http://heyitsmejessica.blogspot.com/2012/05/meet-chad.html
Thursday, May 10, 2012. Or "Jad" as my little cousins like to call him. No matter what you call him, he's pretty great. He is genuinely kind. He smiles big and laughs hard. He has ridiculously cute dimples. He is sarcastic and knows how to put up with the same from me. He is smart. I mean really. He's funny. Seriously. (Ask him to sing purple drank. He's quiet. We can talk for hours. He's adventurous, and makes me want to try new things. He gives perfect hugs. He's honest and a man of integrity. LOVE you...
