222...

I just reached 222 followers.  Made me smile...

See, here's the deal, 22 has special meaning in my family.  It was my grandpa's number.  I guess it seemed as though every time he was assigned a number, it involved a series of 2's, or so I'm told.  It's one of those old family stories that gets passed down.  I'm sure, more often than not it's pure cooincidence, but our family seems to notice mulitple 2's alot.

My aunt was once driving along, missing her dad {my grandpa} and looked up, only to see the car in front of her had a license plate that read KBS 222.  My grandapa's initials were KBS.

My sister claims to wake up in the middle of the night at precisely 2:22 am on a regular basis.

My dad topped off the gas tank before our road trip last year and it registered exactly $22.22. {I think, or it may have been $20.22, or 22 gallons....point being, it was full of 2's}

I almost always notice the time at 2:22 in the afternoon, and check my watch at 22:22 into my run.

My phone number ends in 22.

I was born on the 2nd, my husband was born on the 22nd. 

Even Jon has started noticing them.  He points them out to me all the time.


I know it's more often than not coincidental, but it always makes me happy when I notice them.  Almost like hearing from my grandpa again.

I was expecting to see the followers reach it sometime, but I got an extra chuckle when I realized today's date.  Fitting that I'd hit the 222 mark on the 22nd.

Does anyone else have a family number?  If so, what is it?  Do share!
