The Hillbillys go out to eat!!

Well I wish it was exciting as I hoped it would be but it actually was kinda of aggravating, I mean the surprise went GREAT but it was everyone else that was the aggravating part! When my brother told us (actually he told my sis n law and then he told her to get me to help) he said that he wanted just the family, well I didn't know about that. Well by the time Sat night came there was like ohhhhhhhhh 20 people that was gonna show up, which James wasn't crazy about, well we got to the restaurant first and went in so we could set up where he was gonna hide, so our reservations was at 6pm, well they started seating us and they took us to this back room, well James was hiding in the bar part of the restaurant. Me and Jenn was trying to figure out the best way to present him, I came up with something along the lines of someone saying do a family picture and then I would say hey we cant do a picture with out James it just isn't right and then he would pop in and say some little wise crack. Then when I talked to James he said well why don't we get someone to pray and say in the prayer Lord please bring James home safely and when we all raised our heads he would be standing there and one of us would say something along the lines of WOW it worked!! Well neither happened, so while we are waiting around at the table everyone finally started drifting in and for some reason the waitress was under the impression that she didn't need to take our order until he got in there because she knew what was going on, well Jenn gotta a call from Brian (James's best friend) and said he was on the way so Jenn said well we can get him to bring him in and he can kinda fall in the crowd. Well at this point its around 630-645 so everyone is sitting around talking and Brian comes in with like 3 of his friends and Mom and Dad had their backs to them and they kinda turned and was talkn to Brian and I seen James walk in and I said Hey Brian who's that you got with you? So my Mom turns and I hear her mumble Man he looks just like James and she pushes the boy standing in front of them out of her way and James looks up at her and she turns and looks at me mouth all dropped to the floor and I smiled at her and she said It is JAMES?? Then she slaps my dad and say TERRY ITS JAMES lol my dad at this point is trying to remember a friend of Brian's named James and he sees my brother and I hear WHAT THE HELL?? and he turns and looks at me and at that point I'm crying and smiling at him, and they both jump up and just hug and kiss my brother. It was very exciting, Heather asked me if they cried and they didn't I think they was in so much shock that it really didn't hit them until the next day. My sister n law Jenn took a bunch of pics but she's been busy spending time with my brother that she hasn't had time to send them to me but as soon as she does ill post some so yall can see, she was constantly snapping when they seen him and I want yall to see the look on their faces it was priceless! So really there isn't much to say we finally got to order and eat but it was very loud so we couldn't really conversate or catch up but we have been the past few days, he's tryn to make his rounds to everyone and since all of us are working so late we haven't spent much time together, hopefully this weekend and next will have that opportunity. I am worried about him and want to sit down and discuss it with him, see when James went in the Army they told him that his hearing was bad, well I noticed Sunday when I was sitting BESIDE him on the couch that its gotten worse, I mean REALLY worse. So I'm just wandering if they can re-check him again, I'm scared for him to be over there and not be able to hear something or someone yell at him. So hopefully Ill get to talk to him this weekend or talk to someone about what he can do.

Anonymous had this to say:: I love a good surprise. I'm glad he's home for a short time. Enjoy your visit with him! My best friend is still over there, not sure when he'll be coming back either. What makes this time worse (he's been quite a few times) is that he's actually in the worst part (can't mention on the internet) and he's a cop!; 3/16/2007 4:21 PM
