A BIRTHDAY MESSAGE FROM JEFF
wed. july 22, 2009   |  

So as you all know, this is a year of new beginnings for Jessica Claire. Today, Jess celebrates the Big 3-0! Later this year, Jess walks down the aisle with the totally awesome, though enigmatic, Jeff Norwood. We asked Jeff to take his best shot at a post on the Shootsac blog so that we could get to know him a little bit better. Surprising the you-know-what out of Jess on her 30th Birthday is just the icing on the cake :)

Without further ado...
 
A Birthday Message from Jeff:
It's crazy to think that Jessica is turning 30 today... and I will still be in my mid-twenties. I mean, think about it...30 is half way to 60, which is half way to 120. The oldest man in the world is only 112. Kinda makes you think.

In all seriousness, Jess is such an amazing person and I am so lucky to be a part of this day and of her life. We have so much fun together, and I can't imagine marrying anyone else. Here are a few highlights of our relationship.

Here we are on our first date:
 

After the second date, I sat Jessica down and told her that she may want to wear something other than a chicken suit every now and then. So the next time I picked her up, she was dressed like this:

 

That's when I knew I was in love!
 

All kidding aside, I cannot wait to get married to Jessica. I have had more fun in the past 9 months of my life than I have ever had before. I can't imagine my life getting any better. Jessica is such a funny, sincere, spicy, and talented girl it would be impossible to not have a great time around her (unless you call her with rags and suck out). I feel like I am truly the luckiest man I know.
 
Happy 30th Birthday Jessica!

Love,

Jeff

This week, I got these two photos, and I just adore them!

This one is from Erin Hession--did you know shootsac covers are great for detail shots?
