Jessica #22

Twenty-two years ago today, Jodi and Gary had their only child, Jessica.  She was always a fun, talented, sweet little girl… and she has grown into an even more beautiful young woman.

Our kids grew up together (she’s 4 weeks older than Kale).  They’ve spent countless hours together and there are so many memories!!  One of the things that always cracked me up about Jess is when she’d come to our house, within seconds she’d strip down to her little undies to play.  She also used to gallop around on all fours – she called that “playing Cheetah”.  When she was only about two years old, they discovered she had an eye for art… she could draw (really good) fish at two!  She is now an art education major in her senior year of college.  She’s also the apple of her Daddy’s eye and Jodi’s pride and joy.

We love you, too, Jessica!!  Happy 22nd Birthday!
