Psychic Powers?

I few weeks ago I was looking through my computer trying to find an old file.  During my search I came across a document titled "Letter to Jami."  I couldn't remember what it was, so I opened it up and read it...

On October 25, 2009 I wrote Jami a 4 page letter.  She was going through a tough time and this was also the beginning of her rapid deterioration from the Cushing's.  When I was about half way through the letter I came across this paragraph (don't worry, she said it was ok if I posted this):


"Someday when I'm like bed-ridden with twins..."

What?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!

This was FIVE YEARS AGO!  Kids weren't even really on my radar back then.  The only explanation is: I have psychic powers.  I'll admit that my new-found ability scares me.  "With great power come great responsibility."

Side note: I wrote the letter to Jami using my own handwriting font.  The site I used back then isn't free anymore, but this one seems similar: http://www.myscriptfont.com/.  You print the paper, fill it out, scan it, and it makes a ttf file of your very own handwriting!  Pretty cool!  We were living in CT when we came across this.  One of my friends (Amanda) has beautiful and unique handwriting.  I told her hubby that we could make a font of her script.  So we devised a plan.  I told Amanda that Jake's little sister was in a graphic design class and needed examples of handwriting - and since she's famous in the ward for hers I asked for her help.  She had no idea!  Then on Christmas morning, her husband used her font to write all the Christmas labels on her gifts.  She said "I don't remember writing this."  haha!  It was a fun surprise!

Anyways, back to my psychic powers.  I'm nervous to look through my old journals now.  Who knows what other predictions I've made?!?  If I remember correctly, I should soon start my career as a dolphin trainer.  Not sure how that's going to work since I live in Michigan... and I hate water!  Also, from here on out I will no longer be joking about having another set of multiples.  The consequences are too dire!  ;-)

Awesome! Too bad you didn't write anything about becoming a multi millionaire with no effort then sharing it with your 4th (5th?) favorite SIL. Or did you?

As I was reading your letter to Jami I got all confused and had to re-read the beginning of your post. Yes, she said that she was going through her computer files... Did she scan this letter onto her computer? How is this her handwriting if it was done on the computer?

Thanks for explaining the mystery! That is so cool!

And way crazy about your prediction. You must take your powers seriously and not throw the twin prediction around willy-nilly. Please never say it about me... Unless Jami agrees to come be my nanny/entertainer. She really is one of the funniest people I know.
