Hello! I'm Jess and I blog over at Polished Arrow where I talk and ramble on about a little bit of everything under the sun. I'm a twenty-something single who loves coffee, books, journaling, sunrises, and lying in my hammock. I love to travel and dream of going everywhere one day. Jesus is a huge part of my life and through Him I've been able to live and serve in some pretty fun places across the nation, like New Orleans and Tahoe City in California! I'm an introvert who loves people and wants everyone to know and believe their worth, that they matter, that they have a story worth telling. I'm so excited to be here with you guys today! Thank you, Kiki, for this fun opportunity!
Jess is just one of those girls that you know is amazing--and that's just when you see her smile! This girl is full of honesty, encouragement, Jesus' love, and so much more. Having another sister in Christ who's waiting and trusting in His timing for marriage has been such a blessing and exchanging emails with her and bonding over TV has brought us even closer.
Speaking of TV, when Jess and I were discussing what topic we would choose, she suggested that we do a play on a well-known skit of the one and only Jimmy Fallon. To be honest, I hadn't heard of it before but once I watched a clip or two, I was hooked and ready to write some thank you notes. If you, too, are unfamiliar with these notes, take a look:
While I know that most of us are not born with the gift of comedy (ahem, me), Jess and I have also realized that it's of equal importance to write sincere thank you notes to those people and things around you that you're thankful for, too. Think of them as little notes of love or laughter. You take your pick!
Thank you bubbles for being the best and most magical pick-me-up for kids (and adults) of all ages.
Thank you Trader Joe's for being a grocery store for the kids at heart. From your packaging, to your product names, and fun flavors, you've got my heart...and my waistline.
Thank you white legs for being my go-to white balance while taking photos outside. Who would've guessed pale legs could come in handy?
Thank you late nights for being the prime time for my blog posts to go out. Maybe that's why my posts have had so many typos lately?
Thank you smart sponsored ads for being so smart and knowing where I've been searching and what I've been window shopping for. If you ask me, though, it's verging on creepy, not smart.
Thank you Let it Goat for giving me a chuckle after hearing the Frozen soundtrack 24/7 at work played on the CD player and sung by the most passionate 3-5 year olds ever. #themostrequestedsongever
So what are you thankful--or not-so-thankful--for? Jess and I cannot wait to see what you come up with! I'm hoping I can even use the old Twitter to tweet some of my faves (finger's crossed I remember, haha).
