Sorry my photos are out of date order... the producer in me would love to fix this, but I don't know how!
These photos are from one of the greatest surprises I've ever had!!!! My best friend in the world, Brooke... aka Auntie B... shocked me (see photos Ben took when Brooke rang the doorbell!) with a surprise visit around the end of April. Brooke and I have been true friends since I was 4 years old... and our amazing friendship has blossomed with every new chapter of our lives.
Here's the story... Ben told me about a million times that I needed to sign for a very important package that was supposed to be delivered on Friday at 2pm. He also told me that a work friend was coming in town and wanted to stay with us instead of a hotel. To be honest, this confused me... because what single guy wouldn't want to stay in a hotel compared to a house with a baby who wakes up a the crack of dawn? But I cleaned up the house and changed the sheets of the guest bed. Because I was cleaning the house... and for many other reasons that all new moms know... I was still in my pajamas with fuzzy teeth and unbrushed hair when 2pm rolled around. To make things even better, when the doorbell rang at 2pm, I was breastfeeding Jackson. You know how the UPS guys ring the doorbell and practically race away... so I pulled Jack off and ran to the door, so I wouldn't miss Ben's "very important package."
That's when I had the second biggest shock of my life (the first being when Ben proposed!) There at my door, with a huge smile and open arms, was the person I consider a gift from God... the person who knows me better than almost anyone else... my best friend Brooke!
You know on scenes from American Idol or Publishers Clearing House, when people are so happy that they literally fall to their knees? I often mock them because who really falls to their knees? Well mock no more... because I was so overcome I started shaking and, you guessed it, fell to my knees. Luckily Brooke took Jackson out of my arms right before! I just missed Brooke so much, all my emotions erupted when I saw her and knew I didn't have to say, "I wish I could give you a hug right now," because she was right in front of me, with her arms around me.
We had a magical time... talking and eating and laughing and crying and shopping. All the things friends love to do!
Thank you, Brooke, for loving me and thank you Brooke and Ben for giving me one of the best surprises of my life!
