LOOK AT THE STARS. LOOK HOW THEY SHINE FOR YOU.

Last night RC and Acie came over for a little din din. Rebecca told us that her best friend's husband's parents had bought Adam a star (we realize you don't really own the star nor do you actually buy the star; it's named after you but I say if it's yours, it's yours), complete with a certificate and a map of exactly where it is in the night sky. One of the coolest things ever if you ask me. So now Adam Crownover has his very own star and Rebecca will soon be the owner of a new telescope I'm pretty sure. We discussed owning a star and the possibility your star could end up being a falling star. Then what? We wondered if China sees the same stars we see in Texas. We discussed the fact that we know nothing about astrology or astronomy or whatever it is. In fact, we weren't sure we could even find the Big or Little Dippers. So we stepped out into the back yard, heads cranked back and took a big look around. AND THEN, at the exact same moment, Rebecca and I saw a falling star shoot through the sky. We squealed and jumped up and down a little and Rebecca made a wish. And I thought to myself, "Thanks Adam. Thanks for the wink. We know you're up there watching over all of us."
