This morning, I was having a really hard time getting out of bed. I've been so tired, and other than the huge cramp I got in my calf at 4am, I had been sleeping quite well last night. I didn't want to get up quite yet and face the day!
When I finally got up, I noticed a few things that were a little "off".
- The bathroom door wasn't propped open with the brick from Nauvoo (our door doesn't stay open unless you do.)
- A lamp in the living room was still on.
"Shannon, I have a surprise for you on the couch. It's ME! I can't wait to play with you this weekend!"
I ran into the living room, and who did I see?
My sister, Cherilyn!
Oh my goodness!
I cried.
My voice was very high-pitched.
I was so surprised!
I have the best family ever! This week I've missed them so much. I've wished they all lived closer. The fact that David would let Cherilyn leave their 5 kids (one being sick) for a few days so she could come play with her little sister means so much to me!
I love you, Cherilyn!

This is a great surprise. Have fun with your sister. It would have been great to see you at the Rex Lee Run. I need to take a hint from Cherilyn and come visit you.
I cried when I read this, too... I love your family. :)
Just so you know...I totally called the blog post title. I knew it'd be called that before I even read it :)
I love being part of surprises!!
I'm logged in on Shannon's blog at school with her. (She is such a fun teacher. All of the kids love her.) What a fun surprise for both of us! I can't wait to PARTY all weekend long!
You guys are awesome! Have a great weekend!!!
