you are glowing and looking absolutely lovely i might add! =0)
I'm glad things are going well. Or at least that you are to smile!
I'm working on planning out TOG Yr 2 for next year. I saw that you had SOTW 2 scheduled with History Scribe. By any chance do you also have SOTW 3 with History Scribe? I don't have SOTW 3 yet, so I cannot work it out myself until I have it.
Hope things continue to get better and better.
Blessings.
You look beautiful! I think you should use one of these photos on your profile; you look much happier and relaxed. I wish I had your poise and confidence- good for you! :)
You look fantastic! I am so happy for you. And proud of your hard work making things happen.
You DO look like you're glowing :) Good to see such a happy face after all you've been through recently! Oh, and I LOVE the adorable pixie haircut, it looks really great on you!

Jessica! You are beautiful! I am so glad to have a face with your blog. I absolutely hate any pictures of myself and people are always asking me why I don't have any on my blog but you look great. Following you through this journey has been very uplifting. You go girl! God has taken you in his hands and holding on to you. Very neat to see! Thank you for sharing.
Jessica- You look fabulous. Your new life is treating you well! Love the new hair!
Great pics! Love the hair color!
Absolutely Beautiful!!! Just lovely!!! I love it!
Dee :)
Absolutely beautiful, on the inside and out.
You look like you are doing well! I'm so proud of you.
You look fabulous! I really like your hair; it looks darker than in your blog picture. And you look surprising content, for all you've been through recently.
Cindy
Good to see you! The pictures turned out well.
Wishing you the very best--
--strider
You look fabulous! :)
What beautiful photos Jessic! You are such a brave, strong, determined woman and it shows in these pics. I admire you so much and am inspired whenever I visit your blog :-)
You are truly glowing. You must be taking care of yourself. Love the new haircut. You look happy. What a great sight for your kids to see daily.
So pretty!
Use the top one for your blog!
Chris in VA and Nature Girl
You look great!
Wow! You look happy, relaxed, and fantastic! I have no idea how old you are but you look so young. Keep up whatever you are doing!
Jessica.. well, you do look fabulous.. but I have to say...your blog is even more fabulous. I stumbled across it in a search engine (one of your earliest entries) and I READ the whole thing... yes all the way from the beginning... It was like reading another version of me... things you say... your beliefs and wants of homeschooling... etc. I feel like I have to say Hi. I was sorry that your life changed so abruptly but it seems it may have been a good thing?? Cheers to you and your strength... Oh, and I love your hair... it looks "fun" and manageable!
Hi, Jessica!
It has been so long! Hopefully, you remember me. Amy (TarponGirl) from Florida (then Minnesota). We chatted on the phone a few times and then lost touch. My life has been crazy and hectic in a very similar fashion to yours this past year but I am very glad that I "dropped in" to your blog to "check up" on ya! I am sorry to hear about how your situation finally panned out, but I completely understand. Drop me a line sometime when you get a second (hahaha) if ya want. Would love to hear from you!

Wow you are glowing. The look in your eye is amazing. These blow away the one in your sidebar. I know you're busy with real life but perhaps you can replace that one with one of these glowing ones?
So glad you are thriving.
Jessica, you look so cute. Your new hairstyle makes you look like Ashley Judd!
