OMG! THE SURPRISE OF MY LIFE TONIGHT. . . . .

Oh my family and friends did I ever the get the surprise of my life tonight.  I just had to tell you about it. 

My daughter-in-law called John and I to see if we wanted to go out for dessert. We said we would and would meet her at the Red Robbin. Then John decided he didn't want to go and wanted to beg off. Mary Ellen wouldn't let us beg off. So we said we would meet her at 8:30. Well before we went in to meet her, I decided to go the bridal shop to pick up Laura and Riley's dresses for the wedding. Wouldn't you know they screwed things up again. So for almost 15 minutes I stand there waiting for this girl to come back with the dresses, but she had to hunt them down because they said Riley's dress wasn't in yet. I got mad and told them that the manager Amanda TOLD me they would be in on Monday. I get there, "Oh Laura's dress is in, but Riley's won't be here until tomorrow. TOMORROW, she PROMISED ME they would both be here on Monday. Anyway, after almost 20 minutes of waiting I told the other sales person that I had to meet with someone and we were late. So I left and as we are pulling out of the parking lot she shows up with a dress.

Anyway, we get over to Red Robbin to meet Mary Ellen who was sitting there at the entrance so patient for us. So I start to explain to her the problems we have been having with David's Bridal. As I am talking I set my purse down on a table still ranting and I look over to my left and glance at this table. I thought I recognized them and then it dawned on me, IT WAS LAURA AND MY GIRLS!  OMG! I started crying, "my girls, my girls."  Run over to the table and grab my daughter, whom I miss soooooo much, then I grab my two little girls Riley and Regan.  Hugging and kissing them and not wanting to let them go. I cannot believe how much they have grown.  Oh it is so wonderful to finally have them home.  I don't want to let them go back either.  But I have 2 months with them and I am going to take every advantage of them being here.

I will be posting again later with some pictures.

WAITING, WAITING, WAITING. . . . . .

for Laura and the girls to get a flight out of Germany.  Can't wait until they get home.  I'll sure be glad when Laura and the girls get here.  I really miss them and my girls are getting so big and growing up fast.  Every year that I get to see them they seem to have sprouted a few more inches in growth.  I haven't worked out in almost two weeks and I need to get back to it.  Seem to have lost my motivation.  Had surgery on my hand so there went a week.  Now I am trying to get the house cleaned before Laura gets here and I only have enough energy to do one thing in a day.  Spent both days of my weekend in the ER with my brother.  He had a Grand Mal Seizure on Saturday and we thought he was going to have another one on Sunday because he was confused as to what day it was, shaking and slurring his speech.  Turns out he OD on his Xanax and his pain pills.  Because he has been so disoriented from the seizure, he couldn't remember taking one so when he woke up he would take another one. 

My other two grand babies are growing fast too.  Levi is pulling himself up and soon will be walking around the table.  Elise is 3 and so smart.  She talks like an adult sometimes and you can easily forget that she is only 3 years old.  But boy can she be a handful.  That is one little girl who is FULL of energy.  Wish I could bottle it and use it for myself.

Josh is getting married August 8, so we are pretty busy preparing for that.  Been a long time since we have had a large wedding in our family.  It will be beautiful though.  Rebecca is a very sweet girl and her family just fits right in with ours.  Josh finally caught himself a wonderful woman who will be a good wife to him.  They plan on having children as well, so more grandchildren.  YAY!!!!!!

Well, that is all the news from my end.  I need to keep up with this blog and blog more often.  Take care all.
