MIA?

I realize that the Magnolias have been missing in action for much too long! I got married, Katelyn started law school, and Karson is on her way to becoming a yoga instructor!

New post coming very soon. We missed y'all.

Love,
Jessica

On community and friendship and the difference between.

I've felt so disconnected from this space and writing here. I think it's because I've had something in my drafts since November, and I know I have to write it out. I procrastinate hard things. Especially delicate, true-to-my-heart things. Sigh. It's not comfortable or sparkly or exciting. BUT. It is important, and now is the time. I don't know how to start this, honestly. Here's hoping I'm able to communicate my heart and not just word vomit ALL over this blog post. Read with grace. Let this be a conversation starter, even if it's just a conversation with yourself.  If you know me, I hope you know how much I love the people in my life. I adore them. (Like so much it hurts.) I've been spending time (11 months now) really thinking about community. What it looks like. What it means to me and in my life. For the first time, I've realized that friendship and community are not always the same thing. Try and follow my train of thought, if

Dear Jenny Han,

  Dear Belly, Dear Lara Jean, Dear Jenny Han, I don't know if you'll see this, but I have to write it nonetheless. In fact, I'm writing it whether Jenny ever sees it or not...a lot like Lara Jean writing those letters to a ll the boys...(See what I did there?) I just need to. This is my love letter to Jenny Han and the books she's penned for us and movies she's made. AND NOW...an Amazon series based on the greatest trilogy ever written!!!! When I'm a fan of something, I feel like I'm THE biggest fan of it, you know? These characters, these stories, your words - I'm a fan! I feel like they were some of the first fictional characters that I felt like I bonded with. I've shared your name and these books with so many friends through the years. I even took the Summer trilogy (all in one volume!) to give as my favorite things at a Favorite Things party! You should know that I'm an enneagram 6. The loyalist. TSITP will never not be my favorite. But wait

I'm Jessica. Y'all, I love the Infl uence Network . LOVE. I was pretty pumped up to join this link-up and get to know my other Influ en tial sisters! (Did you know that you have influence? You. Yes. Seriously. ) I have no shame in taking a trillion pictures of myself...and then posting them all to I nstagram (or Facebook, Twitter, etc...), which you are sure to know if you already follow me! Here's one photo I love:   This pict ure is from last Easter! I like it bec au se I feel like it captures me: happy, fun, and stuck in a tree!  ;) Three things you should know about me: 1. I love making n ew friends. Seriously. Let's be real, invest-in-each-other-and-love-each- other friends.   2. I daydream a lot. I have so many things I want to accomplish. Right now, I'm trying to dec ipher between what I want and what God has fo r me. I'm hoping the two things are the same. You know the feeling?   3. I feel like time is passing so qu ickly. I keep gett
