Surprise!

August 5th (after some much needed sleep...)

Misty, mom and I just pulled off the best surprise ever! Nikki didn't know we were even thinking about coming up! During our drive she got on facebook and asked where I was

and we played it off. I told her I just hadn't been on much now that Derrick has Skype, and she believed me. (It was partially true, I haven't been as addicted as normal now that I don't have to constantly wonder if my husband is on there or not.) I even called her from mom's house this morning on my cell phone and told her we were heading to the lake! Around noon we met Misty and Evan in Tekoa (It was so great to see them again! My nephew grew about a foot!) and we walked (have crouched so we wouldn't be seen) to Nik's house. We had to stop half a block away because we could see her outside, we felt like Mission Impossible spies! Darting across the road, crouching under windows, it was awesome! Mom went in the front door to keep her in the living room while we went to the back door and put Cael inside the house. I told him "Go find Aunt Nikki" and off he went! We rushed behind him as soon we heard "What are you doing here? What is he doing here???" There was crying and lots of hugs, it was amazing. I don't think we will ever top it. Surprise Nik :) Later that night Faith and I took her to the ER because she started having contractions...we figured we better tell her about the baby shower we had planned instead of surprising her again!
