 Let me start off by saying... I have been truly blessed!

 

Brittani has waited many, many years on her prince charming and her perfect wedding day. After this weekend, I can honestly say she got just that. From all of her hard work, as well as help from family members over the last few months paid off. I don't believe it could have been more perfect. The entire day was beautiful.. from the hair, makeup, dresses, tux, flowers, and rings, to the ceremony that joined two families as one. Not only did I gain a brother-in-law that day, but I also gained another beautiful niece and two more nephews.

 

Britt- I am over the moon happy for you. You were the most gorgeous bride and the smile on your face exemplified just how much happiness Chris brings to your life.  As your little sister, I knew this day would come and you would have your happily ever after. It warms my heart to know that you as well as Bree and Bryson will be taken care of. They are so lucky to have you as their mama and to have a father figure like Chris in their life.

Chris- Thank you for loving my sister and giving her all the happiness that she is so deserving of. Thank you for taking such good care of the kids, putting up with our entire family, and being a big brother to me. I am thankful to have you as my brother in law.

Alex, Kaden, and Jesse- You three already mean so much to me. I couldn't be more excited to be y'alls' Boo Boo, too! I love all three of you more than you know!!

 

 

 

Wednesday was such a special day!

As many of you know, I have always been a daddy's girl. Growing up, having my birthday the day before his has always been so special to me. This year his day changed a drastic bit. Little did we know that my sister would go into labor on my birthday and our family would welcome a beautiful baby girl on daddy's birthday.

 

Gentry Reese Jones made her grand appearance at 11:43 a.m. on April 1st, 2015 weighing 6lbs 4oz. and 20 inches long.

Mama and baby are doing great; daddy and big brother are too!

I am looking forward to loving her and spoiling her as much as I possibly can.

 

 

As I stated in bold italic letters above,

"I HAVE BEEN TRULY BLESSED!"

 

 

The day I entered the world 23 years ago, my mama and daddy had two of the kindest, selfless, beautiful souls waiting on me, my two big sisters, Brooke and Brittani. Through the years, we have fussed, we have faught, hugged, cried, and had some of the greatest times of our lives. Being their baby sister has taught me so much. They've taught me a lot about life, love, trust, forgiveness, and faith. They've been my strength, my biggest fans, and my extra eyes and ears when needed. 

Today, they are two of my best friends. Our bond is so rare and extremely special to me.

 

 

To witness the two of them become wives and mothers has been some of the greatest blessings of all. Never once did I ever doubt their ability to be loving wives and mothers, but they have gone above and beyond the call of duty.  

My brother-in-laws are two LUCKY fellas!

 

Twelve years ago, a beautiful, blue eyed, princess came into the world and named me Boo Boo. She was the one who introduced me to the world of "AUNT LIFE" and I can say my life was forever changed. Bryson came along seven years later and then little Turner man three years after that. Alex, Kaden, and Jesse joined the pack Saturday and now Miss Gentry falls in as the caboose. 

 

That is... "BOO BOO x 7"

 

I have said it so many times before, but being an Aunt is truly the greatest gift I have EVER received.

 

As I reflect over the last few days...

my emotions are running rapid, I am overwhelmed, but filled with

 joy and happiness.

There has been SO much that has happened in such a short amount of time. 

I thank the man above for all He has given me and our family!

 

 

xoxo,

Brandie
