Happy Birthday Kenny (today) & Jennifer (the 27th) !

Jennifer and Kenny are very special to me. I have known them almost 8 years now. Jennifer and I met first at ACU. We were acquaintances up until we took a class called P.E. for Elementary Teachers. One day as I was sitting several rows away from her, I heard her say she worked at a camp. The next thing I heard was "It's a Presbyterian camp." Because ACU is affiliated with the Church of Christ, most of the students attended Church of Christ camps. Imagine my surprise when I found out Jennifer was Presbyterian also. I quickly asked her if she was talking about Prairie Valley and Gilmont, two camps that I attended as a child. At that point, I was a sophomore and unsure of what I was going to do during the summer. Jennifer told me that she was the Assistant Director and there were still positions available for counselors. Within a day, I received an application from her and sent it off. In the meantime, Jennifer introduced me to Kenny, a wonderful man, who quickly became a great friend as well. To make a long story short, I was offered the job and had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I worked at camp for 4 years with Jennifer and 3 with Kenny.

I have come to love Jennifer and Kenny like they were family. I have been with them through their engagement, marriage, the birth of their son, and now the excitement of expecting their daughter in August. Kenny is in Princeton Seminary and only has 1 year left. I can't wait for them to move back to Texas!

Happy Birthday! I love you guys!!
