Funny about phone numbers

I don't know why, but I have this weird issue with phone numbers. When Doug and I were engaged and setting up our new phone account, he called me at work and told me what our phone number would be. I quickly told him that the number wouldn't work. We needed an easy number so that when we had kids they would be able to learn it and remember it easily. He laughed at me and called the phone company and got our new number: 944-2443. I loved this phone number. It was a sad day about six months ago when I had to call and discontinue this number because we were moving-it was our number for 10+ years.

I was quite picky about our new number. As a matter of fact, when setting up my new cell phone number, I called back several times until they had one I thought would work. The Verizon people were very patient and spent many minutes on the phone with me going over different numbers. Finally, she said if you hear one you think will work, we will have to snag right away because we may not be able to get it if we wait. Anyway, we did come up with a number that would do, but I really miss 944-2443 and 673-0002. I think these will always be my favorite numbers.
