Going to the chapel...
One of the MANY things my mother has shown me is the importance of good friends. I would rather have a handful of great friends than 4,000 facebook friends! One of those people is Carol Jean and she gets married this Saturday!!!!
What started out as co-workers has blossomed (oh God how cliche) into one of the most cherished relationships I have. Carol has been the calm in so many of my storms (really jenn, you need to also take some creative writing classes!!) She was there when I got married, she was there when I had Miss O, and she deals quite well with my ADD mind! She is that friend that you call at 2a that doesn't necessarily tell you what you want to hear...instead what you need to hear. She has raised 2 INCREDIBLE daughters. One of which has been Miss O's only non-family sitter! I always say one of the greatest things about having a child at an older age is the opportunity to watch others in their parenting, Some people you think "Oh hell no I will NEVER do that" and others you see what a positive influence they have on their children...like Carol. Not long after Miss O was born ,her daughters spent the day off from school recreating Lady Gaga's crazy outfits. I thought "I want Miss O to have that sense of creativity and individuality". So whenever we are in the car and I have to blare Elton's "Bennie and the Jets" or Beastie Boys "Brass Monkey", I always think of these girls and thank God they are in our lives.
Carol Jean may you have an incredible day and I know you will make the most beautiful bride ever. Take the time to enjoy the moment as I can't think of a person more deserving. You are FIERCE, AMAZING, and MAGICAL :)
Love ya
Jenn and Miss O
