A Welcome Surprise

After a six month deployment in Afghanistan my brother Anthony returned home to his family in Georgia this past week. As a family we had decided to not call him because we didn't want to infringe on time with his sweet wife Chelsea and handsome son Ethan. So the policy was we would wait until he called us and in the meantime send our love and well wishes via email, text, or blog. :-) Well, unfortunately I missed a call from my brother on Wednesday while I was at youth group and tempted as I was to call him back that evening - I stuck to the system and decided to wait for him to contact me again. Little did I know that he was able to make contact with Michael and plan an amazing surprise for me and my parents... In order to be here for little Alexandra's blessing at church Anthony, Chelsea & Ethan drove 19 hours. What a pleasant surprise! How lucky am I to have such a great hubby who can keep a secret and a great brother who would come all this way to surprise/support us AND a great sister-in-law who is willing to share her sweetheart with us so soon after getting him back!!! Love and thanks to you all.
