Here is a long story short....
After talking with my father briefly about our genealogy, I learned that K and I may be related. I started looking it up on the new fancy online genealogy website. (new.familysearch.org) And true enough we are!
How you ask???
Ezekiel Johnson Jr. is my great great great great grandfather. (4 greats) And he is K's great great great great great grandpa (5 greats).
Ezekiel Johnson Jr. was born in 1773 and married Julia Hills. They had a lot of kids ( I think 17). K's Family line comes from the eldest son and mine the youngest daughter. There is a book on tape that K and I have listened to about the Johnson family and their struggles as new members of the newly formed church. Awesome book, A Banner is Unfurled.
Anyway...... Small world!

I wanna say that's weird
-but strangely enough, that's kinda cool.
What is the correct etiquette for saying "nice job on marrying your relative?"
Ok - just giving you a hard time - that's kind of funny.
Oh, the jokes that can be made with this one. Someone stop me now....
Um. Should you be telling people this story?
Just Kidding! :)
Ya, Alan and I are related too, but we've already talked about this. Love love love the salad bar idea, so cool. I'm pretty sure you sure have a salad bar luncheon and everyone bring a topping and you provide the lettuce, that would be fun.
So, I totally missed church today, I hate not going Sundays are boring without it and then you just feel like crap because all I do is watch TV instead of doing something truly righteous like reading the ensign ro something. Anyway, did A tell you why I didn't go to church today? C had pink eye, again...or still. He woke up with his boogered shut, I am so annoyed, I have to wash everything again and see if I can get some different drops. I was going to just miss Sac and S.S. but then I threw up twice because I was coughing so much and I felt like total crap. I couldn't get a hold of Liz so they had to wing it, I was supposed to teach the lesson. Oh man, and I was so prepared too, posters and everything. Anyway, I should have just called you, sorry for the incredibly long comment. Love ya man. I might take you up on watching C, I have been putting it off because I don't want to burden anyone, but I think I need to, I am just notgetting better. I am so relieved I don't have Mason tomorrow. YAY! See you tomorrow.
