Yes my dear readers I have been surprised. Saturday I was at work and knew my step dad would be picking me up after work to bring me home for the long weekend. Even though this is what I knew my parents were very good at pulling a fast one on me. I was standing up at the front waiting for my manager to finish off with a customer so that I could rat on one my co-workers. I was in a goofy mood and told my co-worker that I'm going to go tell on her that she is not smiling and making the work place fun that day. To which my co-worker started laughing at me, and I said I'm going to do it and went to. While I was up there fixing a shirt on a hanger I saw a boy coming to the door with a girl following closely behind him. I thought to myself "Wow does that girl ever look like Patience" then it clicked that it was Patience, but it took me a second because they live in New York and was surprised to see them. I dropped what I was doing and ran to them for a hug each and the waterworks started! I hadn't seen my niece since last summer and it had been over a year since I saw Hayden. What a better way of announcing that my parents had arrived then to bring my 13 year old niece (who is taller than me) and my 10 year old nephew. What was better than that was that I got to spend the entire weekend with them. They made a sneaky plan my parents missed the reaction, and my manager didn't know what had just happened, but handed me the tissues anyway. Then I had to wait until I could talk (yes, I got that choked up. I was so happy) to tell my manager what just happened.
After work we all went to Subway for dinner then picked up my belongings. I think it is safe to stay that I have not had a sleep over with these guys in about 6 years. I was a lot of fun to spend the weekend with them for sure. Hayden even decided that he wanted to go to church with me Sunday morning. What a blessing that was too, we walked to church and we sat together in church. He did not want to go to the children's program, so he just sat with me. Asked questions when he didn't know something. It was an awesome experience. I never took him to church before, but I did take Detrick and Gavin with me before going to school.
God is so good, I missed these guys so much because it had been so long. Yesterday my sister came to out parents with her boys so we had them all together. Wonderful!
