These are the new fish, Jack & Alex. Wish them well. They survived the first night. We were a little concerned about Alex. He bumped into the driftwood chunk when I scared the bejeebers out of him by turning the light on. I think he hurt his eye, but he appears to be on the mend today.
Odd names for goldfish? Yes they are. They are named with love in honor of Justin's best friends from Michigan. They were his first 'real' friends. Having been forced together because their mommies were all best friends. They have been hanging together since they were all about 15 months old. This made our move back to Ohio especially hard for all of them. They have kept in touch over the summer through letters. Justin watches the mailbox pretty close :) I still wonder every day how I am going to survive the upcoming winter without my Michigan friends. I'm hoping I stay so busy that I can survive. They made survivng my years in Michigan possible and I still miss our girl's night out events very much. Not just because I want to escape- but because I miss the time we spent gabbing and realizing how very much we are floating around in the same boat.
Here (in case you are curious) is Justin sandwiched between the real Jack & Alex.
