A new sister-in-law

Let me start by saying that I love my sisters-in-law. They've been great for my brothers, and for my brothers-in-law. Having said that, I'm very excited about the addition of another one. Yes, Russ is finally getting married! A tender mercy on all of us if there ever was one! An answer to many prayers. A wonderful moment in the history of the Perkins family.

What of the bride to be, Jennifer Eagar? I think I can safely speak for the entire family when I say that we are quite thrilled that Russ has followed the example set by his brothers and is "marrying up." Jen is wonderful. Need I say more? Her grace, beauty, spirituality, intellect and other fine traits will more than compensate for the veritable plethora of areas in which Russ falls short.

Russ, you know I love you, too, but this is about Jen.

Jen, we love you already and we welcome you to the family.

Geez we are almost related now - my sister Deirdre married Jen's brother Wade. We have known Jen for awhile and have always had the highest regard for her - she even joined our family for our annual Christmas breakfast feast last year and made the yummiest (not a manly term but the perfect description) creme brule (spelling?). Jen can cook and her brothers have many favorites that only come from her. I just heard on Labor Day that she was dating Russell and that just seems perfect. Wade and Deirdre seemed to think highly of Russell . . . but he's still marrying up :)
