A Mother's Day Surprise!
Current mood: excited

This year for Mother's Day I surprised my mother by coming home to Texas. She had no clue I'd be coming home and thought I'd be stuck in Illinois. Instead, I elaborately planned a way to get home without her knowing. It was great.

I drove home Friday, a 13 hour drive mind you! It was a good drive. I love driving and I love traveling and so it was greatness. I listened to music and sang the whole way down. Yep.. Anna Marie rocked it hard core from Illinois to The Lonestar State! I got in about 10:30 Friday night and crashed at my brother's place. The next morning, Sam called Mom and arranged having lunch with her. Hehe.. the plot thickens!! My brother and I drive to the predesignated restaurant, after I had bought flowers for Mom. Sam pulls in and starts talking with her since she's standing outside waiting, distracting her. I park a littler further away and start walking towards them. At first she didn't see me but then she saw my car and figured.. "wow that car looks familiar!" Then she spotted me. I do believe she burst into tears.

The moment was awesome. I had caught her totally off guard and unawares. We hugged. She cried. I was so happy to see her. Yay Mommy!
