Ondrea waited patiently for Julio to come back even though she knew she wasn't the most patient person in the world.  She had her hands folded and crossed her legs.  She even felt really good wearing a pink tee-shirt with Eeyore in the front.  She decided to wear a pair of purple jean capris that her older sister Rochelle bought her last summer.  On her feet were Eeyore slippers that were pink and blue (Jacqueline's birth mother, Bertica, made those).

Seconds later, Julio had a beautiful pink journal and five gel pens in his hand.  He was grinning from ear to ear.

Ondrea raised an eyebrow.  "What's going on, Julio?"

Julio couldn't stop grinning.  "What I have in my hand is for you, amor.  That's your surprise."

Ondrea got up and grabbed the journal and the gel pens out of his hands in a gentle manner.  Then she placed both items on one of the steps and kissed Julio on the lips.  "Thank you, mi papi chulo!"

"You're welcome," replied Julio, returning the kiss back.  "I wanted to surprise you."

"Surprise me you did!  Thank you for all you do!"

"No problem."  Then Julio held Ondrea in his arms for a long time.
