I have known jill all of her life, literally. She is my cousin, 11 years younger than me, but many years wiser than any 19 year old should be. i've babysat her since she was little darling thing and I love her and her 2 sisters like they were my own children…which is weird cause I’m not really old enough to be their mother. Speaking of mothers, I love their mother too, she has been a mentor and a confidant to me since I was a little punk in high school.
jill is currently following in my very awesome footsteps at hobart & william smith colleges (because i forced her to go there). she and i are very close, i tell her a lot, a lot, a lot. we have this very strange connection despite our age difference; but i know no matter what i tell her stays between she and i, and she never judges, just dishes out very mature advice. i can't tell you how smart jill is...she often 'acts' like an airhead (hence a little absent-mindedness on what and where wichita is located...kansas!), but she really does have a very good head on her shoulders. her parents always try to get me to find out all the 'dirt' on her, but there very rarely is any dirt, she is a freakin' goody-two-shoes...sort of.
i think jill and i are so close because i see a lot of resemblance of myself in her. jill's always been a natural care taker/helper with her younger sisters and is shockingly polite for a teenager (way more polite than i ever was). she has fabulous taste in music, clothing, and boys (our 3 favorite things!). she has always been very creative, sentimental, sensitive and affectionate... i remember our grandmother saying about her when she was a very little girl, 'she's an old soul'...
jill makes smart decisions and i really am very proud of her. i'm looking forward to becoming closer as she gets older and moves into 'adulthood'...it's sometimes hard to believe i'm 30 and she's 19... ps- how freakin' gorgeous is she? seriously, why didn't i get the hot genes in our family???
