My SIL - Jenn

I have a sister-in-law named Jennifer. I love her. She is married to my brother, Anthony. They were married on May 26, 2007.
Jenn is one special woman and the perfect wife for my brother. She is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. She has this way about her that is comforting... she's always made me feel safe. Jenn has the ability to challenge me without making me feel criticized. She is always sensitive and encouraging.

Jenn is absolutely beautiful. One of the most beautiful women in the world! She is generous, caring and more than helpful. She puts me to shame when we're at my mama's house because she's always the first to get up and get things done (dishes, cleaning up, serving... anything).
 
I admire so many things about Jenn. She makes me want to be a better wife, a better woman, and a better friend. I have learned so much from her and I am so grateful that she is a part of my family.


And you wanna know my absolute favorite thing about Jenn... aside from the fact that her middle name is Ashley?

She's having a baby.

You heard me.

A baby.

I can hardly believe it. I've been pinching myself since I found out. Pinching myself and crying. I am so excited! I could not be happier for them!

This is probably the most wonderful news I could imagine sharing with anybody because I think it is just perfect. Absolutely perfect. Anthony will be 36 years old when the little one makes his/her appearance... he's been waiting for this for a long time. He looked so proud when he told me... so proud and so excited.

A new baby.

I.

Can't.

Wait.

HI Ashley!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! All my kiddies say hello and Ethan still remembers calling you Ajery (sp?). Remember that? Anyways...

Those are such beautiful words you said about Jenn! She definitely is a blessing! And we are sooooo excited for the great news about them having a baby! Can you pass on their email address? I did have it, but lost it!
