I had the BIGGEST surprise!

Been getting ready this whole week for my Pinning Ceremony last night....in the process, I've had to go get my Mother from northern Ohio, daughter in in a big thing at her school requiring lots of traveling time and lots of involvement, hubby's uncle passed away and tons of family stuff.....

As it got closer to time, as a matter of fact, the day before, I had to drive 45 minutes away to get to pinning practice.....

Tired and hot from the drive home, as I turned the corner on our street, a motorcycle was parked in my parking spot. No big deal. People standing in my yard, no big deal. As I got closer and parked behind this motorcycle, I noticed something odd....the plates said Georgia. Now, as you well know, I live in Indiana. A motorcycle with Georgia plates?

OMG! It was my brother standing in my front yard!:D

I ran and jumped and hugged so hard! (Hadn't seen my brother in a few years.....)

He came to see me get pinned...isn't that the greatest thing in the world? :kiss

While he was here, the kids go to know him, and we had a wonderful visit....

I just thought that was the best...my brother surprising me by coming to my Pinning.

He left this morning bright and early to get back to his family, but I was soooo proud to stand up and get my pin and have my brother watch.

Had to tell you all....I'm going to try and attach a pic of my Mom, myself and my brother taken night before my Pinning.....

Hope it works....

Julie :)

My brother and my Mom are the 2 that I could always count on....through thick and thin... especially Mom...my bro and I had a rough start, but it was such a welcome to see him after so long! And to have him be proud of ME for once (he's the perfect one...LOL!)

I absolutely adore my family......

Can you tell? :D:D:D:D:D

Julie I am so happy for you. What a beautiful family, I am such a sucker for happy endings. Enjoy your pinning.

congratulations! great picture. have a wonderful day!

Julie,

What a great family shot. I was just telling a younger nurse at work today that when you are an adult student the entire family is involved with your education. At my graduation in May my KIDS cried for me. It's the BEST reason to put off school until you're an adult-your entire family supports, cheers, encourages, and congradulates you. I'm so happy you had a special time with your mother and brother.
