coincidence--i think NOT!

so here's a C-RAZY story. i ate dinner with my family @ fazoli's tonight, right? just an average, breadstick-tastic meal, right? WRONG!

i stared at the menu for a while, and decided on fetticini, a classic favorite. my mom is ordering for my brothers and herself and asks me, "whit, what're you having?" i look to the girl at the cash register and my eyes widened. i barely stammer out my order before looking away. i stared at her name tag, and saw "courtney" in white letters. this girl was "the girl at the cash register" only a few seconds before; now she's courtney; a girl who used to be in my 5th grade class. isn't that funky?

for those who are thinking, "okay so you ran into some girl from 5th grade, don't call an ambulance," this is actually weird for me. she is not only a girl i knew 7 years ago, but after i finished the 5th grade, i moved to japan, then germany, and now i'm back in kansas. what are the odds of running into someone like that?

so i've redefined my whole thinking of "chance." life is very interesting. i wonder who else i'll run into?
