Love and Weddings

Hey everyone!
I am absolutely exhausted after a fabulously awesome day! I've just gotten home from my cousin's wedding and I am still overcome by what love can achieve. I am so proud of my big cousin and his beautiful bride, they are absolutely perfect for each other. I cannot think of a more perfect pair.
My cousin has grown from a little mischievous trouble maker into a doctor with a PhD who researches brain functions at a university and now into a happy man with a beautiful, smart wife by his side. I am so proud of him and I think that ever since he met Fiona (his now wife) he has become more comfortable with himself and with his family. I certainly feel more comfortable around him.
And what can I say about Fiona?
She is the most beautiful girl I have ever met and is absolutely perfect for Tim. The pair of them fit each other so wonderfully. They're almost like puzzle pieces, in a field where one has shortcomings the other strives and vice versa. It's so beautiful to see that two people have found their perfect soulmates and I know that they will be happy together forever.
The ceremony was beautiful, it started at 11:00am in Newstead Park in the city by the river. It was held directly beside the river and was very romantic and informal. It was so beautiful that I almost began to cry and Mum certainly did! After that we hung around the park and talked to the hundreds of relatives that had come from all around Australia and the world (we had some from London and China) for this one wedding!
Then at 12:30 we all moved to the Allan Border Pavillion at the Allan Border fields for the reception. We had pre-lunch drinks until about 1:30 when we were moved into a proper large dining area and let me tell you it was just like a posh wedding reception! It was gorgeous, the chairs had white almost sheet like things over them with large gold ribbons tied at the back of them. We had an entree at about 2:15 and then our main meal which was of salmon and some form of sauce, all beautifully presented, of course. Then there were some wonderful speeches, from Fiona's father, Tim's father and the Best Man. The speeches were so wonderful I was almost moved to tears. The idea that so many people from so many corners of the world came together to celebrate love has made me realise that love is one of the most powerful things in the world, even though I already kind of knew that. Tim's speech was wonderful, so romantic, he continued to complete his new wife and her beauty and everything about her and it was wonderful, so wonderful! I was almost crying, I just hope that someday my wedding will be as beautiful and as moving as this one. It was truly a joyous occasion. I loved it.
Then Tim and Fiona cut their wedding cake, and we all had a piece. It was lovely, there were toasts (I had non-alcoholic wine) and everyone honoured the new bride and groom. I felt so happy for them, it was wonderful. Finally they shared their first dance as husband and wife, it was so beautiful. Tim looked so nervous but Fiona soon put him at ease and they moved together as one, which was so sweet and romantic. Soon there was lots of talking and dancing going on and finally our family (Mum, Dad, Nick and I) left at 6:00pm after a very long day.
And now I'm here, reflecting on it all and how proud I am of my cousin and his wife. They deserve every happiness in the world, they deserve everything, they deserve perfection.
Love is the best thing in the world, it brings people together, and when two people find each other and realise that they are soulmates it is the most amazing thing you will ever see. I am proud to have witnessed the union of two wonderful people, I am so proud and happy.
I don't think I will ever forget the Best Man's words, the best part of his speech I think: 'Tim came into work one morning with this stupid grin on his face, so, because I'm a grumpy old bugger and his happiness was pissing me off I asked him what had happened. And he said: Last night I kissed my flatmate.'
That's how it all began. This wonderful love that Tim and Fiona share, it started with a simple kiss and ended with a wedding. But it didn't really end, it's more like the beginning. The true beginning of their love and life together.
I'm so excited for them.
Love is beautiful and so are weddings!
Love you all!
Jess.

Where the hell have I been?

Hey everyone!
Right I know what you're all thinking....where have I been for the past 4 months????
Well I have been busy with school (that sure paid off, but we'll talk about that later) and family. But hopefully you will all have forgiven me for neglecting the faithful readers of my blog :D
Ok, time for the big news.......
I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know! It's awesome, right????? Well it's kind of old-news now, he asked me out a month and two weeks ago but still, I'm celebrating!!!!!!!!!! *Turns on celebratory music*
Last time I posted I was still talking about my "crush" whom I was too scared to let go of. But, soon after I last posted, my boyfriend and I began chatting a lot more and a crush on him that I had had at the end of last year came rushing back!!!!
I told him I liked him (I know right????? Me being brave?????? That's insane!) and then he told me that he liked me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A guy liked me!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG, I went into major meltdown mode! Mum came over and asked me how I was going talking to him (she had known about my crush on him since it had started in December last year) and I burst into tears telling her that he had told me that he liked me!
I was over the moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway and then on the 21st of May the thing I had been waiting for finally happened. And oh my god I couldn't have planned it better myself.
My boyfriend asked me to go for a walk away from our lunch group and so as we walked I was babbling on like an idiot! I would not stop talking, that's how nervous I was! So my boyfriend stopped walking after a couple of minutes and I stopped as well, though I didn't take the hint and kept chatting away like anything! And then he gave me a look, you know the look, like: 'Shut up, I want to talk now.'
So I finally stopped babbling like an idiot and he said:
"So, do you want to go out with me?"
And this was my response inside my head:
"OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG, this is actually happening! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG, I'm going to have a boyfriend! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG, why the hell haven't you said anything yet???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
So my mouth finally got the message and managed to say:
"Uhhhhhh.......yes!"
and he was like:
"I thought you'd say that."
And then we walked back to the group, laughing and laughing because we were so relieved it was over!!!!
I can't believe what an idiot I sounded like! I mean what girl honestly says:
"Uhhhhhh.......yes!" When the guy she has been crushing on for ages asks her out????????? What teenage girl honestly says that???????????
So I think it's offical, I don't actually have a proper teenage bone in my body! I don't know the first thing about being a teenager.....well except the boyfriend part, that I know a bit about.
But I don't know anything else about being a teen!!!!!! How the hell are you meant to be a teenager???????????
Anyway, I guess that's enough of my freaking out and using over-punctuation. I'd just like to say one thing before I say goodbye.
I have a boyfriend, I have a boyfriend and he is the best guy in the world. He is cute, funny, smart, kind, confident and can always make me feel better. I have no clue why he likes me but, god, I'm so lucky!
I love my life.
Love you guys always,
Jess.
P.S: I'm taking a leaf out of Meg Cabot's book and from now one my boyfriend will be known as He Who Will Not Be Named In This Blog (or HWWNBNITB for short)
P.P.S: My message for the day: Stay young, don't grow up too fast because then you'll spent the rest of your life trying to grow down!

Guides, Boys, State AGMS and Brothers

Hey there everyone!
Well it's been an eventful few days for me......for one this guy called Brett asked me out, which was really really sweet of him, I've known him for years and years and he's a pretty nice guys. Though I had to say no, but it made me really happy to know that someone likes me in that way, so I really am glad that he asked me out, it gave me a real confidence boost though I was sad to hurt his feelings by saying no to him.
Anyway I have so many exams right now it is making me crazy.....I can't stand it anymore!!!!!!!! My brain is going to explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a Science test tomorrow and a SOSE response to stimulus exam as well, ARGH! It's nuts!!!!
But anyway, I got my results for my King Arthur essay back today and I was like: I hope I get a good mark, I better get a good mark, I spent soooooooooooooooooooooo many days on that assignment...please let me get a good mark.....
And.....................
I GOT AN A+ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyhoo, excuse my random outburst just then............I don't know what else to write about......Oh right, I remember something to write about now!!!!
Last night was my Guide groups St Patrick Day party (I know, we were a week too late.....let's move on!) We all brought friends and did heaps of really really cool activities and it was really fun....I had a great time except now I'm really tired and my brother is sick and had to go to hospital last night (just to get some antibiotics, he's ok now).
Oh! And my guide leader, Fiona, picked me and my friend Rose to go to the State AGM on Friday night and speak at it about how Guides has helped us reach our full potential and we have to read some poems and say some sayings and stuff....it's a really big deal for me and Rose and we're really excited....I'm sooooooooooooooooo proud that she picked me out of the girls in our unit seeing as I'm one of the youngest.....It made me really proud.
Oops, I have to go and have dinner and do other stuff.
Love you all.
TTYL,
Jess.

Catch-up

Hey there everyone!
Sorry about not posting for a while, that always seems to be my first sentence in any post....he he!
Anyway, this will only be a short post because I have to go and have dinner in a moment. But I'm doing really really well in school at the moment and I'm really proud of myself. My teachers were proud of me and said that I was doing brilliantly in my classes, which was a massive relief! Mum was ecstatic and said that I had really great teachers and that she was really proud of me....YAY! GO ME!
I have soooooooooooooooooooooo many tests next week! I have one test on Wednesday (science), two tests on Thursday (English and Maths) and another two tests on Friday (English, again, and Maths, again!)
I'm really happy with how I'm going at school and there hasn't been any more massive fights with friends which is good.....there have been a few comments but that's ok, I can deal with that.
Oops, I have to go, dinner time, Dad's going to shout at me.
Love all you guys, I'll post again soon, I'm so relieved that I'm doing well!
TTYL,
Jess.

BEST NIGHT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there faithful blog followers!
Well last night was possibly the BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went over Amy's house for a girls movie night with Ash and we had the best time!!!!!!! We played 'Life' which is a board game and that was really fun, Ash and I sang along to most of the songs on the cd player and so did Amy which was really cool.....we actually didn't sound that bad!
Then we got into our swimmers and sarongs and ran around the backyard, then we collapsed on the trampoline and looked at the stars and talked about anything and everything.
Finally we got into the SPA (they have a spa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and watched Mamma Mia! It was really cool because we all chose a character and sang all there songs in the movie which was really really fun....I love to sing!!
Anyway we finally went to bed at like 12:30 and woke up really early and went on heaps of bike and scooter rides and lazed about and had water fights and did heaps of other really cool stuff today.....YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway I don't want to talk too much more about it because I'm sure I'm boring you all, so I'll move on to something else that happened to me.
I was laying on the trampoline staring at the stars with the others and all of a sudden I really wanted to see a certain someone (and it's not who you are all thinking) I just really wanted to see them so badly, not hug them or anything but just see their face.......I don't know why, must be something about growing up. Yeah but I couldn't believe just how much I wanted to see that person, it was crazy....but I won't get a chance to see him for ages (till May) and god I miss him so much, I've known him since 2005 and thought I had gotten over my crush on him but obviously I haven't.....I just wanted to see him so much!
Anyway, I'm probably boring you but yeah....that's me!
I had the BEST NIGHT EVER with Amy and Ash and I am so going to be planning my own movie night for all my besties just so we can have just as much fun!
TTYL,
Jess.

I was so stupid!

Hey there everyone!
This is just a quick note about something important that I have realised over the past few days........
The most important thing that you can have in your life is some good friends, they are the best accesory, in fact they go with everything....not just clothes, but they go with every day, every emotion and everything that happens to you.
Life is a rollercoaster, things go up and down and stuff happens so randomly that often you don't know what to expect. So often, your friends are the only thing that remain the same in your life. Sometimes they are the only thing that keeps you sane.
Earlier this week I almost lost one of my greatest friends because of a stupid little thing....Now that everything is fixed I realise just how great my loss could have been.
As soon as the fight happened I got this really sick feeling in my stomach, like a big hole had opened up where my stomach used to be......I realise now that that is the place where your friendships sit, making you feel all happy and bubbly. And when I almost lost one of my greatest friends, who I know will always support me, then the happy feeling disappeared.
That is how important friendship is.....Luckily I came to my senses and the fight was resolved....I will never do something so stupid again, I have to stick by my friends and know that they will stick by me no matter what.
Friendship is so precious I feel like I was dying when I almost lost it. I'll never be so dumb again, everything is back to normal now and I feel so happy about it.
Make sure you never make the same mistake I did, friendship is the most important thing in life.
I love all my friends and will never let you guys go!
TTYL,
Jess.
