My best friend is Scottish. We met when we were 5 and I was living there. We were in the same class. We've stayed friends ever since. Well, she's made a surprise to come see us. I had no idea. She had said that she would try to save and come visit next summer, and we completely believed it. Apparently she has been planning this visit since last August. She was doing her MA and I guess she managed to save a bit to come see us. I came home from picking up my two youngest from daycare, and she was here! I thought I was dreaming at first. It took me a few minutes to realize she was here. My kids were really happy to see her too. She'll be here for about three weeks. I'll definitely enjoy having her here.

Glad to read that all went well. But such surprises can backfire. What if you hadn't been there for one reason or another?

That's true. It could have backfired, but thankfully it didn't.

I think that is awesome that she surprised you like that! I hope you two have a great time catching up and enjoying each other's company! But one question: did she coordinate everything with your husband or with any of your family members? I mean, what if she would have come all this way to visit you, and you were away on vacation somewhere? haha

We'll have a great time for sure. She coordinated things with my sister-in-law. Even my husband didn't know. But they managed to make it work and surprise us.

@moffittjc I'm sure we will. Besides for the moment we can't really go on trips and such, mainly due to school and money. So it worked out that she managed to come down.
