*****UPDATE 11/20/09*****

My Birthday is in 5 days!!!!! Ick for being 24 tho! lol Anyways, what i wanted to write about in this update is that my apology for being late on some swaps is old, I have caught up on all my swaps and have been more than dedicated to getting everything out on time. Swap-bot has became my life, and I love it! I do have three 3's for late swaps in the past. I simplly wanted to say that I have learned my lesson, and I wear those 3's as a badge of honor of lessons learned here on swap-bot, and see them as what taught me to be a better swapper! So I try my hardest now, I see how important it is. I have been flaked on, on some really big swaps and I see how bad it feels, I dont ever want to do that to someone else. So, please excuse my 3's, and know that they are behind me now! :)

My name is Jessica, I am 23 years old and I live in a small town in northern California, United States. I work full time as a secretary, and love my job. I have taught myself everything I know in the office department and managed to avoid college and still be sucessful. I recently got married to a U.S Marine in a small civil ceramony, but we are now planning our real wedding which is going to be a large extremely crazy mash and friends and family. My husband is mexican and has a huge family of course. I just moved into a new house and for the first time in over a year have cable TV, I am so excited! I love spending time with my family, and I love the new penpal friends that I am making through swap-bot swaps. I love being outdoors, camping, riding quads, boating, tanning, volleyball, anything at all really! And I have recently became addicted to Tea, all tea, hot tea, iced tea, just tea. I am finding out there is so much more to it than I thought! I love tea!!!

Currently LOVE country music, but I am into all kinds of music, from hard rock to top 40 stuff. I will listen to pretty much anything.

SCRAPBOOKING!!! Postcard writing, and collecting scrapbook paper! I am not overly crafty, actually until a friend introduced me to scrapbooking I was not crafty at all. I really enjoy it, and am enjoying the new craft hobbies that I am learning via swap-bot. Who know there was all of this craftyness out there to learn.

~I am currently addicted to anything and EVERYTHING Zebra print. Litterly, everything I own is becoming or can be zebra print. ~Also in love with the color PINK! If you are looking for something to send me, pink is always a safe bet! ~ STARS!! I love anything and everything with stars on it!!! ~I love scrapbook paper, all kinds, all shapes, all sizes, everything about it. ~ I have no fancy writing paper or stationary at all and am having a heck of a time finding it around here. I would love to collect more, as I am gaining many new penpals. ~ I love all thing black and white. Not just zebra print, but all things black and white in general. ~ I love sayings, all kinds of sayings, funny ones, thoughtful ones, encouraging, all kinds of things that have little sayings. I have lots of them framed and hung around my house. ~ I love all things tropical. Palms trees, flowers, flip flops, anything that has a tropical vibe to it. ~ I love stickers, have quiet a collection already but you can never have too many. ~ I love all things military. My husband is a Marine, and we are dedidcated to that, as well as too our country so patrioctic things will always be welcome in our home, ~ I love peguines, I think they are the cutest little creatures on earth and would own one if it were legal, or my husband would let me. ~ Love good books and good movies.

Or anything else that you want to send me! :)

I may not send the second partners are assigned on every swap, but I will send before the deadline unles I PM you and explain why. If you havent gotten my swap, and havent heard from me, please let me know, something could have gone heywire. I also want to state that if you are out of the country, my post office has a really really hard time getting things to you in a timely manner, so please allow me a little more time, or PM me. Also, I am far from the most experienced Swapper around, but I am not a newbie either, I have learned alot of lessons. I would like to extend my help to newbies out there. I would love to help by doing private swaps to get ratings up. Please PM me if you are a newbie and want my help! :)

I know most of us out there have them, but I dont know to what degrees they all get involved in your swaps. My husband and I share everything, and he loves swap-bot as well, but feels as a Marine he cant join himself. So, I just want everyone to know, if you are sending me something, I will share it with my husband, letters, journals, items, everything that comes to me, I share with him. If for whatever reason (which I completely understand) you are not comfortable with him reading or seeing what you have sent me, please let me know either in the begining of your letter or swap, or by PM when sending. I am more than willing to honor your wishs and not share with him if you arent comfortable with that. And please, dont feel you need to censor yourself at all when sending to me, he is very open and not judgemental. :)
