I'm In The Books!

You know how you can buy colorful sparkly pencils, or old-school mini blue license plates, or even key chains that say your name on them? Well, growing up, I NEVER found my name on anything... not even in the baby name books that claim to have "every unique name" you can think of. Of course, the name "Krischelle" wasn't at all common when I was a little kid. Even now, it still isn't common.
I used to have a hard time accepting that because I wanted to be a "Brittany" or a "Jessica" or an "Ashley" lol. I hated when people couldn't spell or pronounce my name (after saying it to them 50 jillion times)! Then I grew up and learned to appreciate the "uniqueness" in my name. I liked hearing people say, "Oh that's a pretty name!" or "wow, I've never heard that name before!". But once in a blue moon, I will get someone that says, "I know someone named Krischelle! But she spells her name with a C...".
Anyway, Jacob and I went to Borders tonight. I love going to bookstores! Borders and Barnes & Noble. :) Barnes & Noble has WAY more books than Borders does, but I do love that stationery PaperChase section that Borders has! Jacob and I were in the clearance shelves looking at the big books they have there. I found a baby name book for only $5! What a deal! Too bad I'm not expecting! Ha. Before I put it back down, I thought, "maybe I'll find my name in here...", so I start searching! And under the "unique" section I find this!
I'm finally in the books! Can you find me??? The numbers next to the name are how "common" they are LOL and I don't have any numbers! WOO! Hooray for uniqueness!
Thank you for naming me :)

I never can find my name on keychains etc... I have claimed that I will buy whatever I find with my name spelled correctly (I have found an occasional Marcie). So far, I haven't had to buy anything yet. lol!
