On that note, we planned for my sister Julie to come visit Charlotte for a long weekend over the 4th of July this year. So off to the airport I go to pick her up. I had been talking to her all week about the trip. I had been talking to her while she was driving ont the shuttle from Carlton to Minneapolis airport. I had been talking to her AT the airport before her flight. I had been talking to Dan who at the time, took up all the phone airtime so I couldn't talk to my Mom. (I didn't realize this).
I see Julie on the curb at the Charlotte airport. My heart is pumping. I am SUPER EXCITED. I am so happy to have her here to hangout, get in some boating fun, 4th of July, painting pottery but the best of all, for her to spend time with her nephew, Willy Dilly Bar (her name for Will :))
I am hugging her. "You look great Julie!" Yay. We are both really happy. I open my trunk to load in her luggage. THEN, out of no where, my Mom pops out from behind a cement pillar. She says, "Can you put these bags in your car too?" If you could only see the look of complete shock on my face. I am thinking, I cannot believe he pulled this off. Holy crap. I'm like, WHAT?! What are you doing here Mom?! Then I find out Rick and my Mom schemed this whole trip via telephone calls and secret code. He knew that I would see it on his email because I work for him. They totally did it, and I am shocked. THANK YOU RICKY! And THANK YOU MOM/DAN/JULIE for helping! :) So much fun. So not only did I get my sister for a long weekend Wed-Sat, I also got my Mom for an extra week after that! Awesome. That's Will's new word. Awesome. :)
