Valentines Day 5

I Love:

Jesi

Jesi is one of the finest people I know! Being around her always brightens my day. She has been a great friend during hard and easy times and loved me all the same. I'm so thankful that the Lord saw fit to place her in my path, and I feel so blessed to name her among my best of friends.

Our personalities, desires and hobbies are just enough alike but so vastly different that we get along great. My only wish is that I could spend time with her each day. Instead I think about her often and get around to calling her not near as often as I should. I detest phone conversations. I'm all about the real deal. Thankfully Jesi is too. We will usually get together for a girls night out, play dates with the kiddos, three hour trips to the grocery store (we know how to make a trip count), walks in the woods, and other adventures where we just talk and talk until... well, mostly until her ears get sore. I'm a talker. Or until life calls us onward.

Jesi is a good story teller- always having a great one to tell and she teaches me so much when she shares them with me. She would tell you she is full of useless facts which nobody cares to know, but I LOVE ALL of her useless facts. If she has them in her head, I want to hear them. What a good set up we make! Trust me when I say that all of her facts are fascinating useful- I'm glad she collects them and feels free to share them with me!

Jesi is the queen of organization and it thoroughly amazes me. In her home, bins have their desired contents listed on the outside of them- complete with pictures (for the kids). The best part- is that she uses them! Mine would either be empty or stacked so high one could never find their desired bin. She has flip charts magnetized all over her home with reminders of chores, spiritual needs, motherly needs, personal needs, weekly and yearly goals. Her energy is outstanding. If I had an ounce of it, I would be so lucky.

There are several characteristics I admire in Jesi. To name a few: she is full of passion, laughter, humor, hard work, order, intellect, compassion, love, and forgiveness. The way she chooses to live her life after all the rough patches she has made it through is impressive to say the least. She truly emulates the Savior in all she does and I benefit greatly from her sweet spirit and example.

Love you Jesi- you really are the best! Thanks for putting up with me after all this time.

P.S. Don't ever move... Please! You know you love Logan more than Oregon- you know it!
