Happy Birthday Surprise!

Melissa visited Brenna in NC for a few days over Melissa's birthday weekend. Melissa arrived back in Portland around 11:30 PM on Tuesday. Tom and I went to pick her up. Brenna had sent me HER itinerary for her trip to Portland next week. I kept on mentioning that we'd be back at the airport NEXT Tuesday night since that's when Brenna was due to arrive. I was waiting by the luggage carrosel thing and I saw "Melissa" coming down the escalator. I thought "wow, Melissa is looking more and more like Brenna everyday" and then I looked at the person next to "Melissa" and it was Melissa. I was tired...I had worked all day and it was almost midnight. It finally hit me that it was BRENNA! My whole family knew all about this and kept it a big secret. I don't know that I've ever been so surprised in my whole life! I didn't suspect a thing. I had a wonderful birthday (in spite of the evil Jean) with all three of my girls. I don't think Brenna has been home for my birthday since she was a senior in high school. 1995-96. You know what? Who cares about Jean....her kids don't even like her and I've got the best kids EVER!
