The oldest...Jen

Well, we've made it to the end of the siblings! They are all so special and unique and bring something important to the mix.

I've saved the best and oldest for last! Ha. Jennifer is 6 years older than me so by the time I was 10 she was driving! I had the coolest sister around. She would drive me and my friends to the beach or anywhere. She had makeup and cool clothes and I often snuck into her room and used all her stuff to her dismay. She was a wonderful older sister, and I really loved the times that I got to go stay with her when she was in college at A&M.

She is now the mother to 3 boys! She definitely has her hands full. I look up to her as a mother in many ways and I am definitely starting to see a lot of my mother in her which is a good thing! She has created a very loving, fun, and homey place for her kids to be. Just like our house growing up, hers seems to be the fun house in the neighborhood. She's always baking for them and doing fun crafts and activities. I am somewhat eager to have the loudness and craziness in my own home. I think it's fun! Many times in my own house I have to turn on the tv or the radio just for the noise because it's just too quiet! Lexie loves to be at Jen's house which makes me feel so good. Why wouldn't she...it's full of boys and boyish things to do! Although she has her hands full she is ALWAYS offering to help. She has watched Lexie on many occasions for me, made dips or desserts for my parties and seems to always be helping someone. Even when she is stressed or busy she's willing to help. I am so blessed to have her so close by to help and even just to visit with. I must admit we don't hang out as much as we should mostly because our kids are in such different stages.

She is also a wonderful friend to me and I always look forward to chatting with her. She often has great advice to give and is a great listening ear. We are all so blessed to have such a great big sis. I know I have learned a lot from her and always count on her to know the answers to things as she is much wiser and more experienced than myself! Love you!
