What Kunzler do you belong to?...

I have been having the most interseting time at work. One of the main reasons is that I will find random people who know exactly who I am and my entire family history and I will know nothing about these individuals. At times it is quite annoying becuase hey they know everything about you and you know nothing on a first meeting. But on the other hand I feel very blessed to come from the family that I do. My grandpa and grandma Kunzler really made our name known, unique, and special. I can say I'm a Kunzler and people will know just how good of people that my family is.

Here is a couple examples of my Random encounters.

On monday me and this guy Carl Torgenson took a couple girls into richfield for an activity. Well on the way down it was just "so where are you from?..", "I was born in Richfield." "well who are your parents?" "Bill Kunzler.......", "So your Uncle is Steve right?" "......YES.?!?!?!?!". "Your dad and Uncle Lamar baby sat me when I was younger and I am very good friends with Steve. I go Golfing with him ever other weekend or so. This past weekend I did this....." "HOLY CRAP" So basically when we got to where we had phone service Carl called my uncle steve and was chatting with him and I had to call my dad to see what he had to say. (Basically that when he was baby sitting, Carl would chase Lamar around with a butchers knife. JOY! Then once we got back and the shift was over we were having a small staff meeting and Carl turns to our superviser and said "guess who's niece we have working here!" as he was pointing to me and he said "we have Steve Kunzler's niece". So then my superviser looks at me and says "I go golfing with your uncle" etc etc etc...

There are two older ladies that work by the phones for when students are allowed to make phone calls to their parents and one lady Maxine asked where I was from and then who my parents were and I said I was a Kunzler and she asked "so that makes you a Manwell as well right. (Manwell is my grandma's maiden name) and I said yes and she started to list off all my relatives and this and that.. OH BOY!

The other lady I spoke to on monday after the encounter with Carl and she was suprised and said "So you're a Kunzler? Do you belong to Russ and Twila?" I told her that I did and she gave me the BEST compliment ever. "Well, You look like Twila now that you mention it." :) :)

I just LOVE that I come such a WONDERFUL family! It is just so overwhelming at times but just knowing that people think good things about my entire family is awesome. I can Honestly say that I am proud of who I am and my geneology.

So not work related, today while I was in class I had my 10 min break and a lady from the ward called and in relief society they do a newsletter and since my bithday is this month they wanted to do a little spot light. So some of the questions was who is your hero, where are you from, and your favorite book or author. Well during this conversation I mention Kunzler and my classmate asked "So you're a Kunzler, who do you belong to?" I said that I belong to Bill and she said that she worked with my Aunt Holly for about 10 yrs and that her dad worked at Whiting Motors with my Grandpa and that she knows my dad really well. So again I had to call my dad and ask him about everything and he knows Mark and really liked him. I guess Mark would go pick up cars when my dad couldn't. Then Dad told me some info on my classmate and again it was kind of overwhelming but again I don't think I could have come from a better family!

Again, I am Oh so very blessed for my Geneology and who I belong to and my family history. I just LOVE my name and who and what it stands for. I hope that as time goes on that I can make the Lucero name a good name just like Kunzler.

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for being such WONDERFUL people and giving me such an awesome name!
