small world

Tyler and I have been wanting to take

Dave Ramsey's

Financial Peace University classes

for quite some time.

We figured we'd better get a move on it

'cause if we don't get it in before Baby arrives

it'll be another year...

~

I got on Dave's website a few days ago

and printed off some class options.

Turns out

there's a class starting in about a month

just a mile and a half from the house!

Being a small town girl

I wasn't real comfortable just registering online;

I wanted to talk to the coordinators.

You know,

make sure we'd be welcome and all

instead of showing up

"Ta-da! We're here!"

~

There was no contact information

so I looked up the name of the class coordinator

in the phone book.

Small town and all....

There was only one person with that last name

so I took my chances.

~

Yes

I had the right people

but I needed to call back later and talk to the mom.

I ask her name.

You know,

so I don't sound like a complete idiot when I call back....

"Mavis"

I think, "Unusual name. I used to work with a Mavis.

Wonder if its her?

Nah, she'd be, like, near 60 now...."

~

I called after I got the kids in bed.

We talk a few minutes

then she says, "What did you say your name was?"

I tell her.

She says, "I know that name. I can see it on e-mail..."

~

Anyways

we figured out

that we've never actually met

but our paths have crossed

through different homeschool things

through the years.

Small world, huh?

~

and

it turns out

If I'd have just registered online

The class would have cost us $30 more!
