A couple of months ago, Brandon & I went to Borders to check out some baby names books. We sat down to peruse them and Brandon came across a section in one book on how to make up your own name.
For example, if you want a strong sounding name, you start with this (these) letters, or if you want a masculine name, you use these letters, if you want an athletic name . . . So, we started playing around with the letters to make up names, and Brandon came up with the name Haner. We sat there and laughed so hard at this name, that it has become a family joke. Anytime we need to laugh, one of us will just say, "Haner."
Anyway, fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. It had been a stressful day, and I was a bit perturbed with Brandon, the boys, life, etc . . . when we got a phone call. Wanna know the name on the caller id?
Steve Haner.

It must be a sign.
And, just for the record, we WON'T be naming the baby Haner.
Not even the middle name.

I read the title and thought, "dear Lord, please say she's not serious!" Then I read the rest. Phew! :)
