Good and Exciting News Again! Here we go :)

     It was Thursday, February 16th at about 4:30 in the afternoon. I had just finished up with my daily mail route and was in the Marion Post Office soon to clock out. A text alert came to my phone and I saw it was from Jessica.  "Can you guys stop by tonight?" , was all it said. Well, Beth and I had both been sick all week and she was at home nursing Bronchitis. I replied with "What's up? Mom is sick today and I don't know if we can".  The reply from Jessica was,  "Hold on, I am sending you a picture".  When the  picture message came through I was excited to see Taylor with an ornery smile on her face. Immediately I read the t-shirt she was wearing. It read " I am the Big Sister".  Enough texting, I called Jessica immediately and asked her how long she knew and other details.  She said Matt, wanted to be sure I knew before Beth because with Taylor she knew weeks and weeks before me and kept it a big secret.  She also said Matt was the one sending me the texts. How funny!!  I told her I would get Mom there somehow and would be there soon.

     I got home and asked Beth if she was up for some pizza?  Jessica and Matt had invited us and thought she might not want to cook. (an out and out lie that was haha). I told her we would only stay long enough to eat and come home to rest ASAP.  We walked through the front door and Taylor was peeking around the corner. I told Beth " Oh yea, there really is no pizza!!" She read Taylors shirt and the congrats and smiles started. Great News after a long days work and a week of illness for us!
