Uncle Russell Came to Visit

So you all most likely think I am crazy for the title, and I may be, but I really do think he came to visit me on an afternoon when I really needed a smile.
Monday was not a great day, I had an exam, lab, and I had to close at work for the first time by myself. If you cant tell by now I am not a big fan of my job nor was I a fan of taking nearly an hour to close. It was a long day. And neither of the registers balanced correctly. I called the office manager 3 times to try to get everything worked out and ended up just leaving it like it was. Any way when I finally left, I walked out to the car and on my seat there was a brand new penny. If you dont know why this is significant, go here to read the story. So I think that on a really bad day Uncle Russ left me a penny for a smile and a "I'm still watching you" reminder. That is the reason for the title. Just thought you all should know.

How awesome is that! Every time I see a penny lying on the ground, I pick it up and think to myself (and sometimes actually say it out loud), "Uncle Russ says HI!" Thanks to all those people who drop change and don't think twice about it, because it means so much to us when we find it! :)

Love you and hope you week is getting better.
