14 on the 14th for Jenny's Birthday

My beautiful little sister turns 25 today.  Here are 14 facts/stories about Jenny.  I love you Jen, and am so glad you're my sister.



1.  When Jenny was younger she had two imaginary friends, Lottie and Lollie.  When she played restaurant she would call herself Monica P.
2.  When Jenny was in high school she broke her finger.  Playing soccer.
3.  Every year Jenny makes the thanksgiving turkey and always tries new things:  brining, injecting, creole flavor.  Every year we make fun of her techniques, but every year she blows us away at how good it turns out!
4.  Jenny used to sit on the armrest between the front two seats of our family's station wagon when riding in the car.  She said she got to sit there because she was the youngest, and called it the "perch"
5.  Jenny once caught two fish at the same time on one bass lure.
6. Jenny always tried to teach our collie Cookie tricks.  She had a promising career as a dog trainer, but chose Occupational Therapy instead. 
7.  Jenny once won her age division of the Slice of Life 5k in La Crescent.
8.  Jenny had some sinus problems as a kid and could pinch her nose together, breathe in, and it would stay like that.
9. Jenny took violin lessons for awhile. I don't actually remember this, but have seen pictures of her holding a violin.
10.   For Christmas a few years ago Jenny gave my brother a chicken-  he didn't get the chicken, it was donated to a village somewhere.  I think my dad might have gotten a goat.
11.  As a child Jenny used to jump from the side of the bathtub into the water. She called them swan dives.
12.  When at a restaurant, Jenny is the best orderer.  She gets things I would never think to order... and I'm usually jealous.
13.  Jenny was rear ended three times in a 2 week period, or something close to that.
14.  One time Jenny and I got tickets to a Miranda Lambert/ Blake Shelton concert.  It was random, but one of the best concerts, mostly because we were there together.


Jenny, you are a wonderful sister and a great aunt to K.  We love you so so so much and hope you have a wonderful birthday!!
