Jennifer Matthews Fruit

Married my high-school sweetheart just 2 years after graduation, waited 16 years before having a kid, and now our lives are complete. We have a modest but happy home in Chesapeake.

My stepfather passed away just one week before my daughter was born. Fortunately, I am very close to my mother and my daughter's arrival was a Godsend for her. I am very fortunate to have my mother living so close to us and that she can be a part of our daily lives.

I had many good times with the Concert Choir. I remember getting totally smashed in the parking lot of Bayside Presbyterian right before a concert on Root Beer Schnapps (which to this day I can't even look at). I was supposed to be standing on the top bleacher behind everyone. About 3 songs in, my legs totally went numb, and I fell slowly back against the wall and slid down to the floor. The teacher thought it was stage fright.
