Surprises!!!

I love Fridays! I get off work an little early, and get to start spending my weekend with my boys. We had Justin's family over this past Friday night to play games and spend some time together. It was a great time. They left around 10pm and I was ready to go to sleep. As I finished getting ready for bed, Justin asked if I wanted to go lay on the couch with him. He said he was wide awake and wanted to watch TV for a while. So, I said okay and we headed for the living room. I fell asleep almost immediately and woke up around midnight. I asked him if we could go to bed but he said he was really "in to" this show and wanted to finish watching it. I had just closed my eyes to go back to sleep when my cell phone rang. I saw on the caller ID that it was my mom calling. I immediately thought something was wrong. Why would she be calling this late at night? I answered the phone and it was my youngest sister calling. She said, "will you come unlock the front door? I need to go to the bathroom." I said "What?" She repeated her question, and thinking she was confused and calling the wrong person, I said "Micaela, this is Kristi." She said, "I know. Just go unlock the front door." I made my way to the front door, and imagine my surprise when I saw my mom and sister standing on my front porch. They had driven 16 hours to come see us! Okay, who am I kidding? They drove 16 hours to come see Carter, and since we happen to be Carter's parents, they get to see us too! We had a wonderful weekend together. They get to stay with us for a few more days and I am going to take a few days off work while they are here. My whole family is such a blessing and I'm so thankful that my mom and sister made the effort to come and see us, even if they really only wanted to see Carter! :-) Thanks mom and Micaela!!!
