Happy birthday, Janeesa!

I cannot believe my oldest child is 30 years old now! She is living life to the fullest, living in Puerto Rico, running her own business, and "beachin' it up" every chance she gets. I'm so proud of her! She knows what she wants, and she goes after it with everything she's got in her!
