My dad is from Brigham City. {well - near enough to it}
A couple nights ago I asked my dad if he knew {name stated here} (don't feel like giving names sometimes)
{name that was stated}?! I graduated with him!"
Graduated college? Nope. High school.
How. Random.
Today I went and told my professor that my dad knew him, and of course, he knew who my dad was as well! And said to tell him hi. And guess what! My dad taught his wife seminary.
Ha! Seriously?!
What was going through my head when he told me that? The following: How far apart are you and your wife???
As my dad stated when we uncovered this truth "who would have thought that someone you graduated with would be teaching your daughter in college down the road." (he said something to that extent). But really, who would have thought? Is someone I went to high school with going to be teaching my kids? Goodness, for the most part I hope not. No offense to my fellow high school graduates, but that would just be...odd.
I love these moments. It was like when I found out that my dad also taught one of my best friends dad's from elementary school. {I hope that sentence made sense} But really, I remember that moment. I couldn't believe it. I still hadn't realized how old my parents were compared to others.
But it's what's normal to me!
Even though I do have those "woh..." moments sometimes when someone tells me that their mom is as old as my oldest sister.
The amazing benefits of being the 10th of 11 kids I guess. And only one of the benefits. There are too many to count.
So today! (and everyday) I am grateful for my big family and old parents! {Parentals, please take no offense. I know you won't for real. You might just to be funny. Anyway}
