The announcement of Baby Jethro

The only person of my inner sanctum that I haven't been able to contact about the impending hillbilly baby spawn called Baby Jethro is my best friend Jessica.
She and I have been best friends for about 5 years now, all starting back when we were working the retail world of Charlotte Russe in the Fashion Square Mall in good ol' Saginaw Michigan. We clicked the first day of training when we both ended up at Arby's for roast beef sandwiches and turnovers for lunch in the food court when everyone else was eating salads at Subway. :) Nothing like bonding over food.
We became roommates a few months later and stayed together through two apartments, numerous fights with our significant others, many many nights of stolen Style Network and my wedding planning. Once I discovered Shark Fin was going to be stationed in Virginia and I was going to be moving, Jess made the decision to move, too, to Colorado State University to pursue her dream degree in Metalsmithing. Why? Because she's amazing like that and that is all the reason she needs. Anyways, I miss her terribly. She's probably the closest to a twin I'll even have and having her two time zones away, frankly, sucks. She is one of the people I really, really want to know and share the excitement with me, because I lurvvvvvvvvve her. Combined with my exhaustion lately and the aforementioned time zone difference, we haven't caught up yet.

Tonight, though........ will be the night.

I hope.
