Back in September 2010, the Canby House (CH) indulged itself in a little equation.
What if we add (+) Jessica Royer (JLR) to our house?
CH + JLR = x
She moved in, and quickly we realize that:
x = AWESOME!
JLR has taught us a TON about active listening and follow-up questions, hospitality from the perspective of a Namibian (pronounced NamBOOeyin), and the glories of SCUBA diving (including the lovableness of scallops!). Not only that, but Jessica jumped right in as an amazingly active and thoughtful roommate and member of our community! She rocks at the dishes, too. Oh, and baking stuff. Oh! And inspiring us with her ravenous studying. She’s awesome.
A few months went by, and another opportunity for a NEW equation came up. Jessica Vinson (JV), after months and months of being involved in our community while living at home, was offered a job at Vermont Hills Preschool, a mere 4 miles from the Canby House. The Canby House (now CH + JLR = CH) asked itself:
if CH + JLR = AWESOME, what would y equal if
CH + JV = y ??
Without knowing what y would equal, we decided to put our equation to the test. JV moved in.
After only a few days, we can tell that JV is a great addition to CH. I mean, first of all, she makes crafts all the time. How great is that?! And last night she made yellow curry for everyone. Off. The. Hook. And time will reveal even MORE greatness, we are convinced.
We can honestly say that y (also) = AWESOME.
Therefore, if
x = AWESOME
and
y = AWESOME
And, if
x+y > x
x+y > y
THEN:
CH + J^2 = AWESOME^n
