In less than an hour I will see my brother, Wesley, after not seeing him for 56 days!

At the end of July he moved far, far away from home to go to Seminary. It was a sad day when he left for multiple reasons. The number one reason being that he would be thousands of miles away from his “little peanut”, Little Bug. I hate that he is not around her like he used to be!

Those two are two peas in a pod.

But tomorrow morning Little Bug is going to see her Uncle!

Wesley is making a surprise visit to where we are for my cousin’s wedding. As we were driving along the highway today I text him and asked him how far he was from where the wedding would be this weekend.

When he told me 8 hours, I couldn’t stand the thought of being that close and not seeing him!

So, we started doing a little planning. Multiple texts along the highway (no, I was NOT driving!), a phone call in the Cracker Barrell restroom and by 3:00pm he was on the road headed this way.

My mom and dad have no idea he is coming!

As I was bathing Little Bug tonight before bed, I called Wesley to see where he was and what time he would be here. I told him if either of our parents walked in I would act like I was talking to Dave and say, “Okay, well, I’ll call you after I get Little Bug in bed.” Glad we made that plan because my mom walked in the bathroom while I was on the phone with Wesley.

I am so looking forward to being with my brother over the next 3 days.

But what I am looking forward to the most is seeing Little Bug wrap her arms around her Uncle and give him a BIG hug!
