My Jensen Sisters

A while back I posted about how much I love my sisters and the wonderful qualities they all have. Well, I feel compelled to do the same thing about all my sisters-in-law on the Jensen side. They are amazing women and I feel blessed to have them in my life.

Wendy . . .
is incredibly talented. She's a women with skills, let me tell you. I'm always impressed with whatever her latest project is. She sews. She quilts. She cooks. She is very musical. She is an amazing teacher. She not only home-schooled her brilliant son for several years, but she is an incredible music teacher as well. She teaches private piano lessons. She is revolutionizing the children's music in her church. She is a great mom and so good with children (her own and others). And she can kick my trash in pretty much any game. (That is, if she can convince me to play in the first place.)

Ganine . . .
is so beautiful. She mothers 5 amazing boys, all of them full of energy and rambunctiousness. She managed to take care of these children while simultaneously going through a divorce, graduating from school, and getting her RN license. Brains and talent galore. Not only did she graduate and get her license, but I believe she has record-high GPA and test scores. (Of course, that is to be expected since she is a Jensen, after all.) Ganine is a great conversationalist. She has interesting things to say and is fun to be around.

Melissa . . .
is a kindred spirit. She is tender-hearted and kind. She is one of those people who always turns the conversation around and asks about you, rather than talking about herself the whole time. She is an amazing mother. She always impresses me with the love and patience she shows her four beautiful children. Melissa will do anything she can for you and serves continuously. She keeps a beautiful home and is your all-around domestic goddess. I want to be like her when I grow up.

Becky . . .
is gorgeous. I have to admit that I don't know Becky as well as the others since she and Andrew live far away and don't attend every Jensen gathering (another Walmart opening celebration, anyone?) But the few times I have met her I was very impressed. All the children LOVE her and flock to her. I think they're attracted not only by her beauty, but by her kindness and sense of fun. I had the motherly pleasure of watching my two year old daughter return to Becky over and over for help as she was playing with a watering can recently. Becky will be a great mom when that time comes for her. Something about Becky gives me the impression that we would be great friends, if only we knew each other better. I am sad that she'll likely never live closer so I'll have that opportunity. I feel like a little kid, shyly approaching and asking "Will you be my friend?" and wanting the cool girl to like me too.

Juli . . .
is a total crack-up. Not only is she very beautiful, but she's swanky and sassy too. She is fun to be around and is full of energy. She's always ready for a good time and is up for anything. She has a great sense of adventure. She also works like a dog. She just got her RN license (woohoo!) and is close to finishing her degree. She is the most playful auntie and loves her nieces and nephews. They respond in kind with great affection. She works hard and she plays hard. That's Juli to a T.

I am so grateful to have these sisters!
