February 16th my youngest sibling Jennifer turned 22! I can hardly believe it, yet I am surprisingly letting her grow up- in my mind- because she's doing such a great job of it. She is a senior at Utah State, and we miss her all the time. Benson and I talk to her very often though. She has been the funnest, best little sis. She always wants to go shopping and lets me in on all the secrets in her life.
Just days before her birthday, I mentioned to Kimball that I thought it would be fun to go up to Logan and see her on her birthday. That night, I got a phonecall from my mom telling me that she just tore her ACL for the second time. What a bummer. She has been having so much fun playing coed volleyball, soccer, ping pong, and doing lots of other fun activities. From our family experience, I've seen what a set back this can be- (currently I am the only child in my family with uninjured knees- this is not a boast- but a hope they will stay that way). As soon as I heard about her knee, I decided that for sure I would go. My mom and Laura came too. We went to her place and had her open our presents. We went to the Pita Pit for lunch- I'd love one in SLC. Did a bit of shopping and went back to her place to sing to her and have some cake that we brought. It was a lot of fun to see her in her element, and despite her knee, her demeanor was cheerful and happy as usual. She is such an awesome aunt and sister. I- we- love her to death. Happy Birthday Jennifer!!
