Jennifer

Born in April 1979 in Sterling, IL, Jennifer Anderson has been friends with Cassandra since the sixth grade.

Following her father’s infidelity in 1993, Jennifer moved 15 house down from Cassandra with her mom and younger sisters, Jessica and Courtney.  Her parents divorced that same year, and her father left with his girlfriend for a job in a different part of the state.  He will not see his daughters again until 2002.  Mrs. Anderson, with no other means to support her household, accepted a position as a vet tech at Tiffany’s dad’s veterinary practice.

In high school, Jennifer expressed bitterness over what happened with her parents.  She started dating Ryan Brunner in 1995 and loses her virginity to him.  She became convinced he would leave after he got what he wanted.  However, the couple doesn’t break up until the summer 1997.

Jennifer’s first jobs were in retail, so she could afford new clothing and shoes.

Jennifer attended Western Illinois University, studying education and pursuing multiple trustless relationships with men.  Her college friends were Tara, Marlee and Carlee.

In 1999, she began dating Phil Economos, whom she’d been attracted to since high school. They married in May 2001 and have two children, Grace in 2004 and Ethan in 2007.
