Simply Marvelous Life. Jordan

My dearest roommate Jordan.
The first night I met her she was sitting at the kitchen table, our kitchen chairs were "squeaky".
A rumbling sound came from her chair and before anyone had time to even consider what the sound was she hastily gasped, "That was the chair!  I promise!"
Since we have been splendid friends!
Lets just say we were good for each other!  Jordan was the one that told me to think logically in crazy situations and I broke her in a little bit when it comes to personal space issues!  
Now that is a funny story- but for later!

Jordan is smart, competitive, smart, stubborn, talented, such a great friend, and did I mention smart?
I am excited to once again live at The Farm with this lovely lady!
Dear Jordan, you have a SIMPLY MARVELOUS LIFE!
Name:
Jordan Leigh Harman

Childhood Ambitions: 
Ok other than the fact that I am one of the most boring people known to mankind, I wanted to be a mom. Until I was in elementary school and my teacher told me that it wasn’t a real job, so I decided I was going to be a teacher, and well it stuck.

Wildest Dream: 
Ok something that I really would like to do is to travel, but not in your conventional way. A “special friend” and I would take several months (maybe even a year) and just take a duffle bag/ backpack fly to Europe and live there. We could go anywhere we wanted and really experience life in a different culture. No plans, just a map and ready for some adventure.

Current Reading: 
I have this really bad habit of reading more than one book at a time, so I am currently reading two books. The Hunger Games (actually I have now finished all of that series) and The Wednesday Letters; I just barely started both of them within the past week and so far they are pretty grand! Thank you to those friends who recommended them to me!

Soundtrack: 
The Beatles….oh those words put together just make me smile. Their music is seriously the music of my soul, although it can be a little weird at times, but then I guess it fits.

Retreat: 
The outdoors. Even just being outside (even when it isn’t exactly pleasant) is heaven to me. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the wilderness either, just a pretty view to make me grateful for this beautiful world we all live in. I can just relax, think, thank, and be myself!

First Job:
My first job was a babysitter when I was 12, but if that does not count than I was a Nanny for 3 wonderful children ages 5, 3, and 18 months when I was 15. I absolutely loved it and we had so much fun!

Last Purchase:
My last purchase was splitting Chinese Food in the lovely town of Burley, Id when I visited. There is nothing like good food and friends that you haven’t seen in a while.

Inspiration:
I get my inspiration from everywhere, but I would have to say that I receive most of my inspiration from my wonderful family, glorious friends, and the marvelous gospel that I am a member.

Proudest Moment:
My proudest moment thus far would have to be just recently I planned and coordinated my cousin’s wedding luncheon. It was thrown on me last second, and I was really stressed out about it. But I did it and it turned out really well. Then my other cousin got married a week later and everyone told me that I did a better job than they had. It made me feel really good because I am SUPER self-conscious about throwing parties or any type of big event! And I did this one spur of the moment and it was a total success!!

Biggest Challenge:
I think that my biggest challenge is that I expect perfection from myself. I have to be like Mary Poppins, “Practically perfect in every way.”

Hidden Talent: 
My nerdy hidden talent is that I can make balloon animals! I am still learning so I am pretty limited on what I can make but giraffes, dogs, poodles, flowers, and such.

Something you have yet to do:
Oh my goodness there are SO many things that I want to do in life that I have yet to do! I want to run a half-marathon (no I am not as crazy as Kelsie), go fishing, travel, ride a motorcycle, snow shoeing, snow mobiling, and ride the biggest fastest and tallest roller coaster. I also would really like to graduate and teach, get married and start a family; yeah I know a lot to work on haha. 

Writings (blog):
www.jabberingjo-16.blogspot.com: It is a work in progress…I only started it about 4 months ago, so it is extremely random and I am still trying to figure out what blogging is for me. So it is random bits of stuff that I experience, think, or whatever. I honestly have no idea haha. But, all the credit is due to Miss Kelsie Dawn because she is the one that got me to become a blogger.
