It's a small world after all!

This post is a little late in coming but hey I've been busy! So on August 1st I took my kids to the International Days celebration here in town. I saw a sign "Bill Dew: Republican for Congress" and the guy on the banner looked so familiar to me. Anyway, they were giving out the balloons so I took the kids over to get some. I said Lexi's name for some reason and the girl blowing up the balloons said she had a sister named Lexia. After I got home I realized why Bill Dew looked familiar. He's the father of one of my best friends from Memphis, Lexia Thornton, and I saw his picture in her living room on a regular basis for the 2 1/2 years that we both lived in Memphis. So I emailed Lexia to make sure my suspicions were correct, and what do ya know, she was here in town helping her dad campaign! So the next day we met her at the parade and spent a few hours with Lexia, Derek, Elizabeth, Samantha and little John Derek. I haven't seen them in two years because they had moved to North Carolina so it was even more exciting to see them. Lexia was actually the first person to know I was having twins (even before my mom!). She was watching Zack and Lexi while I went to the ultrasound and when I came to get them I was crying so she thought I was having a boy (I wanted another girl!) and when I told her it was two boys she just hugged me and let me cry it out. Then she announced she was moving a few weeks later and I had to cry some more. Anyway, it is such a small world! I'm just glad I have this crazy memory that remembers things like old friends maiden names! So all you Utahn's vote for Bill Dew, he's got a great family! And thanks Lexia for spending time with me during your short vacation with your family.
