Monday turned out to be a very eventful day for all of us here at
Gueller's Photography. Mary and Steve planned a surprise day of shopping in Chicago as a Christmas present to the whole staff. We left Mt. Calvary at 6:15 am and tackled the
icy roads to the Milwaukee
Amtrack station only to watch our 8 am train pull away from the station as we ran through the station doors. Our only choice was to wait until the next train at 11 am.
With nothing to do for 3 hours, we decided to go grab some breakfast at Miss Katie's Diner. We weren't the only ones getting breakfast at Miss Katie's that morning- so was Fox 6's Real Milwaukee. As we were laughing about our luck so far that morning, Fox 6's Tony came over and asked if he could talk to us about our Miss Katie's experience. Adding this to our already crazy day just made us laugh more.
After our great breakfast we finally caught the train and were off to Chicago. We were about 30 minutes away from Union Station when Mary got a text message from her son Eric saying they needed to come to the hospital, his wife, Joanna, was in labor. This was the last thing everyone expected because she wasn't due for 3 more weeks. Our plans changed for a second time! Steve, Mary and Ryan were off to the hospital and the rest of us went shopping. A few hours later we get the message that Eric and Joanna had their baby, a healthy baby boy, Gram Thomas. It turned out we couldn't have picked a better day to go to Chicago!
What we thought was going to be a leisurely day of shopping turned into us being on the news and Mary and Steve becoming grandparents. Mary decided after Monday our new slogan needs to be "Expect the Unexpected". No arguments there!
Congratulations to the whole Gueller family on the new precious addition!
Congratulations to Chelsea & Jason Klotz!
