This picture of me at the beach for 4th of July weekend has absolutely nothing to do with this post, other than the fact that I am an ice-cream-aholic and now that its summer time my addiction is getting worse. If I could eat only ice cream for the rest of my life, I totally would.
Hey, I'm Jessica! I like chocolate, boxer dogs, converse sneakers, my family and my friends, DIY craftin', and lots more. I have a really loud laugh that often people can never seem to forget. Jesus is my biggest passion, that guy changed my life from the inside out {but seriously I lost 50 pounds and accepted Jesus into my heart at the same time}. I especially love animals, mainly dogs and cats. As a matter of fact, I am heading over to my local humane society this week to do some volunteer work with the animals there, and I am so excited!
Some of you also may not know that I am a public relations intern, and it is honestly so much fun. I love everything about it. As a girl who majored in communication, I love everything that lies in the world of PR. I love the idea of building relationships with others and using social media to do just that. {(Hmmm, thats funny, sounds exactly like building a blog...;)} Anyways, I have been a PR intern for exactly a year now, and it has been a wonderful learning experience. One of my dream jobs one day is to work for the world's largest PR firm-Edelman. Yesterday, I wrote to you guys about how it looked like this summer I wouldn't be working at all, and I was totally okay with that. However later that day I found out that I in fact WOULD be working this summer, and it was all very unexpected. My intern boss emailed me and let me know that they had all agreed that it was time to start paying me. I was surprised, thankful, and beyond excited. It has been a long road getting to this point, and many times I wanted to give up, but it was worth every step.
Maybe some of you are wondering what I do as a PR intern. Maybe your not, and thats okay but I am still going to tell you anyway. ;).
I.....
·Write press releases to promote different events {I LOVE doing these!}
·Build and manage media contact databases {Facebook, Twitter, yah know!}
·Talk with other businesses, get to know them and strive to build new relationships with them
Although my heart lies in PR and working at Edelmen one day, another BIG part of my heart lies in working in ministry and sharing God's love with others. I am keeping an open mind, knowing that God has a way of twisting things around in our lives when we least expect Him to. I love writing, and I like the idea of writing my own book one day, about how Jesus changed my life. Yes, Public Relations is amazing, but Jesus is ten billion times more amazing. God's love over anything baby, holler atcha girl. But seriously, holler at me, I love new friends in the blogging world! Also, I am getting around to responding to many of your comments and emails on my blog that I haven't yet responded to. I have just been super busy catching up with all of those, but I promise that I love hearing from the each of you and that I always look forward to getting to know my blog friends better!
I love you guys! Seek God's love first today, its better than anything that this world offers, and its unconditional. I am thinking I am going to hopefully get around to posting my 3rd VLOG this week on here, so be on the lookout for that! Fun stuff!
Love always, Jess
