Anne!

I got a huge shock last month when my best friend Anne came down for a surprise visit! She and Ed had cooked up this surprise in secret, and I had absolutely no idea! Ed had me believing that his cousin Joe was coming down to surprise his family, so here I thought I was being sneaky and keeping a secret from them. We went to meet "Joe" at the airport that morning, and we're standing there watching people come down the escalator, and because I'm staring intently waiting for Joe to arrive, I didn't even see Anne until she was standing right in front of me and Ed said, "Who's that?". "It's Anne!!" I couldn't believe it, I was so shocked that it took me more than a few minutes to comprehend that she was here and that Joe was actually not coming! Anne and I had lots of fun girl time (oh how I miss you, Anne!), including a nice little trip to the shopping mall where we barely made it in the door before we had each purchased a new pair of shoes. She also had some time to get to know Ed and his family, and as the pictures show, we had lots of fun! Thank you so much, Anne, for the greatest surprise! I love you!!
