Last night, I gave mom and dad a HUGE surprise! I've been planning for a month to come home because I've been wanting to take care of a few things. My sister, Nicole, came to the Cedar Rapids airport to pick me up. We then headed for home. I was so excited to surprise them, hoping neither of them had a heart attack! We stopped to get gas on the way home because Nicole was almost out. I said we better have enough in case we have to go to the emergency room after going home! Adam called as we were about a half hour away, wondering when we were coming. He, too, knew about the secret and was waiting for us to come home.
Once we drove in the driveway, they heard a vehicle pull in. At first, mom thought it was Adam. She came to the door and saw Nicole with Naomi (a little girl that Nicole was watching). Mom was standing up on the entry way stairs. Dad was on his way up the basement stairs. I started to walk up the door. Their faces were priceless!! We had Nicole video because Jay wanted to see their reactions. Mom's jaw dropped and Dad's comment was "WHAT'S THIS?"
See for yourself...
It felt so good to get a hug from mom and dad. I haven't been home since last Christmas. For being a mommy and daddy's girl, that's a long time!!
I have the next week's agenda all planned out. One of my main goals is to go visit my friend, Denean. She is battling cancer and hasn't been doing well. I want to go visit and see how she's doing. Today, we are heading up to town. I need to exchange Jay's pants, buy a UNI tshirt, and get some school supplies. The big event for the week is going to the UNI vs. Iowa football game (that's why I need to buy a UNI tshirt). Nicole and I are going with some friends from Sioux Central. I'm really excited because I love watching football! Mom is keeping Luke on Friday and Monday, so I'll be here to play with him. I also have to go to the Traer house to pack up all of my school things. I brought home two empty suitcases to fill up and take back. My school room still isn't very decorated, so I need to take some things back. Other than that, I'm just here to enjoy my family!
I leave next Thursday to head back. Jay will come home the following week, and we'll be together again! This will definitely help the time to go faster!!

Gina-That video made me cry! So cool that you are home with your family. Also-on a sidenote-a got a "postcard" in the mail as staff at UNI and President Allen is having a "Salute to Service." You and Jay and Jay's dad are on the front in a picture! I'll save it for you!
