Surprise

I had the best surprise of my life last weekend and now I will share it with you all. Since Brandon was home and we had no other free weekend we decided that we would throw an early birthday part for Brock at my mom's house. With a wedding and dance competitions and us moving I wanted to make sure that Brock had a party before we left and while Brandon was home. We all ended up going to bed fairly early and I was completely zonked out. Brandon on the other hand ended up waking up at 2:30 a.m. and then he finally got up and showered at 4 or 5 a.m. He left my parent's house close to 7 a.m. to see his grandma Godfrey and I ended up not running with my friend that morning. I got up for some reason and at the end of my bed was my SISTER! I was in complete shock! My sister drove all the way from Arizona, an 8 hour drive, to see me one last time before we moved. I couldn't believe it, and my mom, dad, and brother had known about this for 2 weeks! I was soo happy that she was able to see us and be at Brock's party. I called Brandon and he was shocked too. He had seen the kids asleep in the living room when he showered. When he woke up at 2:30 that's what he heard was my nieces and nephew coming in. We had Brock's party and the rest of my family, like aunts and uncles, where also surprised. It was fun being able to spend time with my sister and see my nieces and nephew. Brock had fun at his party. He ate lots of candy and kept drinking all the open Sprite cans. Let's just say he was on a sugar high by the end of the night. I love it when we throw the kid's parties because my family gets them clothes and since we are moving Brock got lots of summer/spring clothes. It saves me from having to buy him clothes.

We are now in the process of selling stuff and moving the totes that I've packed into the storage unit. We are planning on moving over Easter weekend and I should be out of my house the first Friday of April. Brandon has lined up people to come help move the big items in the moving truck and driving it to the storage unit that we have set up. I'm pretty sure that when that day comes the tears will be flowing. Brandon goes back this coming Sunday so that will be sad again and I'm alone for 3 weeks. I'm sure that this month is going to fly by so fast for me and I am hoping that I will be all ready and packed up.

Gna just share my views from top to bottom as I see them.

Filling out the name and email wont take me much time, and if you really wanted to go ahead and type the comment first, you can do so, not really that big of a work around. I’m .
