Karma

When Jeff and I started dating I was 16 and he was 17. As the youngest in my family my sisters had busy lives and didn't want to sit around with a sappy couple in love. As the oldest in Jeff's family his brothers were always around, tackling each other, running, yelling and just lingering. Henry, 7 years old at the time, and his friend Dennis would spy on us (even though we were not hiding) and use walkie talkies to talk to each other. They would duck behind trees an or peek around corners at us. They loved playing laser tag and would run past us totally giggling like they had caught us doing something (which let me be honest here we held hands, and sat close to each other but we didn't even kiss until after 6 months of dating, and even then it was right before Jeff left for college and thus began our long distance relationship - end of side note). I think one of his siblings (not mentioning names) would even say, "Make room for Jesus," when she saw us sitting close to each other. Ahh, memories! They make me smile!

So here's the Karma connection: Henry is now a Sophmore in college and he brought his incredible sweet and lovely in every way girlfriend, Annie, to Hannah's bday party. It cracked me up to see this:

Look at Hannah using her elbows to shove Annie over.
Yes, Hannah helped make sure there was enough "room for Jesus" by squeezing herself between Henry and Annie (which again, let's be honest, were not sitting insanely close to each other like Jeff and I did). What a little turkey! But, to show you how kind Annie really is, look at her smiling and patting Hannah on the back in the last photo.

Here is a short video of Annie decorating cupcakes with Hannah, which I'm mostly throwing in for family who have not had a chance to meet Henry's new girlfriend.
