This past weekend, we went to down to surprise Tammy for her 39th birthday.
We (Cathi, Mark, Lynse, Kristen, Brent, Brian & I) planned this out a month for this… and this is what happened:

the best was when you “expected” to see Brian and me at the door… and lynse and kristen were there too. you did the double take! YAY!!!
shuffle dance – the dance i did at the stegall’s while we were waiting to surprise you.
brent & brian kiss – i don’t know. guess they missed each other too?
brent & brian clothes – um… i really don’t know.

LOVE the soundtrack!
The people are kinda OK too.
This kind of thing doesn’t make it any easier for Diane and I to realise we’ve not really met all of you yet…

Same for us. Definitely.
But there is something v.special about taking relationships that next step too. Bonds of friendship tightened, etc, etc.
I’ll start getting all philosophical here if I’m not careful
