Surprise Party

August started with a surprise trip home to Puyallup to surprise my brother, who was returning with his family from a surprise trip (for him) to Alaska.  I was able to get to Puyallup about 15 minutes after they arrived at Mom's, so it was very fun (for me) to surprise him!  Haha  He did a good job keeping his excitement under wraps.  That night, I'd planned a surprise party with 4 of his best friends from school, starting with Jack, friend since Kindergarten, to Karl, who became a good friend since graduation.  All are great guys and they had fun laughing and talking for hours.  One has a college freshman, one has a 2 year old, and it was fun to see them all in the role of Dads, yet all having a great throwback time to their good old days.
We also were all able to go to a Church Convention together and have some good times with even more friends.  It was special to be home for all of this.
