Jenna

For those of you that know Jenna well, you know that she loves to have fun, loves to be with friends, and is very outgoing...but when you get right down to it...she is a Mama's girl! She just loves to be at home with me. She really doesn't like to sleep over at friends houses and I have made a couple late night runs to pick her up b/c she just can't make it the whole night. (But, before you think I spoil her too much the last time she tried this I made her suck it up and told her I wasn't coming to get her!) In fact, more often than she should she will sleep on the floor of our bedroom, sometimes just on the floor, sometimes she'll bring the couch cushions in and make herself a little bed. Well yesterday after church we went to visit my grandma in the nursing home. She is 93. On our way down the hall to her room, I said to the girls. "Well, girls one of these days you will all be coming to visit ME in the nursing home!!!" Jenna piped up!..."Mom, I'll be sleeping on your floor at the end of your bed!!!" It kind of brought tears to my eyes, but was also very funny! This is the girl who when she was younger was all worried because she wanted to live close to me when she grew up and got married. I'm thinking, ok, that'd be great, next town over or maybe across town, or even a couple hours away. Noooooo....she got all upset and said, "but mom, what if there is someone living in the house right next door to you?!?!"
