Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour. My name is Jamie Ivey and I'm your host every week.

And you listen to the happy hour podcast with Jamie Ivey and this is episode number 38 with my friend Jessica Thompson.

Now Jessica's been on the show before and I absolutely am a huge fan of hers. She cracks me up first of all and I adore her writing.

She has a new book out called Everyday Grace which I recently finished and highly recommend. I'll put links for that in the show notes over at jameyiv.com.

Jessica lives in Southern California. She's an author and a speaker and a mom and three kids. It's just a great gal. I want to be friends with her in real life.

I mean we are friends in real life. I want to sit at the dinner table with her in real life and hang out. I want to say thanks to Kimmelie Kendrick.

She sent me a message on Twitter which you want to find me at jamey underscore ivy and she said recently discovered your podcast and then listened to several episodes really enjoying them.

Know that people are blessed. Kimmelie thank you so much and first of all your name is so cool. Kimmelie I love it. Thanks for listening guys.

Hello.

Hi.

Hey. How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

I'm good. I love that you couldn't find your phone because it makes me feel like normal.

Oh my gosh. What's so funny? Like here's the moral of the story.

I was watching the show Nashville and got a little...

Get a little too into it.

Oh yes. And then lost track of time.

I was like oh I can fit in one more episode which makes you know that I've already watched one.
