A Crazy Coincidence

So...my mom went to meant her almost, new mother-in-law the other day. I guess it was some type of family gathering, in which all of his brothers and their wives were invited as well. My mom finds out that they are having a party on August 7th for their mom's birthday. My mom thought it was a funny coincidence that their mom's birthday was the same day as hers. Later in the afternoon she finds out that the party isn't just for their mom...it was for all their wives as well!!! THEY WERE ALL BORN ON AUGUST 7TH!!! How crazy is that? Now the party is for 5, my mom included. Just thought I would share this anomally!

The Tattoo

To earmark my 25th year on the planet, I am getting my first tattoo. I have saved my first inking experience for this landmark moment in my life. This tattoo will also represent a year of incredible changes. I will be a newly married woman with a home of my own and two wonderful dogs. Let's not forget the new family I am acquiring officially this September, or the job promotion that I have worked so diligently for over the past 5 years. All these things will be commemorated by a beautiful blue and white tattoo of a snowflake at the base of my neck. I have spent a considerable sum of time searching and at the moment when I nearly settled for a butterfly, it came to me. I am a snowflake kinda girl! Who else do you know that will sit on the front porch in November until 2 a.m. waiting for that first snowfall of the season? Who owns more gloves or boots that me? Who loves winter and all its beauty more than me? I have finally found a symbol to represent me and the most special season of my life.
