Operation: Surprise, Part 1 (The End)

You may have noticed that I haven't blogged for awhile. Or maybe you didn't. Well, have no fear, I've secretly been blogging all week but I haven't been able to post it. Why? Because it would have compromised my mission.

I was in the Midwest all week for work, with the end game of ending up in Minnesota on Friday evening to surprise my Mom for Mother's Day.

During the week, however, I was working. I started in St. Louis then went to Quincy, IL, Des Moines, IA, Clinton, IA, Chicago and Milwaukee. It was a good week. I worked, I played, I enjoyed local brews.

I'm going to start by showing you the end of the week, then as the days go by and I have some time to edit down what I've written (it's long) I will post more.

So here we go. My parents were at a party last night so I was able to hang out with my sisters and their families until they got home. My brother-in-law, Marc, lured them downstairs where I was lounging on the couch.

Roll it!
