SURPRISE DAD & MOM I’M HOME!!!
That’s right my family had no idea I was coming home. They thought I was traveling for an additional week after the race ended. Little did they know I would arrive at 8pm on Wednesday night (72 hours from when I left Europe)!
Here is the video we got of my parents reaction and my aunt’s reaction.
My mom says the Holy Spirit told her I was coming home so she was not quite as surprise as I thought she would have been but she was still VERY happy to see me.
