Jen on Jen

What I love about Jen in no particular order:
- We both hail from the "Jennifer" era, and it's an awesome name :)
- She says things like "I can't sew" and "I'm no Martha Stewart" and then proceeds to make umpteen adorable hand sewn Christmas cards, maple leaf wreaths, mini individual bundt cakes to give away at Christmas, etc. etc.
- She throws awesome birthday parties for her kids and will offer to throw one for mine when I'm at least two weeks late and can't seem to get my act together.
- She is almost as cozy with the White Hen guys as I am. (By the way, great poem Lisa S.)
- She throws her dirty diapers outside for all to see. (By the way, another great poem Lisa S.)
- She says things like "that was the pre-twin Jen" when we all know she is just as amazing if not more so post-twin.
- She is an expert on and actually likes 15th and 16th century Italian religious paintings.
- She is an ardent BYU supporter.
- She has a great appreciation for BBC miniseries.
- My girls say they never get tired of her teaching or listening to her speak and also include her on their list of favorite people.
- She has super awesome kids. (Her husband is pretty awesome too).
- She regularly holds down at least two ward callings and handles them expertly.
- She manages to keep up on the details of my life and makes me feel good by asking about them.
- Her kids listen to NPR with her, but she also lets them play with toy weapons of various shapes and sizes.
- She's always willing to help out a friend in need.
Thanks for being a great friend Jen! You're an awesome 40!
