surprise

Keep your eyes and ears open while in the Rice area. You never know what surprises 2020 has in store for us.

Happy hump day! What better way to start the chilly day off than with a giant muffin from Perkins? Each week my cameraman Josh Akkerman and I are surprising a different business with a dozen muffins.

As a little girl named Alexis makes a presentation to her class, her military dad, who’s fresh home from Afghanistan, makes a surprise appearance. (Sniff! Sorry, this kind of thing always gets us.)

We admit it. These things make us misty. Army Specialist Matthew Peters of Owensville, Missouri spent a year deployed in Kuwait and Iraq, and hadn’t seen his young son, Blake, in more than six months. When he came home, he decided to pop in on the unsuspecting tyke at school for a hug the kid will probably never forget.

There are those times in your life that you watch a video and it just makes you tear up a little bit. This is one of those videos. This young lady was getting ready to graduate, her parents told her that her big brother wouldn't be able to make it to the graduation and it really bummed her out. Then he surprises her on stage as she is taking her walk.
