YooooHoooo…Surprise!!
If you follow me on Facebook, you probably already know I just got back from a little trip. Where to?? Well, So Dak of course!
Before my Aberdeen peeps get in my business about not hanging out, this was a quick trip and a family-only trip kinda trip. It was rushed, but casual still.
Movies, dogs, fields, food, grilled burgers, ticks (yes, ticks), gut laughs, group self portraits, mud, dog hair, coffee, sleeping in…that kinda weekend.
Get the 6 Secrets to a Simpler Mom Life
This was our first time back since October’s big move. I thought the goodbyes would be more bitter, I thought more would have changed, I worried there would be awkwardness. It was decidedly opposite of all that. Some happy tears at the airport mixed with excited expectation talk of their visit to NC in a few weeks were more the topic on the floor.
So here’s your Happy Day Challenge #6: Surprise Somebody!!
Send flowers to a friend, show up in the lunchroom at school for lunch, leave a little gift on your hubby’s pillow (which I will not be doing because my hubby forgot everything I told him to do while I was gone…ahem), do something fun like that!
So do this…it will be super fun!!
Also, a Dad note: he had appointments at his oncologist yesterday…and guess what? There’s no cancer after all!!! Surprise!!!
Maybe Doc is secretly doing the Happy Day Project, ya think?? 🙂
Just remember to link up your direct link, not just your blog url. Also, if you could kindly add the Happy Day button from the sidebar, I’d love you forever. Thanks! 🙂

Your hair in that first picture is adorable!! Your brother looks just like you (as in, the boy version). The video made me squeal. I love that Jack kept crawling! 🙂
Oh, love this post! That video was indeed tear inducing in the best kind of way! So happy for all of you to hear the news on your Dad!
I would love to participate in the linky, *but* both my mother and grandmother are in the hospital. I have been pulling stuff out of the vault to blog about this week! But I am getting a lot of reading done.
Please pray for them. They caught a terrible GI virus, and both were dehydrated. I have to wear a mask, gown, and gloves while in the room with them, and then take it off before leaving so it does not spread to the other patients. It is very contagious!
