HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOAD!
Every year since Jodi has been gone a group of family and friends try to get together to celebrate and catch up. I have missed the last 4-5 years because I couldn't make the long drive during the week. The gathering last night was a bit closer to home so I went. Jodi would have been 26 years old this year. Man are we getting old. It is interesting to me to see each of her friends get older and start families when I still think of her as 19. I think it is fair to say we all loved her very much and miss her even more. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOAD! (OK. Y'all know that she is making sure to party in style up there and it is still HER day. Don't forget that or lightening may just find it's way to you today.)
Kim Minnic, Katie, Me, Kim (My sister), and Jenni. Not sure why we all look so weird in this picture.
Katie, Me, Kim, and Jenni. This one looks much better.
Thanks girls for coming and sharing in this special day. I hope that this is something we do until we are old and gray.

This is really neat, Kelli! I didn't know that you guys met every year like this. Happy Birthday to Jodi.
What a special way to remember her! I know what you mean about thinking of her being 19 - I still think of Jake as 20 (he would have been 29 in June). I know she is with you always.
happy bithday toad!
we miss your spunk...dance in heavan for us today
glad you were able to go kel, i know she is always looking down on you w/ a smile and is the kid's gurdian angel
I'm glad you guys were able to get together and celebrate - again. Sorry I had to miss this year, I was there in spirit.
I plan to attend until the day I die, we can meet in Ft.Wayne every year if that is what works good for you Kel, I didn't realize that the distance was keeping you from coming, we could have met closer. For now on we will come closer. It makes it about 1/2 for the Blufftuckians that come north. So maybe next year we can meet in Northern Ft.Wayne. It was my idea to meet at Bandido's South, didn't want Katie and the baby out late or to far from home...JEN
