a Sweet Surprise

My baby sister is currently serving the United States Navy and is stationed in Hawaii. My family misses her terribly, and there isn't a day that goes by when she isn't in our thoughts and prayers. We were blessed to have her home for Christmas last year, and thats when this photo was taken. :)

I wish she was closer while Baby W was cooking. She is near and dear to my heart and having so far away is hard ... for us both.

Today, while getting ready to step out of the door I got a phone call asking if I would be home for a half hour for a delivery. Scratching my head I agreed to be home, and went about wondering what the delivery was, who was it from, and why was it for me.

Imagine my surprise when I opened the front door to find a very nice man holding these :

even the pretty vase is pink!!!!

I LOVE the polka dotted bow. Perfect for a scrapbook page ;)

AND

this yummy box of assorted chocolates. YUM!!!!!!!

I couldn't wait to read the note ...

BRING ON THE TEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't stop crying.

Oh sweet baby, your Aunt Jessica is the BEST! I can't wait for you to get to meet her, probably closer to your birthday. Then, we can all celebrate that she is home again for another visit.

I love you Jesser.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!
