Hello! I hope you have enjoyed my sites so far!! Now it's time to get up-close and personal with me!! Believe me, you'll see more than you ever cared to know about another human being! =)
NAME: Jennifer Ann (Case) Gigowski. Commonly known by friends and family as 'Jenn'. I go by Jenn (with two ns) and NEVER by Jenni/Jenny/Jeni/ Jennie/etc!!! Don't ask, it's just something I've never liked to be called...except for maybe during a rebellioius time as a teen...never mind! =) Lovingly and affectionately known as 'Bear' or 'Baby' by my loving, sweet husband Jerry.
AGE: 24 years old, Birthday Dec. 18, 1975
LOVE INTEREST: Wonderful husband Jerry Thomas Gigowski. We have been married since October 17, 1998. (longer than a year now! close to TWO!) Click HERE to see our online wedding album. He is my dream man, pure and simple, and he is my precious bear! I
waited for him for 21 years. I promised
myself, my friends, my family and the Lord that
I would not seriously date a guy unless I knew he was the man I would marry. I dated a bit, but nothing serious,
because I didn't think any of the guys were the 'one' God had for me. So I waited. And waited...Click my poetry to see some of the poems I have written concerning wating for a guy! I can't honestly say my waiting was patient....But the Lord was
good! Just when I thought I would never be married and have children (and was actually willing to live with that
idea), He brought Jerry into my life, and not long after that, into my heart. We were married exactly a year after our first date. Some think that's a bit fast, but when you know, YOU KNOW!! To see a more detailed description of how
we met, click HERE. I love living with him, and he is a daily
blessing to me. He lifts me up when I am down, and keeps my heart and mind on track! He is the sweetest, most romantic, most perfect guy i have ever met! He is the best husband in the world, and he will be the best daddy in the world when we have kids! He is a qualified medical assistant (QMA), and he will be taking classes at IVY TECH to become an RN soon. Jerry has his own website. It's hard to explain what he has since he has so much... it's all you ever need to know to make or improve a webpage (and more!)! Click HERE to go there! He's spent a lot of time on it. You know, something that a lot of wives can't say is that as an added bonus, he gets along GREAT with my family! Which brings me to them...
FAMILY:

And Josh, 18 & single! He just graduated from high school! He is a huge animal lover, and works on a farm with horses. =)
1 sister; Jannelle is 13 & not allowed to date yet! =) But she's in love with 'Nsync anyway...I have started up a website for her. If you'd like to see that, click HERE! Please keep in mind she's a teenage girl, and doesn't listen to me about design and color!!

PAST & CURRENT JOBS:
I
have worked in daycares a lot, in the
infant room to the 2 year old room.
Let me tell you, taking care of four babies
at one time isn't as fun as you may
think! I have worked in a nursing
home, with my husband. There I was a teacher's
aide, working with disabled children.
Then I was transfered to the preschool, so I was working with little kids. That was fun, but I decided not to return, because I planned on moving. NOW it is summer, and I am looking for a new job. I am babysitting triplets who are almost 2 and their 5 year old sister until I find something more permanent. They are so adorable, but as you can imagine, quite a handful!! Please keep me in prayer, in finding another job. I still need to have something at least part time.
DREAM CAREER: A full-time mommy and wife. I would love to be able to raise a family without leaving my home to work. I'd like it if my site could generate some extra income for us.
LAST VIDEO SEEN: Hanging Up, Jerry didn't like it as much as I did...I guess it was kind of a 'girly' movie. It was good, but a tearjerker!
LAST MOVIE SEEN IN THE THEATER: The Patriot, and it was EXCELLENT!!
LAST CONCERT: I haven't been in a loooong time. Probably last summer at the Indiana State Fair, and I don't even remember who was performing!
MOST MEMORABLE MEETING: I would say when I met my husband was the most memorable. Though at the time I thought he liked my roommate!
COLLECTIONS: LAMBS! Stuffed, figurines, plaques, posters, anything lamb! Bears, Precious Moments, cute cards, pens & pencils.
FIRST CRUSH: Hmmmmm....Jacob Miller, brother of best friend when I was about 11.

1> Serving the Lord is my #1 priority. Since I LOVE children, I have found this is the best way to minister--to the young. My (other) website is dedicated to them and families overall....click HERE to visit Family Universe! Children are the future of this world, and God offers them their only hope. Many kids I take care of need the love and spport of a stable individual, since their parents are gone so much...Jerry and i want to have 3 boys and 2 girls--YES, FIVE KIDS!!!! We have their names picked out and everything--click HERE to see!
2> I LOVE singing, writing, and drawing!! These are my other talents the Lord has blessed me with, to share His love with others. I am a very creative person. I love making things for people, whether it be making tapes with great music, making a keepsake with a picture I've taken, or making webpages!! I love reading stories and poems about parenting, and encouragement. =)
3> My husband and I both love animals. We live in an apartment currently, so we are unable to have any, but when we have our own place, we want lotsa animals! (maybe one for each kid...heehee!) We hope that grandpa will want a puppy when we live with him. He is an animal lover as well.
4> I love listening to music that praises the name of the Lord, and is also fun to listen to. (nearly all types of Christian music, as you saw above in faves!!!) 5> Something I like to do that you have probably deduced by my sites, is being on the internet! I enjoy making webpages, because they are in their own way art. Each page is like a painting, and reflects a little of its creator. Most of my pages were made using webtv, but some changes and updates (and nearly all graphics) were done at my parents, who have a computer. 6> I love going to movies with Jerry (our favorites are family films, but we see all kinds, again, as you saw above), or just renting them.
ok...let's see...a very suprising thing (to many people) about me is that in high school i was VERY shy. once ya get to know me, i can't be shut up, but most people in high school knew me as a "nice, quiet girl" (really!). before i went to college, i promised myself i would be different...heehee! one of my college buddies called me "the girl who's friends with everyone"! i'd like to say i'm in between now; just me. i'm comfortable with new and old friends. i don't try too hard, like in college, and i don't keep my mouth shut, like in high school.
i love honest, trustworthy, caring, fun, funny (good sense of humor), loving, creative, understanding, forgiving, faithful people. someone who tells me the truth first, but if he or she happens to mislead me, will come forward and confess it to me and the Lord. someone who forgives me and others as i do, and as the Lord does. someone who loves others with the love of God, no matter who they are. i am sooooooo thankful that i found someone who fits all this and more in my husband jerry. i was VERY picky while searching for him, and God blessed me for it!! =) but i look for the same qualities in my friends as well. not perfect, and willing to admit they are not, but striving to be Christ-like on a daily basis!! =)
i HATE lying & deceit, abortion, man-made evils, racism, any prejudice & bigotry, child abuse, ANY abuse, and satan. i hate the fact that this is a sinful world so innocent people get hurt, and knowing there's not much besides pray and comfort that i can do for them.......and on the less serious side, i don't like capitalizing letters unless it's absolutely necessary, i am not fond of driving a car (though i'm getting more comfortable with it), i have a pet peave of people using incorrect grammar when writing or speaking... (but i've loosened up a lot since being married!=) it especially bothers me when i find i've made mistakes myself!! please let me know of any errors!! i don't like having to repeat myself, i don't like talking when i don't feel like it (feeling like i'm being forced to speak), and i don't like having to wear glasses!!
