We arranged dinner with our parents to break the big news in November on the 13th. I don't think they saw it coming, but our mom's swear that they new something was going on. Haha. We all met at Rudy's BBQ and made sure it seemed very casual (so that they wouldn't suspect anything). I brought a bag of goodies in with gifts for each of our parents, but that could have been one thing that made them think something was going on. As we sat down to eat, I was shaking in excitement, I wanted Joseph to hurry up and blurt the good news, but of course our moms kept asking us questions about our week, what's been going on, hows work, etc. We couldn't get a word in for what seemed like an eternity! Finally, something led into Joseph being able to share the news. He presented it as if he had a job offer. We figured that would be the best approach to catch them off guard. They all new eventually we wanted to head back to Bryan, so we thought if we led them that direction, then they would definitely surprised. He said, "So, I got a job offer...." Both of our moms said, "really?" Joseph then proceded to tell them, "yep, to be a daddy!" Everyone looked at us in shock. They couldn't believe their ears! I distinctively remember my mom saying, "does this mean what I think it means?!?!" Yep sure enough, they were going to be grandparents! They were so excited and hugs were going around the table!
The next day, is when we announced the good news to our youth kids and the church. It was truly a great weekend!!! :D
