What a Woman!



Happy Birthday to my smokin' hot wife, friend and sweetheart. Jesika is a tremendous blessing in all of our lives...but I feel especially blessed to have her as my eternal companion and the mother of my children! An experience she had at the pool the other day sums up how I feel on a daily basis. I don't recall the specifics of the story as Jesika related it to me, but basically it went something like this. After an hour or so at the pool, a complete stranger approached Jesika and struck up a conversation. She was a woman from St. Petersburg, Russia. She told Jesika that she had to talk to her because she was just so bright...like a light in the midst of a sea of people. That is how I feel every single day! No matter what challenges or frustrations I have in a day...at the end I come home to radiant light! Jesika reflects our Savior's love and His light as much as anyone I have ever known! What a blessing for Gabe and Bree to have that constant influence in their lives! What a blessing for me to have her by my side through life's ups and downs...and even eternally! What a blessing for all of us to have her as a friend, sister, daughter, mother or wife! May we all try to personify Jesus Christ more like our beloved Jesika Jean!!!



Happy Birthday, Jesika! I love you!

Happy birthday Jesika! That definitely wouldn't be the first time someone has confronted you because of the light in your eyes and sincerity of your beautiful smile and personality. Even from a distance, you continue to be such an amazing example to me. I loved the Bree's pea story...especially when she popped it straight into her mouth after it finally came out. Hilarious! Love ya!

Happy Belated Birthday Jesika! I second the comments about your 'brightness'! I remember in high school once one of the seminary teachers told me that I reminded him of Jesika Henderson... just about the greatest complement I could ever recieve! You are wonderful.
