After work today Bri and I stopped to talk to her teacher in the hallway. I mentioned to him that he has the same name as my brother-in-law, but that I didn't even realize it until JT mentioned it...I guess I am pretty slow. So we got talking about family relationships and he asked me where I grew up and my maiden name. He said "I had a great aunt from Provo with the same last name, her name was Donna"..."MY MOM'S name was Donna"..."What are your mom's brothers names...Paul is my grandpa!" So, he is my cousin Susan's son, and we both remembered being at the same family reunions together...(Remember when my mom broke her cheekbone and was all bruised up. She wouldn't look at the camera so in all the pictures of her she has her head turned to the side!) When I told him I was named after my grandmother, his great-grandmother, he said that hadn't registered to him!
So (funny, ha, ha), Bri's teacher is her second cousin! I came home and pulled out grandma Durrant's pictures and showed her what he looked like as a little boy, she thought that was great! (He is the 4-year-old in the blue shirt).

It was soo fun to drive up today and see you and Bri and your darling house! You are so fun and love that you blog so that I can know what you are up to! Thanks for letting us come up and hang out for awhile!
It's such a small world - how fun for Bri. Thanks for "hosting" us today! It was so much fun to see your house, Bri, Yeager and your backyard! The food and conversation was great - we'll have to do it again soon!
Hilarious! I can't believe it. That is wild, and fun. I have been thinking I should call Anna for quite a while now. I should totally call her, if she doesn't know yet, she will get a kick out of this story. I should send her a card too. My card collection is totally out of control. I think I could send everyone I know a card and still have a thousand left over.
