Fun math

Got this from Blissfully Domestic.

Think of the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
Multiply by 80
Add 1
Multiply by 250
Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.
Subtract 250
Divide number by 2

Your answer should be your phone number.

Two new friends

While in Florida visiting my sister (enough about Florida already, Jawan!), I made two sweet friends; Kimberly and Ashley. Let me just say that these two gals are a hoot and a half! I had so much fun hanging out with them and getting to know them through the fun hours we spent together in the pool, at the zoo, and during our two hour stay at Chick-Fil-A for lunch (those employees were certainly glad to see our crazy bunch finally leave!).

First, our clothing budget for the next six months has been taken care of, thanks to Ashley. She has a precious little girl who had tubs full of clothes too small to wear. What did Ashley do? She gave them all to Abigail! Abigail has a full chest of drawers and clean dresses in her closet to chose from for the next two seasons. Thanks, Ashley!

Also, I must say thanks to Kimberly. She allowed us to swim in her pool for hours and hours. Her home, property and personality were so inviting that I even surprised her one morning to let her know I was “here” and wanted to play in the pool with the kiddos. After an hour of swimming, she brought out a bowl of hot chicken-n-dumplings for lunch! Talk about pool-side service! Her little girl is the same age as Andrew so they hit it off immediately. In fact, on an afternoon excursion around the yard, they helped each other when they encountered some car trouble.

Broken lens

My camera bag fell out of the car while unpacking from our Florida trip. Horrors. Now I’m the owner of a broken lens. I’m going to go crazy without my camera around my neck to snap pictures at every moment.
