Always On The Go

My niece, Jadyn Mortensen is a dynamic person who is full of life. She is early in her college years right now and was given a scholarship for her rodeo abilities. She is an amazing barrel racer, and while the competition is fierce out there, she still manages to win in many of her races. Recently, she barrel raced at the county fair, and took fifth place. She has been riding horses and performing since she was just a little girl, and she has loved every minute. Her horses have been like family to her.

Jadyn is also a great all-around athlete and sports fanatic. She likes skiing, snowmobiling, 4 wheeling, boating, hiking, swimming, and much more. That girl is always on the go. Plus, now that she is going to college, she is deep in her studies at the University of Wyoming, majoring in mechanical engineering. Jadyn is a very capable person. On her first day of work last summer, she changed a tire on the truck, and she and her coworker performed more inspections that people who had no issues to slow them down…lots more. Jadyn has proven herself to be a great all-around employee and person. Nothing can hold her back. The sky’s the limit.

Jadyn has always been a beautiful girl, inside and out. She has a sweet nature and a heart of gold. She is the only child of my niece, Amanda Reed and her partner, Sean Mortensen. Jadyn has always been a part of “the gang” of friends Amanda and Sean had. She was never excluded or left with a sitter. She was a bid part of the group and was always welcomed at their events. Jadyn grew up around all of her parents’ friends…rather like having a boatload of aunts and uncles, not to mention their kids, so that was like having a boatload of cousins. It made for a wonderful support team and way of life.

Jadyn is a happy girl who always wears a big smile. She has a bubbly personality, and people just naturally like he. She is very social and doesn’t have a shy bone in her body. She has also always seemed more grown up to me that whatever age she was at the time. Maybe it was because she was always spending time around a variety of people of all ages. I think that is a big part of what makes Jadyn a great person. Today is Jadyn’s 20th birthday. Happy birthday Jadyn!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
