I would like “quite a dancer” . Julie Tucker
"Sweet" Jenny is the dessert of the Hills family.
The "REAL" deal! Michelle McMahon
Can I please have family focused? Thanks! XO- Mary Carol Kraus
Listener!!! Love, Sarah Turner
I find it very difficult to pick one! So, I pick three. One on the list (caring) and two not on the list (strong and outspoken). Fantastic idea, Eric! Love, Susie
loyal
easy laugh
and put Steve down for Competitive:)
I will take beautiful and add in stylish
I would like Emotional please! Katie Chowdhary
Thoughtful
-Emps
I will take "fun" but only since "crazy" wasn't on the list :). Cute idea! -- Amanda Bublick
Such a sweet idea - we will choose "friendly"! Mark & Lindsay Miller
What an awesome way to celebrate Jenny! I would like to choose musical for my adjective.
Hugs to all,
Connie Kern
Empathetic - Jenny is one of the most empathetic people I have ever known. She feel peoples challenges and struggles and supports them in whatever way they need. You rock sister!
I'll take "Ya Mon!"
As in - Jenny fits in with the SJU/College crew as if she were a classmate. Ya Mon! No problem Mon!
I do have a picture to back this up.
May I please have Goofy? I have a few pics in the vault to back this up!
This one's a no brainer... I would like to own "morals," even if it isn't exactly an adjective. And sadly, "morale" simply won't do. :)
I am choosing tenacious, committed and would also like to add guiding.
Considering this is Jenny's birthday, there's a shocking lack of "J" adjectives on this list! Don't worry; this is a job for the Jakester...
Jenny is: JOVIAL, JAZZY, JOYFUL, JUBILANT, (sometimes) JUVENILE....
but especially: JOCULAR! Defined as: "given to jesting : habitually jolly or jocund" by Merriam-Webster. Aunt Jenny is witty, sharp, and always willing to give and take a joke. Being with her is always a laughing matter, whether she's the one cracking the jokes, or cracking up at them (not mutually exclusive). I can't keep from smiling and laughing often when she's around, and that makes every interaction a fun time.
From one J to another...
Love you lots, Aunt Jenny!
Insightful, smiley, and oh-so witty :) Love ya Jen!!
Devoted to all of her family and friends around her!! Love you Aunt Jen!
