Hilton Head for the Weekend

Well I'm off to Hilton Head for the long weekend. The wedding is on Saturday morning, and we don't head back until Tuesday. It should be a lot of fun, and this is the first time I have been on a vacation with the whole Patterson family to the beach. They aren't beach people like my family is so we'll have to see how it goes. I will say that now Josh and I get to stay in the same room since we are married, ha ha. I will post pics when I get back. Everyone have a great 4th of July weekend.

Too much Jim Beam

This was another funny picture. Justin just got done taking the shot of Jim Beam before the dollar dance. You can tell he is feeling that one.

New Look

New Hair cut
Originally uploaded by jellinger.

Ok so here is a picture of my new hair cut and color. I'm still getting used to it, but I know one thing. It is so much easier to take care of. I get to sleep in an extra 10 min in the AM. I just needed something different. Anyone have any big 4th of July plans? We are heading down to Hilton Head on Thursday. Josh's brother is getting married Saturday on the beach. Can't wait.

Just another picture

A new look

Well, I finally did it and cut my hair last night. Not to mention it is darker also. It is more of my natural color (sandy blonde) with some lighter blonde highlights. Not a huge difference but for me I can definitely tell it is darker compared to how it was at the wedding. And it is right above my shoulders. I mean I'm not sure if people will like it because people like long blonde hair, but I needed a change and it is more of a modern cute style. I like it so that is all that matters. But, I'll keep you all in suspense and not post a picture until Monday. Ha Ha.

Dinner Time

3 more days

Well, this is my last blog as Jessica Ellinger. What are you all going to call me now???? Ha Ha. I have a meeting this morning but then I have the afternoon off and the rest of the week. I have a couple of errands to run today and then I have to clean the house and get it ready for all the FAM coming into town tomorrow. I have to pick Matt up at the airport at 3:45pm tomorrow, then everyone is going out Thursday night. It should be a good time and I"ll get time to hangout with everyone before the wedding day. I'm really excited and anxious. Plus, this time next week I'll be laying on the beach in Montego Bay drinking some Margaritas. Well I can't wait to see everyone on Saturday (Shells Friday). Everyone get excited, it is going to be tons of funs, and be ready to dance all night long!!!
See you Saturday, I'll be the one in the white dress in front!!!!

5 days until the WEDDING!!

Well it is 5 days until the Big Day. Surprising I'm not nervous at all , just a little stressed and anxious, and it seems like it just all of a sudden hit me and it seems like there is such short time until Saturday. Oh Well though, I'm excited and can't wait and I took off Weds afternoon and Thursday and Friday. I'm just so ready for it to be here.

Bachelorette Party

Ok so here are some pics from my bachelorette party. It was a blast, and I had tons of fun. Started the day at Molly's house drinking Margaritas by the pool. Then got ready and had a cookout and opened lots of "Fun" presents, if you know what I mean. Then off to the Backstretch where we all took a "blow job" shot. Then the party bus picked us up and we went to the bars in Columbus. All I can say is that I think I had too much fun with the Penis Whitsle, ha ha. Well thanks girls for making the whole day great!!!!! Hope everyone had fun. I know I sure did!!! Can't wait to see you all soon. 10 days until the wedding!!!!
