This day was one of the best day's ever. We had set up a surprise bridal shower for Mandy in Reno under the disguise of having a family portrait done with the whole entire family. This would be a plan that would take super human powers to do since my family is so large and the logistics of it would be a nightmare. So we had everyone met us at my mother in laws house and we came up in two separate cars. We had her brother drive them all up and told him to take his time and go get gas and go to the store and what ever until we txtd him. Later Mandy would say that she was on him about getting to grams house so that they would not be late but no matter what she said he was dragging his feet. Well we got everyone ready and and then sent a message to her brother telling him to come. So here we all are sitting in the house waiting for them to come when they pull up. I am so excited that I cannot sit down and so I walk outside to say hurry........grams upset that you all are so late. Her expression was priceless she said, well tell your son.....he was dragging his feet it's his fault not mine! So into the house we walk and she is bombarded with "SURPRISE" and she stops and is staring at everyone trying to wrap her head around what is going on looking at all the people and just standing there. Then she said "Hi" still standing in shock. We all start laughing and I am realizing that she is still not understanding what is going on so I say "its your bridal shower" and she said "What? no pictures?" we all laugh again and I realize that she is in so much shock that I had to make her sit down and had someone bring a glass of water to her. We really have a large family and they can be overwhelming sometimes so when I ask are you okay? she said "So we are not having family pictures?" More laughter. No sweetheart I said this is a party for you. It really was a great surprise and she was so happy. Then once she started to settle down a bit she became more relaxed and less stressed. I didn't realize that her brother had made her so agitated by being late that she was upset. Poor thing going from high stress to surprise to realization to happiness all in the space of ten minutes was a little much on her but she was a great trooper as always.
