I think you have the wrong number....

A few weeks ago we celebrated my Grandpa's 90th birthday! My grandpa is such a positive man, he's always enjoyed life to the fullest. I talk with him every week on Sunday. So this Sunday I called him on the regular number and he didn't answer and there was no voicemail. I had a 2nd number saved on my cell phone. I called it. A man answered. "Hi Grandpa! It's Kate!" The man replies, "Kate, this is not your grandpa. I think you have the wrong number." Then we proceeded with the customary apology by me and explanation by him about why I might have dialed the wrong number. We probaby talked for about 5 minutes. What a nice man. I went through my phone numbers in my phone and deleted this wrong number. I decided to just wait and call Grandpa later. Maybe 3 hours later I went through my recent call list and pushed the redial for Grandpa. Oops! Somehow I called the SAME WRONG NUMBER! How did this happen since I deleted the number? Apparently it was deleted from the phone book but not the dialed number list. The man was so nice and we had another conversation which lasted a couple of minutes. I just felt so silly! After that I didn't want to risk any possibility of misdialing again, so I just waited until Grandpa called me later. Ha... has this ever happened to anyone else??
We did have a fun family party to celebrate Grandpa's 90th! I hope this is a year of blessings for him.

On Sunday - the same days as the wrong number conversations- we celebrated Ryan's grandmother' 80th birthday! Happy Birthday Mamaw! We drove down to Lindale, TX (hometown of Miranda Lambert :) ) for a rocking celebration at the retirement community. Here is Mamaw with Ryan and his siblings, Amanda and Greg.
The best part of any birthday celebration is playing with our cute nieces! We love Kiersi and Kayden!

Here is the birthday girl with the whole family. Ryan and I are so blessed to have wonderful grandparents who have always reminded us that family is so important!
