Serendipity
Today I had to run some errands near the mall so as a reward for my children's good behavior I took them to the mall play area then we had lunch at Chik-fil-a. Soon after we arrived at the play area Kennedy walked up to a little girl and started talking to her. It was too loud and she was too far away for me to hear what she said but the two played together happily for some time. Once they came close to me and Kennedy was excited to tell me she had met a new friend. I asked the little girl, who was wearing the same skort as Kennedy, what her name was and she said, "Kennedy". I thought she misunderstood. Soon her mother came my way and I asked her what her daughter's name was. She said the same thing, "Kennedy". Oh! That's my daughter's name too! It turned out they were the same age--give or take a few months. After a few minutes the girl's mother asked me if I'm LDS. She said that she, too, is LDS and they are not in the same ward but go to the same building. Just a funny coincidence.

That's crazy! Kennedy doesn't seem like a very common name. So your story seems like perhaps you were all meant to be friends! I hope so!
Hey Christi-
How are ya? I just took Jefferson to the mall to play yesterday and we too ate at Chik-fil-a. I have yet to find another boy named Jefferson. That's funny about Kennedy. Give my love to your family!
