Happy Birthday Jodi!!! I hope you have the best day...you deserve it!
Good for you Brandon...I love the mushy stuff.
Wow. I just realized I'm married to the SECOND most romantic man around.
(also, 36 is the number of times daily I had to listen to wonderful things about you when you began dating)
I'm still waiting to see if it's infatuation or the real thing with you two!
Happy Birthday, Jod! I love those brown eyes. What a great post. Have a great day! --becky
Jodi, we love you! Happy happy birthday! Hope that you have an awesome day and are surrounded by love and family. We also hope that you won't get a cold or a near perforation of the eardrum, as that would be no fun on a birthday, anyone's birthday! We can't wait to see you again. Love and best wishes from Boston!--Tim
Jodi you are so pretty and I love that we're friends! and Brandon so sweet.
I am tempted to write that you two are so shmoopy, but instead I will wish a heart-felt HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jodi. And also wish you 36 more years. I hope that we look back at these first blog days with fondness when we are all in our 70's.
We love you guys.
Matt & Jenny + two more boys who love Jodi (only. thanks to your fireworks suggestion Bo)
