ABOUT ME STORIES
About Me — Jennifer Barrios Tettay
It’s Always Too Early To Give Up.
Hello reader! 💕
Here I sit, thinking about what my first paragraph should look like so that you won’t turn your back on me right away.
To begin with, how about a bullet point list? Everybody loves lists, right?
15 Amazing Facts About Jennifer You’ve Never Heard Of!
Well, if that’s not a strong start? How exciting! So mainly for me — after all, I want to see how many clicks this article might bring in. Or if I can make some acquaintances? Maybe. Or friends, maybe?
- My identity card says I’m 39 (as of 2022), but it has absolutely no idea. I am 25 — at the most! (okay, I wish. Truth is, I’m 39.)
- I live in a small village where meadows bloom and where everybody is friendly.
It’s located in a beautiful valley with a river running through it. One side is a forest on a hill, and on the other side are vineyards.
You might already have guessed, but I really love our village.
- I’m from Germany.
- My husband is not German. He is Colombian. At home, we speak Spanish, but also a little German. My husband is a funny guy, we laugh a lot together. ღ
- My youngest son is 13 and has Down Syndrome. He is adorable, amazing, and just perfect.
- He has a sister (18) and a brother (20). They are also adorable, amazing, and perfect.
- I am perfectly imperfect.
- I was born on St. Nicholas’ Day.
- My father died in 2001 at the age of only 45. He never got to know his grandchildren.
- Therefore, he met my first husband. He was 19 years older than me. He was also a very difficult person — to put it mildly. I’d rather not go into details. The marriage lasted only 5 years.
- On the other hand, my second husband (that’s right, the one from Colombia!) is 6 years younger than me. We have been married for over 13 years now.
- We went through thick and thin — literally. Because a year ago, I weighed 30 kg more than I do today.
- I’m catching up on my Abitur — as a distance learning course! But before I was a passionate gamer.
- Once I’m done, I want to study environmental science and become a fighter 🧙 against climate change.
- I’m an idealist reaching for the stars — anything is possible!
I tried hard to be entertaining. Did it work?

Favorite Lyrics Passage:
(Sonata Arctica — Gravenimage)
I play a note, but hear no sound
Have I lost my love or the wings I found
When I was young
And eager to please anyone who had time…
Needed to sing the very notes I heard
Had to stay in the shadows and seek for the loneliness
Nevertheless, the price was higher than I realized
I was to live alone, ready to make the sacrifice
Was I in love with you?

In my posts, I usually try to involve my readers because I LOVE the interaction in the comments and the opportunity to get to know each other a little!
However, the matter is completely voluntary. (best not pay attention to that big guy with the threatening gaze next to us).
But now on to the questions:
- Sam or Dean? (choose your answer wisely)
