Oregon Surprise Trip



This last weekend Lerin and I flew to Oregon to surprise Jennifer for her birthday. It was awesome. We flew in Friday the 29th of May; early in the morning. Renn picked us up at the airport and then dropped us off at Char's house. Char is one of Jenn's really good friends and she is also Lerin's future sister - in -law. We got ready at Char's and then headed to the salon. At the salon they helped us get set up so we looked like we were getting facials. When Jenn walked in they had her sit right across from us to get her pedicure that Renn set up for her. Char then said the magic key phrase and Lerin and I popped up took our towels off our faces and yelled surprise!!!! It was great. Jenn sat there in silence. Jenn had absolutely no idea. Jenn thought that I was in Vegas visiting a friend, and she thought Lerin had to be in Boise for the weekend. We had a great time. I also got to see my nephews and neice; Chandler, Evan, and Elise. I hadn't seen them since Thanksgiving. I miss them so much. I love being an aunt and I adore my neice and nephews. Elise spent all weekend entertaining us and making us laugh. She is only 18 months. We had so much fun spending time with Jenn and her family it was hard to leave, but I missed Collin and the kids so much. Collin was great and kept the kids all weekend by himself. He is the best. He must of known that I needed this as much as Jenn needed to see us. I love my family so much I am glad that our friendships continue to get stronger over the years.
