So this weekend has to be at the top of the list for firsts.
First time I rode on a wave runner. We went with Nathan Saturday afternoon.
First time to Hyrum Dam. That is where we went wave running with Nathan.
First time to have Jessica, Nate's girlfriend, visit our home (currently under construction) and get to know her better. She's awesome.
First time we saw Monet, who is nearly three, and the daughter of Anneli (my niece) and Frits Grader (her husband). They live in Perth, Australia and came to Logan to visit Grandma Eva and our family. Also visiting was Kaeja, their 16 year old daughter, and Austin, their 11 year old son.
First time for their family to go wave running and I believe they really had fun.
First time I gave Frits and Austin rides in the Corvette.
First time for the Graders to stay over. As Frits said, "we're on holiday." We had a great visit and so glad they could stay overnight.
First time I was totally surprised by my whole family. . .(they all knew about the surprise).
I was planning to pick Staci up from the airport Tuesday evening (the 15th) from London.
Curt and Megan had invited us over for a BBQ Sunday evening (13th) to celebrate Staci's birthday and skype with her. At this point, I thought Staci was in England.
So after my family history center shift was over, we left for Bear River City. Things were a little strange but I didn't question anything, I even thought it was strange we took the minivan to BRC. When we arrived at Curts, Craig jumped out the car and started getting his camera out. Curtis opened the front door and gave me the funniest look, and I just kept staring at him and thought, OK, what's going on.
At that moment I turned and saw Staci. Well the rest is history and on film because I just screamed, and started hugging her and crying and couldn't believe the whole scene. It was quite surreal. I went into shock. It was such a great surprise. I was so relieved that Staci was safe and home at last. Well I have no pictures, because they are all on Craig's camera.
What a great weekend of firsts. We will reminisce this experience for a long time to come.

Priceless!
Wish I could have been there to see it. I'll just have to use my imagination! Can't wait to see everyone in a couple weeks!
Welcome home Stacy!!! Your weekend sounds really fun, isn't it great when your family can pull one over on you?
The Stacy-surprise was an amazing thing your family did for you...but getting you on a wave runner was probably life changing. I'm glad you got to have both experiences!
