#323 - BES

Growing up, Jeff was very close to his cousins in Lake Arthur.  Because of a large age difference between Jeff's uncle and Jeff's dad, a lot of Jeff's cousins were not much older than him.  Make sense?

Anyway, #323 is the daughter of one of Jeff's cousins.  When she was born, Jeff's cousin asked him to be the Paran.  He and I had just started dating at the time so I got to see this precious little girl grow up.  Just typing the word "girl" makes me laugh, because for a long time, she would pronounce it "g-u-rl" which always cracked us up.

I can honestly say that I don't know where the time has gone.  This little gurl is now a grown up, married mother of two.  We don't get to see them often enough, but the pictures that they send always make me smile.  I'm sure that she is a wonderful mother, and I know that Jeff's cousin is a doting grandmother.  In my mind however, she will always be remembered as this cute little flower-gurl who walked down the isle looking like a princess.
