Birthday Girl and a Linky

This beautiful girl turned 22 today! Jessica is our oldest daughter. She’s smart, athletic, and kind. She has multiple interests, but I think her kind heart is her biggest strength. She’s good with people, including young kids and the elderly. She’s truly a blessing to others. This year has been tough on her with having to do her studies from home while South Africa is on lockdown.
