Chris and I surprised Natalie and Austin and came with his parents to Dodgeville, WI for Cooper's baby blessing. Natalie was anxious to pick her parents up from the airport but all of us and baby wouldn't fit in her small car. So we decided to rent a car and follow Natalie and her parents and at some point, drive up along side her, waving with huge smiles. The only problem was Natty's crazy driving and deciding to take the scenic route. So the map we had pulled up on GPS wasn't the same route. Hence the reason Pops had to stage an intestinal problem at Mcdonalds just to kill time so we could locate them. Soon enough, we were following right behind her, driving like gangsters with our seats back, with the worry she'd spot us! Luckily it was raining cats and dogs, which made it impossible to see us. So after following her and losing her for about 30 mins, we were finally right behind her again and decided it was time to make our appearance...so we drove up next to her but Chris wasn't quite ready and just kept driving! I, of course, had my nervous/excited laughter going on. So after some debate, we let her pass us and kept at her pace until she decided to look over...I wish we got her expression on video! It was the whole jaw dropping, both hands over the mouth, straight out of the movie expression. Hilarious!! We thought she was going to crash. Luckily, she did not :) I'm not sure I was able to make it sound as fun as it was...but it was so fun! Oh and afterwards, we found out that when we past her the first time, she saw my profile and thought 'hey, that girl kinda smiles like Christy' but felt dumb to say it out loud.
Now, we're just enjoying each others company and seeing what Dodgeville is all about. In this picture, we're at the Pharmacy corner store on Main St, enjoying phosphates, milkshakes and malts :)
