Oklahoma pics

Here are a few pics from the weekend in Oklahoma.


The cleaning of the pumpkins. Mmmm.

Our final products... Jacob made an awesome Tabernacle, mine was supposed to be wedding rings (Three for Jesus, Jamon and Jessica) but it ended up looking like a radioactive symbol... I am so creatively challenged! Tricia made"One nation under God" Troy made an erupting volcano and Theresa made Tux, her friendly penguin!

ONE WEEK!!!!!!

Oh wow. August was the last post eh?!

Where do I even begin?

1. GOD IS SO GOOD!

2. Jamon and I are getting married in ONE WEEK!

3. I'm the new Development Director of the Catholic Student Center at Texas State University.

I'd say those are the largest updates. :)

Currently I'm at home in Oklahoma... yes, the fam moved to OKC. Trish and Jacob are at home so I came home to see them. I love my family. Last night we all sat in the hot tub and today we played basketball and carved pumpkins. The house smells like vanilla and chex mix. I love coming home. Mom will hate this... but I can always count on there being a plethora of food and for the house to feel like an ice-box. If you ever come to Oklahoma to visit be sure to bring a blanket and plenty of socks to layer.

Sooooo, the most up and coming event in my life. MARRIAGE!!!!!!! I don't know if I can adequately express my excitement in the written word. Let me see if I can describe a scene that will help portray my emotions. Imagine me, with the biggest grin on my face i.e. you can see all my teeth... I know you've all seen my smile like that! then know that I'm doing a dance around the living room and my feet are not even touching the ground. The sun is shining bright there are a plethora of vibrant flowers everywhere.. and shoot, just to top it off, birds and angels are singing and puppy dogs are wagging their tails! I'm marrying my best friend and couldn't be happier. I can't even begin to type all of the amazing things that have taken place in the planning of this wedding. It has been made abundantly clear to me that God had this marriage and wedding planned out long before I ever even met Jamon.

I cannot wait to celebrate with everyone who is able to make it in for our big day. So exciting... and I know without a doubt that those who couldn't make it physically will be with us in spirit and covering us in prayer. To everyone who has already expressed their congratulations, love and support... THANK YOU! I'm taking in every word and realize on a daily basis just how blessed I am to have the people that I do in my life. HUGs all around!!!!

More later... riiiiiiight. No really, I'm going to try!

Love love love,
Jessica soon to be Copeland
