Story Time

I know it's been awhile but bear with me here, I'm a newlywed, mother of 2 (chameleons), and now going to school (and working of course). Anyways here are some stories:

#1
I wanted to tell about my Finance teacher Professor Gardner. He is fascinating. And he is blind. On the first day of class he went through all 55 students and had us state our last name and he proceeded to give our full name and last 4 numbers of our student id's. So I said "Welling" and he said "Jacquelyn Valerie Welling 8310. Next..." I was VERY impressed. Every single person. Amazing. And you might wonder how a blind man teaches finance? Well not super well I have to admit but he knows his stuff. He even uses powerpoints, a little voice just tells him what is on them before he starts talking about them and he knows everything on that powerpoint from memory, it's pretty cool.

Story #2:
When we were visiting Brandon's family in Arizona this summer we were all out one day and we were talking to Brandon's nephew Braeden (I think he is 8) and someone mentioned drugs and Braeden said "I know what drugs are" and we were all kinda surprised so we said "Okay what are they?" and he said "Drugs make you poop and not be able to stop." And we said "YEP. Correct. Good job!" :) haha he is a funny little kid.

Jackie. It's about time you update your blog. And a run-in at Smith's does not count as catching-up. I have to hear all your tales of Nordstrom.
