Oh the life...



Here I am, starting an amazing blog! How exciting for me, for you, and for all who get to witness this wonderful site. So a lot has been going on in the life of Jessica Johnson. School, work, ambassadors, dating...life can get rough if you know what I mean. I miss my darn family back in South Jordan, who are all right now getting ready for the annual 'Johnson's Superbowl Eat-A-Thon' which is an event where loved ones gather around the kitchen counter and eat eat eat! There seriously is more food than provided on Thanksgiving Day! It is the best event of the year...the best holiday at that. And I am stuck here in Logan, where the Snow is two feet deep and my car gets stuck everytime I try to manuever out of the parking lot. Of course there are still wonderful activities going on. Take last weekend for example. A bunch of us decided to go and see Cloverfield. Yahoo. Not the best movie...well actually I don't know because I only saw a good 15 minutes of it. I got motionsickness and had to exit to the bathroom really quickly. I spilled my dinner...lovely I know. We got good photos though! I have also been on a few awesome dates...shooting is probably my favorite thus far, although eating pizza with Jason will always remain somewhere near and dear to my heart. I have just recently returned from a recruiting trip at Snow. It was an awesome trip, we did swell!! Everybody should get there A's up here to USU!! But the trip was full of adventure. I was the lucky one that got to drive the USU school Minivan. I was ok with that, it will prepare me for later in life when I have 8 kids. But I was driving along, listening to good tunes, contemplating life...when out of nowhere there was a ginormous rolled up mattress in the middle of the road. I as going about 80 MPH and I tried to swerve...I hit the side of the mattress and jumped over it...I drug it under the minivan for a couple seconds then jumped the second half. Have you ever been off a jump in a minivan? Wow...scary. I almost peed my pants. Maybe I did. A lot of other events happened that night which probably shouldn't be disclosed on a blog. Lets just say the night was named 'The Mattress Night' for a reason. It is always fun recruiting at Snow College! I miss it there! Utah State is treating me very well too. I have some awesome friends and some awesome experiences! I also work at the best place called RISE, working with developmental disabled people. It is the coolest job a person can ask for! I just went to Hardware Ranch with Robert and saw the Elk on a sleighride...that is just the beginning of a hard days work. :) I also got to see my good ol' neighbors competing at a swim meet in Hyrum! I love the Westras! :) Thats about all that is going on right now. I know this blog is like...HUGE...but deal with it. Haha just kidding, but give me some slack because it is my first one and I have a lot to say! That is all. Love you!!! Snow Badassadors!The cute swimming Westra Fam
