Do you know how hard it is for a blogger to keep a secret? Incredibly hard, friends. Especially when the secret keeper is a.) me and b.) when the aforementioned secret keeper is as crazy excited about the secret as I was/am!
My secret?
I’ll be home for Christmas!! Cue: Christmas music and angels singing. Hallelujah! About a month ago, my younger brother called and said he wanted to fly me home as a surprise for my Mom. And, dear old Mom {well, not old!} reads this here little ole blog, so I couldn’t mention it. And, I couldn’t Facebook it. Or Tweet it. Or mention it in passing. Ha!
And even better: being home on my birthday for the first time in four years. Yippee!!
I flew out of Little Rock early Sunday morning, watched the sunrise over the wing of an American Airlines plane, and landed in Grand Rapids early in the afternoon. I spent a lovely evening with my neice and nephew, enjoyed dinner with the family, and even enjoyed some crafting with Lani. The perfect start to my very own Christmas vacation! {Speaking of vacation, can you believe my boss actually approved a ten day vacation in December? When I work in retail? Over Christmas? I’m one lucky girl, I tell ya!!}
That is so awesome!! I'm so happy for you that you get to be with your family! Enjoy every second…and happy birthday!
aww yay!!! how exciting! Was your mom soooo surprised?! hope youre having a wonderful birthday, xo!
That was a great secret! I'm sure your mom was really excited, have a great time enjoying your family.
