In honor of his 30 years, I want to share 30 fun facts about Jon...
1. Jon was born in St. Louis, MO, and moved to Dallas when he was 6 weeks old.
2. His parents still live in the house that they have lived in since Jon was in 2nd grade.
3. Jon is the youngest of 4 boys. There is a special place in Heaven for my mother-in-law FOR SURE!
4. He is also the tallest of the 4...each on is actually an inch taller than the one before...6'2", 6'3", 6'4", and Jon comes in at 6'5"...He likes to say that his parent were breeders...ha!
The bros...Clark, Bryce, Steven, and Jon
5. His first car was a White Jeep Wrangler. It was his pride and joy, and he still talks about it all the time. He would love to have the exact same one again...not just the same make and model, but the exact actual one that he used to have.
6. There are only 2 foods that Jon won't eat...black olives and mayonnaise. Everything else is fair game :)
7. He doesn't drink cokes (except for the occasional Sprite).

17. He has been to Europe 4 times, including the UK, Spain, Sweden, Russia, and Italy.
18. Jon bought is first house at the ripe old age of 24. It was quite a fixer-upper :) But there are some great memories in that house!
