Why Aren't The Weekends 5 Days Long?

Today was my first day back to work after a long weekend. My mom and I surprised my brother by showing up for his surprise 30th birthday party in Wisconsin. There was a lot of anticipation for the surprise by me, my mom and my brother's girlfriend, Katie. But we were able to pull it off without him knowing.

My brother is so hard to surprise. He usually can pick up a gift, shake it and guess correctly what it is. It is really annoying. :) But the look on his face definitely convinced me that he had no clue. That is the best feeling.

Since my mom and I live far away from Wisconsin, we don't get to peek into his life very often. We just hear names, but don't know faces. I was able to visit my brother more often when I lived in Illinois, but since I have moved to Pennsylvania, I have not been back up there.

We also met Katie's family for the first time. They couldn't have been more welcoming. Her mom greeted us with hugs when we walked into the restaurant before my brother's arrived for his party. It was such a nice feeling.

It is hard to see such a great weekend come to end, but now only 3 more days until the next one!
