently in the works for a degree in sociolinguistics, but I hope to be an interpreter to help put me through school. I have two amazing, handsome, and crazy boys; I plan on making them confident gentleman. I have been married to my husband, David, for almost ten years now and he is in the United States Marine Corps, he is my best friend even when I hate the sound of his voice some days (we have our issues, like everyone else). I have decided to start up a blog again so that I can keep a running record of all my thoughts and ideas, but also to help bring awareness to those causes near and dear to me. 




  On January 23 of 2017 I began, what the doctors refer to as, my "new normal." That date will forever be etched in my mind, it was the day I became the most brave I had ever been and also the day I was the most terrified. It was the day I underwent a middle fossa craniotomy, at Duke University, for a 7 mm acoustic neuroma. The ups and downs that I experienced during my process has changed me in ways that only God can. This blog has a special section (under construction til 2018) that will be dedicated to bringing awareness and aid to those who have questions that no one has been able to answer or that you think are to silly to ask. 

      


  This is a diary of my life, however, remember that I am human and I make mistakes. If there is something that you do not agree with or that you feel may be inappropriate please message me, I would love to hear your point of view in a scholarly manner. I believe in learning from others, that it does take a village to raise a child, and anything is possible so long as you work for it.
