it's jenn's birthday!

happy birthday to my sweet jenn! i love you and hope you are having a wonderful birthday!

jenn and i met in buffalo, but she has since deserted me. we originally met here while her husband was doing his orthodontic residency. i tried all i could within my measly power to get them to stay here, but to no avail. i guess they wanted to be done with school. whatever.

anyway, they have the most darling children. jenn and i have long been in the planning stages of a wedding for afton and her son, josh. we even have some preliminary engagement photos. every picture we take of them together, we think how cute it will be on the wedding dvd! it's really quite sad the lengths we would go to to ensure future vacations together!

jenn is a counselor/therapist, although not currently practicing, (except for our weekly-monthly phone conversations). she is an amazing listener and has quite wonderful advice. she always thinks through things very well, which is a different concept for me.

another fun thing is that jenn and i were both pregnant at the same time with our second children, both girls. they are about one month apart. here's the difference...jenn looked like she'd been at the spa for a week, the day after giving birth. i looked like i'd been hit by a truck!

jenn is a runner and totally inspired my newfound love for running. she is really an amazing person and i just love her so much. she is so loyal and honest and tactful and kind. also, she makes some amazing brazilian beans and rice! (her mom is brazilian)

so, happy birthday to you friend! i love you!!!!
