Psalm 118:17

I will not die, but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done.

Today I woke up in quite a bit of pain and it's my anniversary. Bummer! I called Ian to tell him happy anniversary and my brother in law, Shane, answered the phone. He said Ian was out running an errand. Which I thought was odd, but I said ok. I called him on his cell phone and it went straight to his voice mail, which was also odd. But, I really didn't thick much about it. About 10:30, Ian called me and said that he had sent me a gift and it should be arriving any minute. He just wanted to make sure that we were in the room. I couldn't figure out what else he was sending me because he already sent me flowers yesterday. About two minutes later there was a knock at the door. Mom opened the door and in walks Ian! My mom gasped and I couldn't see the door and didn't want anyone to see me because I was still in my pajamas and looked terrible. I finally looked up and there he was. I couldn't believe my eyes. My mom was already crying and I was soon to follow. The girls at work raised money, bought him a ticket yesterday and got him a room at this hotel. I was so excited I didn't know what to do with myself. Meanwhile, Maddie had her volleyball tournament at home that Shane and my sisters, nephews, Darlene and Shelby were at supporting her. And she got 2nd place! Woo!Hoo! I am completely overwhelmed by all of this. This is the best gift I have ever received! We have today until tomorrow at 11:00 and he gets on the plane again to go home. Thank you girls for all you have done for me! I will never forget this! I love you all!
