So this is how it begins, there is 7 of us girls who have know each other since junior high and we also all worked together at ARUP until one by one some of us started moving out of state, we have Nicole who lives in N. Dakota, Treasure in Arizona, Chandra in Georgia, Mandy in Missouri, Missy in Idaho and that leaves Crystol and I that are the only two that live in Utah. We planned like 4 or 5 months ago that we wanted to make a surprise visit to Nicole for her 30th b-day and it happened that we all could make it for her surprise(at the last minute Chandra couldn't make it). So it was planned that Treasure and Mandy would fly out and Missy, Crystol and I would drive(Ya way crazy) we had this all worked out with Nicole's husband and friends.
Well to make the surprise even better Nicole's mom and step-dad were going to ND as well and were going to cover as the surprise so she had no idea it would be us, we all meet up in Carrington and stay at a hotel and got ready while her mom distracted her and had Nicole at a Karaoke bar with all her friends, we got the call that it was time to surprise her so we packed all up and brought her favorite mint brownie's and went to the bar walked in singing happy b-day(her back was turned from us) but it took her a second to hear us and then turned around and freaked out and started crying(she NEVER cries) it seriously was the best surprise and couldn't have gone any better. We stayed at the karaoke bar until 1:00 am having the time of our life, the rest of the weekend we just hung out and enjoyed our time together. Then us three girls made the crappy drive home, but we all made it home safe and had the best weekend ever.
