Jen’s birthday was Friday.
Have I told you how much I adore her?
She is my best friend.
We’ve known each other since 7th grade, when our moms made us be friends.
It was a perfect match.
She played basketball. I danced.
She has great legs. I sing.
She is a beautiful redhead. I like to write letters.
She has a passion for the Peace Corp. I was a PolySci major.
She is very, very smart. I like to eat chocolate.
See? Told you.
{Jen holding Nate at the house I remember as my 2nd home…. her parents welcomed me in as one of theirs and they were STUCK with me! Hi, Nancy and Dave!! Love you, miss you!!}
I traveled up to DC to visit her beautiful family this last summer.
If you have a friend that you love…. that you adore… tell them. We all need to hear it and know that we are loved.
Jen… I am shouting it to the world. You are smart and kind and beautiful and warm and I would be a different person without you. I’m so glad you are in my life.
Wow Katie….thank you for your kind words. You are so generous (and forgiving)! Isn’t it amazing to remember that first summer we met and how much we’ve changed and grown and experienced…and you are still so amazing and kind and I am so thankful for you!! I miss you so much! Love you always, Jen
