On Saturday morning I was getting ready because Mittsi Moore (Dee's sweet sister) was coming to Paris, from London, for the weekend. Tyler was at work and I was still in my pajamas just organizing some things when my phone rang and it was Tyler. He wanted me to run something down to him quickly so he could head back to work. I was frustrated because I didn't want to get dressed and have to walk down 6 flights of steps. Well, he convinced me to walk all the way down and to the front door of our building. When I met him there he whispered "Catherine...look at this creepy man sitting on the bench behind me," so I did and it was the scariest old man in a big black over coat sitting there. It looked like he was staring at us so I got nervous and said "TYLER DON'T LOOK AT HIM- he is looking over here." I was starting to get even more afraid. The next thing I know this freak is walking up towards me and the back of Tyler. At this point I was thinking "which way do I run or should I just scream." He then attempted to push at Tyler and Tyler seemed really afraid and I was about to LOOSE IT. I hadn't looked the old man in the face because I was too afraid- but when I finally did he was taking off a mask. And guess who it was??? My Dad!!!!!! Immediately tears popped out of my eyes like never before. I was in shock- because I was SO excited yet still recovering from being so freaked out. ha! It was quite the prank- one I will never forget. I cannot tell you how special it was for him to fly all the way over here to spend time with Tyler and I before we move home. We had a BLAST together. We shopped, got massages, had some amazing meals, did a bike tour of Paris, went to Normandy beaches (D-Day)...and so much more. It was a blast!
Here are just a few pictures from the prank and from our time together.

NORMANDY TRIP!
But first a bit of history...During WWII the Nazis occupied all of Northern France. On June 6, 1944 the Allies (USA, England, and Canada) organized an invasion of the beaches of Normandy to drive all the Nazis out. This date is known as D-Day.
About to board our train from Paris to Normandy!
Above is a picture of Pointe Du Hoc- which is the point at Omaha Beach where the American Ranger's landed.
The American Cemetery. It was amazing, I had the chills.
