We love surprises! Shane's brother just moved from Missouri to Ohio and Shane's parents flew out to help with the move. Since they'd be driving through Illinois to get to their new home, Shane and I devised a super secret plan to meet them when they stopped for lunch and surprise Jill and Lonny (Shane's parents). We let Todd and Tam in on our mission so that everything would go smoothly.
Here we are in Chipotle...Jill and Lonny are still trying to grasp running into us 3 hours from our home. It was awesome! We got there a few minutes before them and sat at a table to wait. They walked in and didn't notice us until Shane waved. Lonny didn't see at first, but we thought Jill was going into shock. She just stood staring at us without saying a word for about a minute and then the waterworks began. By that time we'd gotten Lonny's attention and a similar reaction. It was so fun!
We loved seeing everyone, even though it was for a short time. Thanks Todd and Tam for taking time out of your long drive to let us visit!

A HUGE "thank you" to Shane & Meri & Molly and to Todd & Tamara.... I've never been so suprised in my live. When I first saw Meri, Shane and Molly sitting at the table, I thought....What a coincidence that they would be in the same restaurant that day..... THey really made our day..
THanks again to everyone....
We sure love you all.
Dad, LJ, Grandpa
Wow...that was the best surprise ever!! I couldn't believe my eyes...was it really you sitting there! It was really great to be able to have you there and Todd and Tam and kids! It's times like this that will help keep us close, even though a few miles keep us apart!
Love you lots!
Jill
