best buddies :)

anyone out there who says that they don't like surprises...TRUE surprises....hasn't really had one yet. i define a true surprise is knowing NOTHING..not even seeing it coming...like surprise birthdays..you know your birthday is coming up..i mean..come on...you know something is going to be done, at least i hope so. anyways...for those of you who don't know i got the SURPRISE OF OF MY LIFETIME....sorry kell it's gonna be hard to top this one. my dear, kind, best friend, twin sister and newphew came to visit us last week.
well this is the story...monday my dad called me twice during the day..so i knew something was up..so i called him back and he said that we needed to have a "family meeting" i was like what the heck...why do we need to have a family meeting...i thought maybe my parents were moving cause he was calling jenn and ashlee. so i get there around 6:30....not there yet. he gets home around 7:00 and sits us all down and starts talking to us. the whole time i am wondering is he just going to talk to us...and just call jenn and ash later..i thought they were involved in this too...so he starts by asking us if we want the good news or the bad news first...i didn't care..but my mom said she wanted the bad news. of course he said there was no bad news. and while he was announcing that..my mom saw something come onto our back porch cause you can see outside from where she was sitting. and my dad was still talking and i heard the back door open..and still nothing clicked..i thought..."who is the world is he about to introduce us to...did he just meet someone that was interested in the gospel....is he about to hand us over to an inspirational speaker...or what?" but sure enough out walks ashlee and lincoln...and i just sat there..i couldn't believe it! it was my best friend. ashlee said i was scwalling...sp? i wasn't..yes i did get emotional, but it wasn't a sob. :) i'm so glad that they came to see us...now i can't bug her about coming to visit me...even though i want them to live either next door or down the street from me!! thanks ashlee and lincoln for coming to see me....it was good to have you here. i enjoyed your company tremendously...and thanks nate too...wish you could have come.....and jenn and bj too...but hopefully we will see everyone all together for christmas!! can't wait!
