Surprise!!!

I was trying to find the printer area in the lounge at the hotel when my cell phone rang.

Another lady had just cut in line, which frustrated me, but the concierge noticed and put her in her place, nicely of course.

So, I looked at the phone and noticed it was my friend, Jenny, who had called.

We were hoping to meet up with her while in Seattle for the weekend, but didn't know when we'd even have a one-hour block of time to do it!

Well, I finally got my speech printed out, and called Jenny back.

She was asking where I was.

Ummm, in the hotel...

Where in the hotel?

In the computer lounge.  There's a FedEx sign on the window.

Oh!!!  The FedEx shop?

Ummm, I guess, maybe?

I'm right behind you!

(I looked out the window onto the Seattle street)

We finally realized she was in a different area of the hotel.

We waited at the elevator for a few minutes, then realized she was in the other elevator tower.

Jenny had arranged to attend the Gala since I announced we'd be the honored guests there a month ago, on FaceBook!

I had NO IDEA!!!

It was so fun to have Auntie Jenny at such a neat and special event.

She added just the right touch.  :)

Beautiful Jenny in her gorgeous dress from New York.

 Getting right to business...braiding Maggie's hair.

You know you're someone special when Maggie lets you do her hair.

She doesn't let ANYONE do her hair and keep it the way they style it.

 Anthony was wrestling Auntie Jenny.
