Peanut Butter, Dryers, and Phones

Lots of things have been happening around here. I thought you might enjoy these stories that have made us laugh lately.



Jillian is loving school. She got to go to her first pep-rally two weeks ago although she calls it a pep-riley. She calls it that because there's a girl named Riley in her class. Everything revolves around her new friends right now. Last week we got home from school and while I was getting Jillian and Jackson a snack Jeremy cleaned out their lunch boxes. When he opened Jillian's he found that she hadn't eaten any of her peanut butter and jelly sandwich. So he asks, "Jillian, why didn't you eat your sandwich?" She replies, "Lucy at school told me that little kids were getting sick eating peanut butter and I didn't want to get sick so I didn't eat it!" Now how do you argue with that!?



Our dryer has a knocking sound. It doesn't bother me, plus there are two doors that I can shut between the dryer and the rest of the house so I barely notice it anymore. It does however bother Jeremy. It bothers him to the point that last week while we were getting ready for Mimi and Pops to come and visit he decides to fix it. Guess what the dryer doesn't knock anymore...it doesn't work at all now! Thank goodness it's tax return season!



Jeremy and I have had the same cell phones for four years. This is not on purpose. We have had good intentions to get new ones for two years now but other things come up and in the long run the phones work so what's the point of getting a new one, right? Well, Jackson was playing with my phone the other day and dropped it. It became obvious that we needed new phones. Today we went to the Verizon store. When we walked in they asked us what we were looking for and we told them new phones. They asked to see our old ones and then laughed as we showed them. One lady told us she had the same phone when she was in high school and another man told us he had never even seen that type of phone since he had been working at Verizon for four and a half years! They passed them around to show all the employees. It's always good to make someones day! Thankfully we are now up to speed with new phones. (We still have the same numbers, I'll let you know when that changes!)
