Hello...


It is Wednesday...so this must be a quick thought...Wednesday's are always ridiculously busy! Landen and I tried to chat at least once a day....however we rarely caught hold of one another because we each had such crazy schedules but we would ALWAYS leave a message. Some messages would be just"I guess you must be busy right now... but when you get a chance give me a call. I love you and hope to talk to you soon!" or we'd tell the entire story of what we were going to tell in person on the phone calling back multiple times to finishthe story...Landen did not have as much patience for multiple phone calls as I did. I enjoyed calling back 3 or 4 times to finish a story but by the third phone call Landen would say "Good grief! ...I'll just talk to you later...love you!"
Landen would pick at me because he said the message would ussually cut into me finishing a melody of some sort that I had been humming or singing while waiting for his usual ridiculously long or absurd voicemail message to end so I could leave my message. He said it always made him smile...but the sweeter part is I didn't even know that it picked me up at all until about 2 years ago I answered the phone finishing a little melody and he laughed and laughed... so much he could barely speak (he must have been tired!)...and when he finally pulled himself together he said that this happens quite frequently with me! Haha...I wonder how many people's voicemails have recieved my melody leftovers? We both laughed until we cried.
Landen's voicemail messages always cracked ME up...but those can be an entirely different day's blog:)...ending conversations on the phone could be a whole other blog as well. Sometimes it would take 30 mins to an hour to end a conversation! The Saturday before he left us all we were on the phone for 2 1/2 hours ...and the 1/2 part was us saying goodbye:) We would always think of one more thing to say and then we'd say, "Well, I suppose...I should let you go..." then another thing would pop up! I think everyone who has someone close they talk to on the phone can identify with that:)
Well, I love you...and good bye...
