Once Upon a Time I was a Princess :)
If you don't wanna listen to me toot my own horn right now, then just close the window.
Go on.
Do it.
Okay.
Have I gotten rid of everyone who doesn't wanna listen?
Now back to the story.
As many of you may know and many of you may not, there once was a company called...

Before she knew it, she had her first party and fell in LOVE with her new dream job.
What started as just a small idea, turned into a HUGE venture.
Jessica started to realize the need for fun children's entertainment in the DFW area and she maximized her business to fit the needs of her big city.
Slowly but surely the word about Jessica's Princess Parties spread and before she knew it she was the top children's princess entertainer in the entire metroplex.
She worked her butt off to make a flawless name and reputation for herself.
Weekend after weekend she would put on her different identities and be off to make many dreams come true. All while her law school husband stayed at home to watch the kids.



No matter the age.
No matter if there were boys.
The kids would hang on Jessica's every word and follow her lead as they pranced around the room dancing, going on treasure hunts, playing games, face painting and making balloon animals.

Dallas Maverick Basketball players, News Cast members, Colorado Rockies Baseball Players, and even Dallas Cowboy Football Players would call on Jessica for their little girls' birthday parties.

As big as some of her clients were, no princess was more or less important. She loved them all and they held a special place in her heart.

As big as some of her clients were, no princess was more or less important. She loved them all and they held a special place in her heart.
She then knew that her talents could be put to even better use.
So she contacted the local children's hospital and offered her voluntary services there to visit sick children each month in addition to her weekend parties. It was perfect. Every month she would look forward to making sad children happy again.

The Marines were calling and it was time to let go of the dream she had built all on her own.
Jessica sold her business to one of her princess helpers who has taken over the business but kept the "Jessica" name which means more to Jessica than anything.
Nothing will ever replace...
Those hugs.
Those tears of joy.
Those letters.
Those smiles.
Those happy mothers.
Even though most of the physical evidence is gone except for the original Cinderella dress that still hangs in Jessica's closet, some pictures and a few letters, the memories will remain for eternity.
Sometimes,
when no one is looking
and Jessica needs a pick me up for whatever reason
she sneaks away to her closet
and opens up her special box of Princess stuff
just to make her smile
and it never fails
it always brings a tear to her eye :)

You truely are such a remarkable person! Not to mention COMPLETLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! And dang girl....look at those abs as Princess Jasmine! OoooWwwwww!!!!
You forgot to add that you also donated a freaking butt load of toys to the Childrens Hospital for Christmas and handed them out one year!!!!

Sometimes Mommy's need to remember:)
That's my little business girl who did this. She is so smart even if she didn't go to college. I am still proud of you. Love Dad
You're amazing. I'm so proud that you're my friend. I can't imagine how heartwrenching it must have been to have had to sell something you worked so hard to grow and make into such a great success.
So sad.
Love you as all princesses. Especially Jasmine. You look HOTTTTTT!!! :)
You are still my favorite Princess and once you finally quit reproducing like a bunny we are going to create THE most FABULOUS Snow White ever, it will make the dress I made for me look sad. Thanks for letting me be part of the magic.
What a super cool job! And how awesome that you built it up from the ground up to make it into something so incredible. Loved this post. Great flashback. :)
This is the sweetest story ever. You amaze me... I never knew you did this. You are AMazing!! And not to mention F-ING HOT!

No wonder the boys were following you around! You look freakin' hot! I know exactly why you put these pictures up.... you just wanted to remind us all that you are gorgeous and skinny. Don't worry, once you have those babies... you'll be skinny again :-)

That is cool that you did this for people, especially going to the hospital. And if only those little girls and moms knew what you went through to get abs like that.

This was such an amazing (and impressive) thing you did, Jessica! You were a GORGEOUS princess, and I COMPLETELY HATE YOU for having thos abs after TWO KIDS. Ugh.
