Hi I'm Jessie
I grew up in Houston, TX. I love to read, watch movies, and hike in the summer. I am a paralegal. I am a Mormon.
About Me
I'm the second of 4 kids, a newlywed, an aunt, a paralegal, and absolutely love spending time with my family. I am the first in my family to get a college degree. I graduated in Criminalistics and currently work for a litigation defense firm in Salt Lake City. I have to admit that I love my job, and it always keeps me on my toes. I am constantly looking for something new to learn and share, and I'm a bit of a nerd. I love being outside, and I'm slowly being introduced to the best Utah trails for summer hiking.
Why I am a Mormon
I was born into a Mormon family. I feel blessed to have been raised with principles and faith in teachings that have brought me strength and peace. I was raised with the answers to many of life's tough questions, and had a home filled with love and family. I remain a member of the Mormon church because of the feelings of peace and love that I feel as I follow the teachings of this gospel. I am newly married, and as I face the new adventure of raising a family of my own, I hope to give my own children the strength and peace, and loving home that I was blessed with.
How I live my faith
I was raised in the LDS faith and have always loved being involved in my church community. Participating in youth activities created some of the best and most long lasting memories. Some of the greatest friendships and relationships have come through participating in service through the church. I was a teenager in Houston when Tropical Storm Allison hit the gulf coast, and some of the neighborhoods in my area were severely flooded. I have never felt a stronger sense of family and of love for others than I did when my friends and I served our neighbors by pulling up flooded carpet and handing out sandwiches to people affected by the storm. I have felt love for and from others while serving and visiting others in my church community. Some of my strongest friendships have come from being served or giving service and I feel that this is one of the greatest ways I can share Heavenly Father's love with those around me. I continue to strive to follow Christ's example to serve others every day, whether through a small smile in passing, or visiting a friend or neighbor in need.
