Last night we got to go to a concert! It was great!
Josh (because he's got mad skill) called into K-bull 93 and won four free tickets to the Low Dough Christmas Show!! So we called Taryn and Rob and convinced Robin that it wouldn't be the worse night of his life :)
So naturally the day of the concert I woke up sickly, because my life is amazing like that:) But I sucked it up, took some medicine and went anyway!
So we drove downtown and got to walk through the freezing cold to the ENERGY SOLUTIONS ARENA (really, whoever named it that deserves a kick in the shin). I kid. (tee-hee). We got to listen to three, that's right THREE different groups slash people! The first was Bombshell! They were amazing! They're songs are so fun and upbeat that if we had had the money I soooooo would've bought it right then and there! Then there was Buckey Covington. He was HILARIOUS!! He has awesome stage presents and he was so energetic. At one point he actually picked one girl up and took on stage with him, it was so cute! Then last, but definitely not least was Phil Vasser! Good night! He is great! He had a big ol' piano on stage that was ZEBRA SRIPED!!! Taryn and I just about jumped the body guards to get on the stage to play it!! I kid. (tee-hee).
But it was all great fun! I haven't been able to play with Taryn in a very long time and Joshua hasn't seen his Rob in so long! It was so great!

The Dark Threads
As a side note I found them in Mosiah 24 if the whole 5 people that read this would like to do some scriptural studying.
My life is but a weaving
Between my God and me:
I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.
Ofttimes He weaveth sorrow
And I in foolish pride,
Forget that He seeth the upper,
And I the under side.
Not till the loom in silent
and the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas
and explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
in the Weavers skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you c an understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on: you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts and does not seem to make sense. What on earth in he up to? The explanation is that he is building quite a different house that the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were going to be made in to a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace."
-C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity Pg. 160
I hope this helps someone. It is nice to be reminded at times that no matter what is going wrong, Heavenly Father knows, and that you do not know all of what is planned for you; that the dark threads are just as important as the threads of silver and gold.

Things to Come
All my pictures are on my computer but the internet is on my dads computer so I don't want to blog till I have pictures.
Halloween was AMAZING!
I love Halloween!
Mae was a lady-bug
-no-
Mae was the CUTEST lady-bug.
Josh didn't get to dress up cause he worked late.
We're all moved into my moms house
and it's not that bad :)
luckily our room is pretty big so it's not too cramped!
Maeby turns one tomorrow!
I can't believe she's that big already!
*side note*
A year ago today, I was prego and SO done...
I think that is all for now.
And like a fat kid playing dodge ball, I'M OUT!
PEACE.

Happy 22
To celebrate we window shopped at the mall.
It's true! I'm the LUCKIEST woman ever! Joshua found this deal like two months ago (and what a fabulous deal it was!) and snagged it! It pays for air fair and hotel stay and some come with shows! There are six choices and I get to choose four of them! I'm thinking we're going to go with the four in the picture:) Now all we have to do is wait for a good weekend...well...we have to wait for Josh to work up sick time and time off. And then we get to go! My Joshua is amazing!
So after that we went and dropped the Maeby-baby at her grandmas house. Then we went to the mall and got to (ironically) window shop, and then we went to a movie:) I already saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, but Josh hadn't seen it so we went and saw it! In 3D none the less! It was really fun! Then we got to go to dinner at Pams house:) and....Josh got sick. So we didn't stay for very long. But it was good food:)
Then on my birthday Josh came home from his meeting with PIZZA and a ROB!!!! And then my KRISTY and WHITNEY (and her wee one) came later!!! My Joshua surprised me!!! It was so great! I love seeing my friends! And then friends with pizza is just AMAZING!!!

To Move or not to...wait....Nope, Defiately moving.
I felt like blogging but I couldn't decide what and the flip of the coin it to inform everyone of what they already know...*eh-hem*
Thats right! The Welch family is leaving stinky old ogden!!! Don't get me wrong. Ogden is not as bad as everyone says it is. I just don't like it. It's to far away. We're very very excited about the move!
The Story :
Josh has been trying to get a transfer closer to West Valley for a while now and then outa nowhere a position opened up in Bountiful, not super close, but he jumped on it like a fat kid on a cup cake! Took about a week but then we found out Josh got it! Same hours same schedule, but the commision should be more (I hate commision). And so far Josh is liking it way much! Probably just because he doens't have to deal with his old managers any more...but he still likes it. Ware house is father away, but because the job and warehouse are farther away Josh gets a company car that just happens to be...*looks around*...*checks again*.... A PRIUS!!! Very much excitement on Josh's part there.
So the curant plan is as follows :
Step one : Get Josh a transfer. (CHECK)
Step two : Pack up the house.
Step three : Move in with Mommy and Papi until house sells.
Step four : House sells.
Step five : Look for (probabaly) a nice trailer.
Step six : MOVE OUT OF MOMMY's HOUSE!
And thus is our plan:). We like our plan and we're REALLY hoping it works for us. We're planning on moving out of the house the monday after Halloween. I can't wait to leave Ogden!
List of Things I Will Miss :
1 : My house :(
2 : The closeness of the mall.
3 : A grand total of 3 people.
And thus is our plan as it stands! I thank you again for all your listening ears! Luv Mush!

Grease 2
Grease 2? More like Grease POO!!!
I told Josh I was going to do this so *neener-neener-neener*
So the background : Joshua and I have signed up for blockbuster rental thing, kinda like netfilx. And Josh decided since I hadn't seen Grease two, that we would rent it because it's super easy now:) So last night we watched it.
It was CRAP.
So to start my issues with this movie I didn't believe Michelle Pfeiffers charactor at all! She suppose to be this rebel/not into anything/cool chick, and she's suppose to be singing all these REALLY goofy songs. To see her sing those songs is just silly.
I love musicals just as much as the next person but my goodness! Half of the songs in this movie had NO RELEVENCE to the movie! None what-so-ever! Here's a list of some of the songs in the movie :
Back to School Again (rediculously choriagraphed)
Cool Rider (One of the two things in the movie that wasn't rediculous)
Girl for All Seasons (Pretty sure this is a real song but it's SILLY!)
Do If for Our Country (REEALLY!?!)
Who's That Guy? (didn't believe anyone singing this song)
Prowlin' (They were aloud to sing this song in the TALENT SHOW?!?)
Reproduction (I say agian : REALLY!?!?!)
Charades (sung in his head...it was really weird...)
Turn Back the Hands of Time (she has a breakdown in the talent show with this song and wins??)
Rock-A-Hula-Luau (I was embarassed to see them sing this...)
We'll Be Together (a SAAAAAAD atempt at remaking the "We'll Be Together" in Grease)
Really!?! I could not believe half these songs! "reproduction" Really???
The exeption to this movie is the super sexy exchange student Maxwell Caulfield. Smart and handsome and in the end is half shirtless AND riding a motorcycle:) Go Team Go! The only other exeption is I enjoyed the song "Cool Rider" .
So overall it was not worth the hour 114 minutes that I spent watching it and trying to restle the baby so I could watch it.
Actors :
Michelle Pfeiffer
Maxwell Caulfield
Rating :
PG
My Rating :
D

I think they hate me
An Angry Blog
disclamer : I'm going to try not to use names, so that people won't hate me for venting about others. But I doubt that it'll matter much because I doubt they care enough to read my blog. But I feel that if I don't vent somewhere I'm going to explode and little bits of Jessica will fall from the sky. As another thought maybe if they do by some randomness read this they might get that my feel goods are kind of being hurt. End disclaimer.
I hate that they do this to us!!! I realize that we are the only ones in this particular "group" that try to always go to church and be good little mormon people (this is not me saying this "group" should be more like us, I just want them to ACCEPT IT) but just because we are this way doesn't mean that we don't want to be a part of "the childs" life! We want to be there for "specifice celebrations" but if they keep having them at a water park or at chucky cheese or at McDonalds on SUNDAY : WE WON'T COME. I don't see why we can't decide to do it on a different day of the week, since for one : it's summer some people in this "group" might not work during the summer, and for two some other people in this "group" might have days off that just happen to be the same days off as Josh's that would be GREAT for doing "specific celebrations". We want to be able to come to these "specail celebrations" and the like but I dont' see why the "group" can't make it a little bit eisier for us to come.
We don't have "meals" together because we always feel like if we ask to go over we're imposing and it just makes things hard on the "group". But then RARELY do they invite us over for "meals". And then every so often we get coments from people in the "group" that we always have dinner with a different "group" and they make it sound like we're being mean about it. The reason we go to the second "group" for meals is because they don't make us feel like they have to go out of their way for it and THEY INVITE US.
And I think as my last thought I will consetrate on how I feel like the "group" doesn't like me very much. The "group" always talks to Josh about everything, never me. They have a (hmm...how to put it...) "way of comunicating" with a larger portion of the "group" and they always act like we NEVER check the "way of comunicating" and it's a sin, and it ends up being my fault because I should be the one to check on it. The "group" ends up making me feel - by way of comments, or what-have-you - like I'm incompetent. Like just because I grew up "sheltered" or not in the "group" I know nothing. The "group" debates on a regular basis, and if I try to make a comment I'm either wrong, the "group" interupts, or I don't know what I'm talking about. I never feel excepted. I'm just the appendage that one day appeared at Josh's side.
Side note : We got cute pictures taken:) Here's one. And have a nice day.

Walk Tall Your a Daughter
Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God,

Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God,
This life on earth we knew would not be easy.

JoSh'S BiRtHdAy!!!
And of course we women had fun too! We watched them become so very intent about their gaming! We also had fun deciding that their character names were their Stripper names (haha). My beloved Joshua was 'MuStArD', Kyle was 'CuStArD', Rob was 'NaPpY', and sweet Aaron came in last as (teehee) 'LuCkY'. (Robbie [not to be confused with Rob] did get to come and play but was not there for the stripper name giving)
