I saw this meme first over at Regina’s blog, then at Meredith’s, Ruth’s and Dawn’s… I hadn’t planned on doing it myself, till I was asked personally by Ruth in an email this morning. So, here you go!
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
I was going to be named Elizabeth, but right before I was born, my mom heard the name Jessica and liked it… My middle name is Jo, after my Grandmother Jo Ann. Although my mom’s name is Josephine, so it is sort of after her as well. I guess my parents decided they liked they middle name Jo, since my next 2 sisters middle names are Jo as well! Jen was born on the feast of St. Joseph, so her Jo is for him, and by the time they had Jamie, they had a trend going with the girls names, all starting with J and middle name of Jo, so she got it as well!

German-chokolatekake from Cold Stone. It is SO GOOD! It has all my favorite ingredients: Chocolate Ice Cream, Pecans, Toasted Coconut, Brownie, and Caramel.
