SURPRISE!!!!!!!

So Saturday after service Jeff and I got home, I'm still all dressed up...I had to use the ladies room so I figured I didn't need to pull my nylons all the way up since I was just going to go to my room and take them off again.....Why am I telling you all this you ask?? Well Much to my surprise when we opened our bedroom door Jeff's family was hiding in there!!!! They made a surprise visit and my first thought was.."WOW, I have my pantyhose hanging half way down my legs!" But then that feeling was overwhelmed with feelings of joy as little Maddy ran to give me a hug. It had been way to long since one of those! It was soooo nice of the family to surprise us like that!

We had 2 days with them so we did as much as we could. This was my brother-in-law Patrick's first trip to Arizona so I wanted it to be a good first impression. We went to see the "little painted desert", explored a little of the reservation to show him our service territory and went out to Clear Creek where I spent my summers as a kid. We all had a fun time. It was great to have such an unexpected fun weekend!

Before the family had to leave we headed to Flagstaff and went to Cracker Barrel for brunch and OH MY!!!! I LOVE the breakfast there! Usually I would just order lunch seeing as it was around 11:00 but their breakfast is way to good to pass up. After breakfast we looked around the gift shop and Maddy found the perfect lolly pop. She was in search of one piece of candy that Judie said she could have so when I showed her the White flower lolly pop with a yellow center, that was it!!! Who would pass it up?! Its the size of 3 candies!!!

It finally came time to part ways..That's always a hard thing to do but it made it a little easier being the fact we weren't expecting them so even though they had to leave it was an unanticipated treat so we were just grateful that we got to see them, even just for a little bit. What a great weekend!!!
