Some favorite memories from the past 26 years:


One of Jennifer's favorite memories is watching the VHS tape Orlando made telling her for the first time that he loved her.


There are so many more, that first birthday Orlando and Jennifer celebrated together and the look of surprise when Orlando discovered Jennifer found all six books of the Mystic Rebel series.


The time when Jennifer was--clears throat--hiding during--Spr 93. Speaking of hiding, there was the time when Jennifer was hiding under Orlando's bed on base--because of that dang inspection!


Most Embarrassing Memory: Jennifer farting and trying to spray what she thought was air freshener and it really was butane and Orlando walked in and caught Jennifer, mid spray!


Most courageous memory: OG standing up to Jennifer’s Daddy when he thought OG was lying.


Happiest Memory: Making Gabriel and Solana and knowing both of their children were planned.


Most Hilarious Memory: Jennifer telling those dudes to pull over so OG could beat their asses.


Most Cherished Memory: Jennifer waking up to OG speaking to the Doctor in Spanish as he was telling him their newborn Son’s name.


Collegiate Memory: OG being Frozen into AΦΑ--to his neo’s-- never mind about that we iykyk!!!


Most Defining Memory: OG delivering Solana when Dr. McAllister left Jennifer to hold that “crowning”.


Most Dangerous Memory: Jennifer driving in a snowstorm almost to Scotland to get OGs Christmas present--the miniature bull terrier, Prince Aurora bka Sir Samuel “Sammy Sosa”.


Most Heartfelt Memory: Watching Daddy's Sunshine lay her head on Orlando's chest to listen to his heartbeat so that she would always know he will be okay even when we were all scared--F cancer!


Sweetest Memory: OG making the news because of his determination to take their daughter to the Father-Daughter Dance while he was still recovering from the surgery that saved his life.


Most Determined Memory: Orlando crossing the finish line with Gabriel at Orlando's first marathon as a cancer survivor.


While there are so many more that could be shared, here is the most favorite--when Jennifer prayed to God and for Him to make sure she knew who was the one. On that day one guy walked into her job she was filled with disgust (he tried to skip out on paying for their first and last date) she knew she would never go out with him again. Shortly after, two more guys who were just friends walked in to tell Jennifer they were in the buddy program and joined the Navy together (they did a walkathon together). Finally, Orlando came in--as if him coming up to the register wasn’t enough--he went to the same video game where the others were playing (6 player Street Fighter or was it Mortal Kombat?) and instead of playing with them, Orlando stood apart from them with his arms crossed akimbo style and waited. Jennifer looked up and saw all of them and the light from those huge windows was on OG. Jennifer heard God’s voice loud and clear.--“He’s the ONE!”


Ohhhh, how very thankful are they, that when God said, “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” Mark‬ ‭10:9‬--it did not happen, even if that “man” was them! Jennifer is so grateful that God knew her heart beneath the hurt. Jennifer is so glad He spoke forgiveness in Orlando's heart and that they are together once again. Orlando has always remained loyal, steadfast, patient, and Jennifer's all these years. Thank you for allowing Jennifer to heal. Thank God for allowing us to embrace our happiness once again.
