SURPRISE!!!

So little did my best friend know that she was about to get the surprise of her life! A few months ago I texted my best friends husband to talk to him about possibly coming down to Florida to visit them and Surprise his wife Ilana.  Steve, Ilana and Olivia (3 weeks older the Soley) moved to Florida this past December for Steve's Job, and before that we hung out at least 4 times a week! So you can imagine that we really miss them!  So Steve and I planned this trip with out Ilana knowing! Steve is one of the most generous people that I know, he flew me and Soley down there to surprise his wife for their anniversary.  Ilana just had her second child 9 weeks ago Grayson and you can imagine it's been hard moving and having a baby all at once.  So Soley and I packed our bags after being back from Canada exactly 7 days and headed to Florida.  The trip getting there was pretty crazy. We had two flights one from Ky to ATL and ATL to Orlando.  Our first flight was delayed about 40 min causing us to barley make our connection and once we did board the plane our plane had engine trouble while we were on the runway and we sat there for 1.5 hours and then had to get off.  We then went back into the airport and waited about a hour for another plane and finally got on that and right before we were to take off another engine light!!! So we sat on the runway for another hour and they were able to fix it and we finally took off and made it.  So even with being 4 hours late we still were able to pull of the surprise.  And much to my surprise Soley is the best little traveler, not ever a issue!  So check out this video below, it was priceless!

Overall it was a AMAZING trip. Jon also was able to join us for the last 4 days, it was so much fun having us all down there together, like old times. We were gone for 10 days and I think that it was a little too long, but I am glad that we got to see them! We really do miss them and wish we lived closer.  The girls had so much fun, but by the 8th day they were each ready to have their space back, but I think we can all understand that.   While we were there we went to the pool, water parks, bounce places and so much more! A huge thanks to the Pirrone's for a AMAZING 10 days.  We can't wait to have you stay with us in October! See you then!

So believe it or not we are only home for a little bit and then we head to the beach with my parents! I am really looking forward to my time at home, and also our trip to the beach! Who does not love the beach!

P.S. I got a email back from our social worker today.  Our papers were submitted in June and we are still waiting for approval. She said it would probably be a few more weeks.  So exciting! Other big news coming soon...
