On our way to Louisiana James and I were talking about what we should do Sunday before we left. We were talking about going to the beach but than James said hey why don't we go and see Brooke, Tony and the little ones?? I said That is a great idea! They live right outside Jackson, Mississippi so we did have to detour a little more and added 3 hours to our trip but it was so worth it! Lily and Jake are 2 weeks younger than Shaley. I was so happy to see my biggie sissy and her babies as much as I was excited for her to see us and Shaley! We planned on leaving Sunday night and driving half way till we got tired and got a hotel room so the drive wasn't going to be that bad on Monday but we ended up just staying the night there and leaving early Monday morning. It was a very long day! We drove 8 hours and than I had to get to work to close. It was a long long day but so worth seeing them. I think with all that was going on though and being around our nephews Shaley and I are both now sick. So what we ended up doing is surprising them, they had no idea we were coming to see them. That is the best way to do things! We had a hard time finding their place due to their house not being on google maps or the gps so we had to stop at a gas station asking where their road was, no one knew what we were talking about so we found a cop there and asked him, he brought up their names and told us where to go. We finally made it and parked a little ways from their house so they couldn't look out the windows to see who was there. Tony answered the door completely surprised and don't really think he knew who we were at first haha. I asked him where Brooke was and he said in the kitchen, I went around the corner and the look on her face was priceless! She jumped and screamed and gave us a big hug. She kept telling us how shocked she was to have surprise her and actually pull it off. It was so nice seeing them all! They made us an amazing dinner. It was stuffed chicken, salad, chips, dip and broccoli. They were very hospitable. We had a great time though so I am going to share some pictures from our time with them...
