Intro. This Is Me.

My name is Jerrica. I go by many different names. You can call me Jer, Jer-bear, Jereeka-cheeka, Boo hisser, J-jizzle, etc. I have long blonde hair, and green eyes. Sometimes my eyes change colors to blue, depending on what color of clothes I wear. However, my license says green, so we'll stick with that. I don't like wearing make up, but I wear it anyway. Hair? Yeah, we got the natural curl going on almost every day. When it's straightened, I love it, but often don't take the time.


I'm a pretty easy going person. I will be shy when you first meet me, but as you get to know me you'll see my personality come out. At random times I will crave coloring, eat crackers, or just have a dance party with whoever I'm standing next to. I am a happy person, but no one's perfect. I do have my faults, and have bad days. I mess up, I slack off, I don't color in the lines. Sometimes I get caught up in the negative and don't realize all of Gods creations passing me by. I cry often, but smile ten times as much. When I can't get myself out of the dumps, I pray and ask to notice a miracle the next day. I always do.


My family means the world to me. They have always been there for me, and I don't know what I would do or who I would be without them. I like coming home on the weekend to see them, rather than my friends. If you ask me to tell you which parent I'm closer to, I can't. Because I'm close to both. They're amazing. My brother is on a mission right now, he will be getting home this summer and I couldn't be happier. Missionaries have a special place in my heart. We will both be going to school the same time, same place. I couldn't be more excited, I have a count down.


Religion is how I live. I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm proud of it, grateful for it. I believe that love is real, but hard to find. I believe people are sent to us, to answer prayers. I know that I'm being tested, and watched over. I know I am loved, by my Father in Heaven.


Utah State is where I go. I've learned to love Logan. I wasn't so sure of it when I first arrived. I've met people who have changed my life. I love them. I've discovered new hobbies, figured out what I want to do, and a glimpse of who I want to be. I've watched friendships die, heart ache, new friendships reborn. I've been blessed above and beyond what I deserve. School is coming along, but I still have a few years to go. It's going to be a great ride.


I'm the kind of girl who loves date dances, and getting all dressed up. I will sleep an extra fifteen minutes and forget the cute clothes. I enjoy side walk chalk and flying kites. I shower when I feel like it. Parks are my idea of fun. Bike rides on a Sunday are A-okay. Thanksgiving is the greatest holiday known to man. Eating peanut butter M&M's are the love of my life. I would someday, like to meet an Amazing RM, fall in love, get married in the temple, have a family, and own a Jeep. I go on runs in shorts and t-shirts when it's snowing, I find it therapeutic. Others call my crazy. Once I tried to drink two bottles of water a day, I thought I would die on the toilet, seeing as that is where I spent half my time. When I get letters in the mail, I can guarantee you I will do a happy dance. I love to read. Books will never leave me. Miracles happen daily. My life ain't perfect, but it's mine.
