Happy Birthday Harriet ( Jenny)

Happy Birthday Jen!

I have been blessed with the best sister in the world! I know everyone is biased but she is my world!

We know everything about each other! We have ESPN ( esp)! I love how I can just say 2 words and she finishes my sentences!

This song sums us up!

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
Gave me you

OLIVIA!
