Happy Birthday Jodi

Happy Happy Birthday Jodi dear, happy days will come to you from me; if I had one wish then it would be, for happiness to be with you all year.

So Jodi is 26 years old today. She was born in Prove on a very cold and freezing night. Dad & I couldn’t see out the windows because we couldn’t even get them to defrost, so we drove to the hospital very slow with the windows down and just watched out the sides at the road. She was born without complications one day early.

For many many years Jodi was always considered the Peace Maker of the family, she hated if any one was ever fighting or sad, but as she got older she joined in more and more so that now we are just one big HAPPY family.

She has always loved little kids. Even as a baby herself, she would smother other babies and moms would have to ask me to try and keep her away from their kids. As a 2 ½ yr old she got lost. We thought she was at the neighbors playing with Mel and the other kids but the neighbor said she hadn’t seen her, as panic set in and everyone was looking, finally the same neighbor called us all in and had found her asleep in her baby’s crib, with the baby. She loves her little cousins so much and they do her too. (She loves the big ones too).

She is the one who can get grandpa Hardcastle to smile and joke the most and I guess he is even buying her a car. (A match box car)

She is fashion conscious to the point of annoying, but always looks great. She can save a penny even if it doesn’t want saving. She reads her scriptures every night without fail, and she has had her heart broken a few too many times and has done the same, too many to count. She is an exercise fanatic and cries way too easy at movies. She loves her sister and brothers and is always looking out for their best interest, and is easily anode by us all. She wants to marry someone like her dad, and cleans better than her mom. She is a friend to many and would like that relationship to change and advance with some.

She reminds me frequently that she has been told to “Be Patient” by a very important person, so that is what she is trying to do with her life. She is moving forward and planning lots of exciting things for herself. We Love her so much and wish her a very Happy Birthday.
