Missing you.....

Jako,

My big brother, and favorite brother.

Can I just tell you how proud I am of you?

23 yrs old and living in China!

Living the dream I tell ya!

I have a few things to tell you about Mr. Jake.

He is one of the funniest, caring, loving, give the shirt off his back,

loyal person I know.

I know that I can always count on my Big brother,

and he will never judge me.

Thanks jake for being such a perfect brother

to me, and I am sorry if I have not

shown it enough in the past, but know that

I wouldn't change a dang thing about you

not a single thing.

your the perfect brother for me.

Jake is a guy that is loved by all,

I honestly don't know anyone that doesn't love the kid.

I wish I had so many of his great qualities,

and this is one of them.

and hey ladies...he's single;)

Jake, you are so ambitious and I know that you are going to be,

the greatest husband and father

one day.

the girl that marries you is one lucky girl;)

I am sure you are over in China touching so many life's,

just by being

the one and only

Jacob Griggs.

Now that I am emotional, lets continue on to my next subject

my sweet lil madeline

(photography of is copyrighted property of

Mrs. Jessica Edmunds:)

I am so proud of her and the sweet girl that she is becoming

and her example and friendship to everyone she knows!

She is beautiful outside (that is a understatement actually) as well

as on the inside. Thanks madi for being so great. YOu are loved by so many,

and especially by your big sista.

About a month ago,

I recieved a text message from one of my girlfriends

that coaches cheer at our old high school (go beetdiggers!)

that madi attends now.

My cute girlfriend wanted to let me know that

while at a football game her cheergirls pointed to a girl in the

stands and said

"that girl is the prettiest girl in school and is nice to everyone."

they were referring to my lil madi

wow make my heart melt.

(thanks cal for checking up on my lil one for me:))

I love you both so much,

and miss you so now that I live far away.

but know I think and worry about you always!

I am so blessed to have siblings that

love me so much

and that are great examples to me

thanks for being you

love always,
