Sirrahbed had a huge SURPRISE!!

[sirrahbed]

We babysat Misha on Monday and her mommy asked me not to cook Thursday night because she and Bryan (my son) wanted to bring dinner over as a surprise to thank us for all the meals and babysitting, etc. Well, they came over, we had a nice meal and then we all started watching a football game back in our room. Chris (chrangharris) asked if she could invite Carol (her mom-persianmom) over and I said of course. A little later I went to the bathroom - heard Carol in the room so walked out and guess who is standing there??? MISSY and PAUL!!!! All the way from Japan!!!! They have been planning this for FIVE months and I never had a clue!!! For my birthday, I will have my ENTIRE family with me altogether!!! I was totally stunned - I stood there staring at Missy - could not believe my eyes, just stood staring at her!!! Devon (sirrahved) and my other son Jason don't know yet but are on the way here from Indiana because we are having a combined birthbay party TODAY for both me (9/17) and Bryan (today is his actual BD) so they will get the surprise when we go over at noon This party was planned for the past month and of course I knew about it but had no idea that my WHOLE family would be here for it I have been dying to post about it for two days now but could not let Devon know!! Anyway, here is a picture that Christine took of me that night. I had just walked out of the bathroom, Missy says my mouth dropped open for like 30 seconds and then dad and I hugged her. What happened with Dennis is that he just said hi to Missy like nothing was amiss and THEN did his double take, finally his brain registering that she was supposed to be in JAPAN and NOT in our bedroom!!

Just had to tell my friends here as this is SO exciting
