A Surprise Homecoming

Thursday night as i was driving to Olsburg to visit a friend, i was thinking about how much i wished my sisters were home, especially for this week as it is my volleyball senior night and our last home game of the season. On my drive home, i decided to call up my sister, Anna, and chat a bit. We talked for awhile, mostly about what she had been up to and how busy she is being an RA and a senior in college in South Carolina. I missed her so much. Out of all my siblings, we are probably the closest in relationship and we are so much alike. Being 23 hours away makes things just a little difficult. We talked and talked and finally said goodbye. Little did i know that it wasn't goodbye for long! 

Friday morning i did my usual routine, but when i came home from workout, mom told me we were going to go to a pumpkin patch with my little nephews. It sounded like fun to me. I quickly took a shower and we left. After an hour or so of painting pumpkins and making crafts, we went to Panera to have some soup on that chilly day. I walked in to my dad and brother with their phones out taking a video of me. It was kind of strange. I didn't even know they were going to be there, but okay! Looked like fun! They were acting pretty strange, and told me to look under the umbrella in the corner because my little nephew was hiding from me. I picked up the umbrella and out jumped Clark....and...ANNA! I was so shocked, i didn't know what to say! I almost dropped my little niece i was holding. After many questions and hugs it became real.. she was actually there! Now it all made sense why everyone had their phones out taking a video. :) My whole family had known about it for a few weeks but she wanted to surprise me and come up this week for my senior night, my dad's birthday, my niece's birthday, and an alumni volleyball game she got to play in. It worked out well and i loved the surprise! She doesn't fly out until Wednesday, so it gives us plenty of time to catch up. :) I was so thankful for the time i have gotten to spend with her so far, and i look forward to more time. Overall, it was a great weekend and i could not have asked for a better surprise!
