… or at least that’s what I was told just over 21 years ago, when little baby Jessica was born. Where on earth did those 21 years go!
Jess celebrated her 21st with a “gathering” … (“It’s not a party, I don’t want a party, just a get-together of family and friends”) … at home on 2 January. I guess around 60 of us were there to help her celebrate. Unfortunately I didn’t get many photos of the birthday girl herself, she seemed to move from group to group way too quick. I also missed the obligatory cake cutting photo as I was tasked with making the speech.
I tried to make the point that I think the most amazing thing about Jess is her courage to go out and explore the world, without losing touch with the importance of her family and friends. Not many kids are able to spend so much time overseas studying and then return and live in a small country town like Murray Bridge, and yet this was Jess’s preference. Good on her for following her heart I say!
So, Happy (belated) Birthday Jess!
(PS: Don’t be too offended that I posted about Fruchoc Icecreams before your birthday … Fruchocs and icecream are both very important things in life!)
(PPS: Sorry I mentioned the “fish” thing!)
