Well hello! Jen here and it’s my turn for an introduction.

I guess some might consider me a girl of contradictions, but here a few facts about me just so you can judge for yourself.

My Favorite singer: Is and always will be Britney Spears; there’s just no changing my mind about that.

These are my cupcakes at a wedding

I like to make cupcakes but hate to eat them. (note: this is how I make friends)

I love Demolition Derby’s

My hobby is archery (Robin Hood Style)

My iPod has about 2GB of Music and 14GB’s of Audio Books

I would love to travel the world, but right now I need to be at home so reading and writing are my escape.

I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) and it is central to everything I do. From 2007 to 2009 I served in the California, Carlsbad Mission, it was a fantastic experience and I met the most amazing people.  

Okay, and now for the general stuff.

Jari was my 1st nephew,
born just 3 months after me

I'm the youngest of 7 kids but I prefer to call myself an only child, as the youngest before me was seventeen when I was born. That makes me the aunt of somewhere around 20 nieces and nephews (And one great little niece or nephew on the way!) SO...I have a crazy, busy life, with lots of family and friends.

After High School, I moved away from home for College (Angie and Ruth were my roommates!) and I’ll always say that I was raised in PG but grew up at Snow College. I will be the first to tell you that the experience  was probably the best thing for me. I loved my two years at school and if I could go back, I would in a heartbeat.

Buddies. :) 

A year at UVSC put me at age twenty-one and I then left for my mission to California. I was defiantly blessed on my mission, but to put that into perspective let me tell you why. A counselor at UVSC told me once, “You are so introverted, I’m surprised you can function in society.” Well, function I did, and I was blessed to be able to do everything that was asked of me.

Best Friends!

I finished up school and graduated from UVU, I haven’t decided what I’m moving onto next, so for now, I live at home and help out where I can. I love to write, shoot my bow, and spend time with friends and family.
