Making Me Feel That Much Older



Today is Jen's 30th Birthday!

Jen is:
hilarious, especially when she's tired
a tireless mother
a supportive wife
the most positive person I know
one heck of an aunt
a fantastic dancer
a great cook
crafter galore
spiritual giant
always happy
a wonderful friend
and has been so amazing to me and my family since they moved here.

She has taught me:
that a positive outlook will carry you anywhere
that every problem can be solved by blaring "Forever" and dancing around the kitchen
that family is meant to help one another
that it's never necessary to keep score
that distant sister-in-laws can be thick as thieves given the time.




I adore you Jen.
Thanks for being a rock star in my life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday Jen! I love ya and am so glad that you are living so close!

Something I love about Jen is that she is a hugger. I'm not always super comfortable giving hugs to others, but with Jen, not only is it easy, but I love it! She just makes me smile when I'm around her.
