The whole time driving to the hotel, I kept asking if we would have time to change our clothes, or take a shower before we met Tori and Suzanne. The answer was "no". So I resigned myself to making a bad impression on everyone that day. We arrived at the wonderful Glenwood Suites, where Carrie had reserved rooms, at no cost to us. (Betcha wish she loved you as much as she loves us) We saw Carrie first. Carrie is one person that you can meet over and over, and she'd still be excited to see you. She has a smile you can't forget, and the way she says your name...well, maybe she just says my name all special like.
Then we went into our room and met Suzanne and Tori. Both of whom wee waiting to adorn us with gifts. Tori has a dazzling smile, and beautiful eyes. She's funny to boot. Suzanne is one of those people that would listen to you even if you were telling the most boring story ever, and still compliment you. AND she get's dressed before she eats breakfast!
So, after a bit of small talk, Tori tells us to come in the bedroom and open the closet.
Tori: No, just open it
NCS: Someone's going to jump out, right?
Tori: (laughing) No, just open it
NCS: Noo, I don't want to
Carrot: I'm going to open it (I thought it was decorated with balloons)
Annie: Carrot will open it!
Carrot: (Surprised) AH! (takes a minute to register as someone comes out of the closet) (High pitched Screaming) AHHHHHHHHH! (Something unintelligible) It's MIllie!
We hug
ANnie gasps, puts her hands to her mouth, and starts to happy cry
Millie grabs us and we group hug.
Millie then hugs everyone.
Total shock.
Millie rode TWENTY hours on a BUS to Utah, then rode with Suzanne and Tori to Colorado. What a sacrifice. Millie is a person who will like you when no one else likes you. She will sit by you on the couch and tell you she likes you. Even if you don't believe it. I wish I had a MIllie in Elementary school. *sigh*
Anyhoo, if you're wondering how I remember how Millie came out of the closet, well, lets just say, when people come out the closet, you remember it.
After all this, we decided to go over to Dairy Queen and eat, because by then, it was almost 8 p.m.
Elastic and I were the last to order, and she asked, "What are you going to get? I'm getting a chili dog. I'll get you something."
The lady just met me, and she's buying me food already. No wonder I love her.
"Hmmm, you're having a chili dog. I guess I'll get one."
Little did I know she had a mission. She wanted to fill me up with beans.
Hey look, it's a picture of me, with my eyes open. That's not easy to do.

wow, you've had a busy day writing all of this. i love that picture of you three. is that millie in between you two? a chili dog from dq, you guys are brave.
Acutally Aubrey, I just type fast. I got back from helping my brother move to South Everett, talked to Elastic for an hour while I was grocery shopping. Got home, changed diapers, fed the baby, put everyone to bed, then typed this up.
Shew. For some reason, I feel like I have to tell everyone all the details about everything now. Well, not EVERYthing. ;)
ahhh....another beautiful moment for me to basque in....
I'm sorry if you're sick of telling it.....
I'm LOVING it still.
So please don't stop until you've told us every last detail!
The you can continue writing more brilliant posts like you always do.
You're even covering the trip brilliantly. Thank You.
All Three ya'll got dimples! Dang!
Loving it. Keep it coming Carrot!
MY ARMS! MY ARMS! MY HAIRY GORILLA ARMS! Maybe it's time to see if I can get a King Kong Special down at the waxing salon.
This was my favorite post, even if you did reveal my secret plan to load you up on flatuelent beans so I could keep you all to myself. Millie kept complimenting me, complementarily. No money was exchanged for the compliment services provided. I want to frame this picture....after I edit out my arms.
I know Millie fairly well -- I can envision the closet incident.
carrot, you look so young and sweet, a little like mary Lou rettin
Even though I am insanely jealous... and with each post I get more and more so... I will still comment. Cause I like you and stuff. Even though, right now, I'm glaring at my screen. A lot. Sigh
HEY! I didn't know we were allowed to post pics of you. I SOOOO would have loved to show off your cute dimples. The only dimples I have are on my, uh, other set of cheeks.
You're adorable!
Uh, Jean? I believe you think I am Millie.
Unfortunately, I am not. Millie is in the middle.
Tori? You have to have approved pictures. That's the only one.
Mmmm, Dairy Queen...
Ya'll are so cute! This story gets better every time I hear it. And I miss not being there (not having been there?) more every time, too.
Oh and carrot, I don't think you could make a bad impression if you tried. We all love carrot!!!
I like the play by play. Keep it up!
That is a great picture!
I agree with everyone else! I could never get tired of hearing your version of the story! Hearing about millie coming out of the closet always brings tears to my eyes! That would have been something to see! Love the picture! :D
Awwwww, we look so cuuuuuuuuute. I was surprised to see this too.
You're doing the best job by far of recreating The Trip. I'm not even going to try. Yours is so much better.
P.S. You two looked wigged out and/or resigned at having to sit by Millie the nut job.
Millie, I was trying to smile with my eyes open. It's not an easy thing for me to do.
If I didn't have a strict "No calling after 9 pm" rule I'd call you and say "I LOVE THAT YOU POSTED THAT PIC"!! And I would yell (in a very dramatic yet shy way).
To be fair, I don't like the person jumping out of the closet trick. That person could be a clown, you can never know.
I waited until today to check, and here you snuck another post in when I wasn't looking!
YAY! I've seen Carrot's face. You are cute. I love your short dark hair. Ha! Just kidding....
I'm loving your recounting of this.
I'm not sick of it yet! Ha! :D
