The Garrett Family

A little about me.......

1. My real name is Evelyn Jeanette, I just go by Jenne. I used to not like it, but I have come to appreciate it over the years. I am named after both my grandmothers.

2. I have been married 10 ½ years to my high school sweetheart. I only tried on one wedding dress. I knew it was the right one.

3. I used to collect Cherished Teddies. I have about 250 of them. I stopped collecting because I ran out of room for them.

4. I don’t like my food touching, even spaghetti and noodles.

5. I lost touch with some old friends, and even though we talk periodically, I know it will never be the same.

6. I miss my papa terribly.

7. I love to fish. I don't mind touching fish or taking them off the hook. I love fishing at the bay. I think reeling in a fish for over an hour is exhilarating. Yes, I do have my own fishing rod and it is purple. I can also drive the trailer with the boat on it.

8. I have made some stupid decisions in my life, but think I turned out OK.

9. I have become addicted to the gym.

10. I am afraid of dying and leaving my family. I am also afraid of Travis dying and leaving me.

11. I can tie a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue.

12. I think my kids are the most beautiful kids in the world.

13. I know that God works in mysterious ways. I have found that hearts really can break. I also know that Heaven needs babies too.

14. I am very tight with money, and hate to charge things, but find myself doing it periodically.

15. I am scared that when my kids grow up I won’t be able to shield them from bad things.

16. I am proud I am a mom that volunteers at my kids school, (sometimes I would call it more work than volunteering, but love it none the less)!!

17. I always say what is on my mind. Sometimes I regret it later.

18. I worry about the health of my parents and can’t imagine life without them in it.

19. I talk to my animals as if they were human.

20. I love Disney World and all the magic that comes along with it. I wish I could go there every year. I turn into a child and giggle all day. I also cry at the fireworks.

21. Mickey Mouse and I have the same birthday. Really!

22. I was born at Homestead Air Force Base.

23. I think everyone should “Pay It Forward”.

24. I think my grandma is the most beautiful person inside and out!

25. I am proud of my life and who I have become. I am proud of the way I am raising my kids. I am proud of the relationship that my husband and I have. Becoming a wife and mother has made me a better person.
