Super Duper Surprise

About 2 weeks ago I had the biggest surprise of my life! My 2 sisters knew that I had been down in the dumps lately so they have been planning a trip to come and surprise me for over 2 months now. I had NO clue about it. Marina (lives in Vegas) flew into Dallas, TX and met up with my other sister, Mary. Then they flew into Columbia, SC together to surprise me. Here they are on the plane... My parents met up with them at Charwood Golf Coarse to use their car to drop off all of their clues for me. Mom and Pop ended up walking home. I don't know how I didn't notice them walking home.
But when Pop walked in the door he handed me this envelop, he said it was for me. What?
I looked at it and it didn't have my name written on it, so I asked,

"Are you sure this is for me? Where did you get it?"

He said, "out on the porch."

What? How do you know this is for me?

Don't worry its for you

On the porch? Who knows how long it had been out there? Somebody probably dropped it?

Papa rushing me, "Well, what does it say?"....

So here is where my adventure begins....(they took pics of them in action)

But low and behold it led me to the 2 best sisters ever! I was so touched that I cried. I have never felt so special in my life. Writing about it is making me relive the experience and I'm crying again. Gosh my family is awesome!
