"What's for dinner?"

That's what I've been asking Renee for a couple months now! I would also say things like "I'm coming right over or I'll see you soon" etc. In her head I was teasing and wishing, but I knew I was going to surprise the crap out of her in Oct!! It was so hard to keep the secret, especially when she was sad and lonely! I wanted to cheer her up and say "I'M COMING!!!" but I knew if I surprised her it would be AWESOME, and it was! She was so shocked and I'm so glad I recorded the moment! I love your "ugly cry face" Renee :) How it happened was I went to WA to attend a Scrap-a-thon weekend with Pat (see previous post) and since I was just a few hours away, I decided to make a surprise visit to Portland where the Miles just moved to this summer. From the airport I hopped a cab and gave him directions. I knew Renee was home cause I called from the cab to see what she was up too! I pretended I was at Wal-Mart and had to go when we approached her neighborhood! I'm sure the cabby thought I was a freak when I asked to be dropped off a block away, but whatever............he smelled like cheese! So, down the street I walked lugging my suitcase and PRAYING she wasn't looking out the window! I finally found her house, dropped my bag in the drive, rang the bell and hid from sight! The surprise was so amazing that we had to do it for the boys and Greg again when they got home! It was sooooooo fun to be with my Miles family again, even if it was for a very short time! Thanks for letting me crash your place! I miss you and love you lots!!!!!!!!!!!!
