More proof that we're all connected.

First off, no name calling! I got enough of it last night about how weird and not normal I am, to last me well into February.

The people who used to live here left no forwarding addresses- well, many of them didn't anyway because we continue to get important mail for them (like traffic violations etc). We've been here over a year now.
In the mail the other day came a Christmas card, for Michelle (who used to live here). I felt too bad just throwing it away and I don't have a whole pile to return to the p.o. (so they can just throw it away) right now. I decided that I would open it and send whoever it was a note that Michelle doesn't live here anymore. The return address is in New Hope.
I opened it and there are 3 adorable little girls on the front, all very young. Indeed they are! They are 3, 23 months and 5 months. That sounded so familiar to me. So I sat down and typed out a little note saying telling them that Michelle no longer lives here, and that I felt too bad throwing away their card, so I opened it. I told them how adorable their babies are, and that when my youngest was born, my oldest was still 4 and that seeing their sweeties reminded me of that time (This is part 1 where Cullen laughs at me...because it never occurred to me to just send their card back to them. Didn't even enter my mind!). That went out in the mail a couple of days ago.
Last night we did our bi-weekly dinner with Kimmy, Travis, Brian and Em. Em picks THAT card out of all the other ones hanging on the wall to ask about. I was embarrassed because I have to tell her the whole story in order for it to make any sense (??) at all (part 2 that Cullen laughs at me about, I hung their card up. He says I'm a stalker and that they would get a restraining order if they knew it's hanging up. I can't THROW AWAY their BABIES!!!!). So I give it to her. She giggled at me and got up to get a closer look at the cuties.

And whirls around and exclaims "OH MY GOD! I WORK WITH HIM! I ACTUALLY JUST TALKED TO HIM ON THE PHONE TODAY!"

They live in NEW HOPE. It isn't like they live in Bloomington with us. What are the chances of THAT?!?
