News

Back in my college basketball days, my brother-in-law to be, Jim, called me constantly. He wanted to talk about this play, or that stat. This player, or that team. The day my basketball career ended, Jim has called me twice. I may be exaggerating a tad, but you get the point!

Tonight, at 9:30 when I noticed I had a missed call from Jim, I began to wonder what on earth he was calling me about. He must be looking for Jeff. He knows darn well we aren't in the same vicinity, but he also knows we keep tabs on each throughout the day. That must be why he was calling.

When I spoke to Jeff this evening, he informed me that he had spoken to Jim. Well, good, I thought, I don't have to be the middle man. I had every intention of calling Jim back tomorrow just to see how things were going. That is until Jeff informed me that there was big news. I immediately knew what it was, no need for the actual information. I had all the information I needed. Jim was not calling me to find out where Jeff was. He was actually calling me. Calling me for the big news!

Are you ready for this? You probably won't be as excited as I am, but here goes. I am going to be an aunt! An aunt! Not to a furry animal, sorry Diggy, but to a real-live baby!

You better believe that tomorrow I am going baby shopping, and that I will be sure to make a lot more trips to Baltimore!

My most enthusiastic congratulations go out to Jim and Jenny!
