What a Small, Small World!

I got the following e-mail from my friend George, who lives in Omaha. (I’m recently told George drives back to the QCA on the weekends to be with his future wife, Amy, and their daughter, Camille. Commendable, I might add.) George and I used to work together years and years ago (where first I learned about laser engraving, in fact.) We’ve managed to keep in touch every so often but I hadn’t heard a peep from him for like three years until last week. I sent him one of our dual purpose holiday cards (which happen to be doubling as wedding thank you cards.) This is the response I got this morning:

Laura -

I’ll have to respond to your story in a little while – but in the meantime – I HAVE to tell you something. You’re going to laugh. It’s a VERY small world.

LOL – I just got your Xmas card (it’s beautiful by the way and you made a lovely bride). As I i was reading to my Amy over the phone – Amy IMMEDIATELY started laughing when I described your images. She’s been reading your blog for MONTHS now – without knowing that you and I had any association whatsoever! She loved your designs for the wedding and has been telling me how inventive and cool your ideas were – neither of us knew that she was talking about someone I knew!

lol

But here’s the REALLY funny part. I saw your video trailer a little while back – Amy showed it to me – I JUST DIDN’T RECOGNIZE YOU with your hair up!!! And by the way – our wedding reception WILL ALSO be at the Mark. lol. We’ve got the same lights above our dance floor too!.

I thought you’d get a kick out of that. Lol. I can’t believe i didn’t put the pieces together, and they were right in front of our nose.

Amazing isn’t it?? So Amy, if you’re still reading, thanks for being a loyal reader and I can’t wait to meet you next time you’re all in town!!
