Complimenting one another


Now if you know the Elwarts', you know we're wild, loud, and crazy people. Hearts of gold, but impulsive and quick-decision makers. That's a good thing sometimes, but other times, well.....

In our month of birthdays (10 so far), today it's Jennifer's birthday. Jennifer came into our lives when Sher, Jacob, and Scott were going to Inter-City. Whenever their group would get together, they'd go to the "Orchard house". One day Scott didn't join them, and Jacob "made his move" and started seeing Jennifer as more than just a "friend". Eventually they got married.

Jennifer is quiet, Jacob is not. Jennifer is a careful planner, Jacob was (notice I said was) not. Jennifer was a careful buyer, Jacob WAS not, etc. Now that they've been married about 7 years you can see how they've "worn" on each other. It's pretty cool really. I've seen some positive changes with Jacob as he pursued his degree in accounting, and now as he pursues his Master of Divinity. Jennifer has been good for him! ... and hopefully vice versa.

I believe they compliment each other, and that seems to be the makings of a good marriage.

Happy birthday Jennifer!
