Mom and Dad met me at Owen's T-Ball game. We had a great time watching the little kids play. Mom and Dad laughed and laughed. It was funny. Owen was so happy to hit the ball off of the tee and run to first base. Then he would smile and wave at us, so proud of himself.
We all came home from our different activities and watched two episodes of Relative Race. The kids love that show so much and Greg and I have enjoyed watching it with them.
The other day, I had my own "Relative Race" moment. I had called the awning company who built and installed our backyard pergola to come out and give me a bid for changing a section of it to a solid cover roof. When the guy was finished, he left me a bid with his name and number. His last name was Gardner. So I mentioned that I come from some Gardners. Then he told me he was from Star Valley, Wyoming, exactly where my ancestors are from! I told him I come from Archibald Gardner, and he was excited to tell me that he comes from Archibald Gardner too. As I was laughing, he stuck out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Cousin." It was really cool.
I'm sure there are people crossing paths with me all of the time who are related to me. It's so fun to think of how we are all connected. I noticed that I felt completely different about him once we realized we were related. And he seemed to treat me differently too. It's made me think about how I should feel about everyone! We are all cousins in God's family. :)
