Mr. and Mrs. Justin Barwick!! Isn't this a cute photo? I was pleasantly surprised on Friday night by these two kids as I was working late into the night on a project for my class. The beautiful bride is Jenet Lemma, who was not only a very valuable tutor of mine at work, she was also my babysitter for two semesters. She would pick Hannah and Eli up from school twice a week and take them home and watch them until either Ron or I returned home. MY KIDS ADORE HER ... as do I. The good-looking blonde kid next to Jenet is now her husband. His name is Justin and he is a proud member of the United States Air Force who will leaving for Iraq in 3 weeks. They surprised everyone on Friday by making a stop at the courthouse and tying the knot!!! I knew they were a serious couple, but I had no idea exactly HOW serious they were.
Jenet is from Ethiopia and her parents are still living there, so she brought Justin by to meet me because I'm the closest thing to a mom she has in the states! I had always heard her talk about Justin, but I had never had the opportunity and pleasure to meet him. He's a great kid and I think they will be VERY happy. Jenet graduated with her associates degree in May, and now she'll be attending a university in Atlanta while Justin is in Iraq.
Let's raise a glass and toast the new bride and groom!!
