Christmas Surprise

Oh, how we've had fun this Christmas! We had fun Christmas Eve surprising my mom and dad by showing up on their doorstep. When we orginially made plans for Christmas, Kevin was going to have to work right before and right after Christmas day, thus not allowing much time to travel. So, I was going to drive up with Stone (without Kevin) the day after Christmas. Well, a few weeks before Christmas, Kevin got news from his company that they were shutting down the week of Christmas. I took this opportunity to plan a little surprise for my parents.

After my endoscopy Christmas Eve morning, we drove up and ended up at their house around 7:30pm. The look on my mom's face when we walked in the door was priceless (too bad I didn't get to catch it on tape!). So, we got to spend some of Christmas Eve, Christmas day and a few days afterwards with my family. On Friday morning, (today) we left and drove to Greensboro, NC to visit with K's uncle Rob and Aunt Martha's home to spend the night and visit with some of the Hallquist clan. We've had a ball so far and Stone and Mercy were glad to be reunited! Ha! They are so funny.....when they see each other, even if it's only been 1 day, they act like they haven't seen each other in years.

Anyway, that's where we are presently and pictures of the festivities will be posted soon. As far as the endoscopy, it proved to show that I didn't have any ulcers (good news) but that my small intestine was a little irritated. Not sure what that's going to mean, but will find out in a few weeks, as they took a biopsy. Thanks to all who prayed!
