Chris and I did something that we have never done in the 5 Years of our marriage...We were SUPER spontaneous and took a VERY QUICK trip to Arizona. We had talked about it a for a couple of days and decided no. Friday came around and I talked to Chris on the phone and we bought it up again deciding if we wanted to go and again decided no Chris called back at 12 and said I think we should go...We are leaving at 4. So I packed the girls and the car and the minute Chris walked in the door we got into the car and drove. It got late and we wanted to push all the way to flagstaff....well that didn't happen so we finally stopped in Page. We went to the first hotel and they said they had nothing and they had just called around for a couple just before us and pretty much the whole town was booked. She went into the back and came back and said, "we just had a cancellation..." I was dying. It was midnight and we were exhausted. We slept good, got up and continued another 4 hours. We met up with everyone at a restaurant and MIMI was in SHOCK we would drive all that way for her birthday. We had a surprise party for her on Saturday night, Sunday we went to church with Mark & Kathleen, and had dinner with Jerry & Colleen. We decided to stay an extra day to hit a Diamonbacks game. It was fun to be with family and get to know everyone better. The drive home was LONG with the girls...but it was worth the trip. Mylie and Mimi would read every morning. It was sweet to see them together.
Finally Arriving
