Stephen has band practice on Monday night, so we planned to drive down to the beach on Tuesday and return on Thursday so he would be able to play for the Thursday evening service. However, it seems that things are always in a state of flux here so we weren't really surprised when our schedule changed. Band practice was moved from Monday to Wednesday to accommodate a special event at the church on Monday evening. In addition, we found out that our Biblical Counseling seminary class was scheduled to meet on Tuesday evening. With these changes, we canceled our reservations and promised to reschedule at some point in the future.
We decided we would go out for a birthday lunch at La Pampa since Stephen would be tied up in the evening.
About 10 a.m. Stephen got an email that he didn't have to go to band practice nor would he have to play on Thursday night. If we'd only known sooner, we could have gone to the beach Wednesday through Friday, but such is life here.
Hayden called and said he would like to take me to Red Mango (frozen yogurt) for my birthday. We decided to change our lunch plans at La Pampa to dinner plans. Hayden came to the house around 12:30, the three of us went to La Pizzeria for lunch and then to Red Mango.
About 7:00 p.m., we finally decided we might be hungry enough to eat. However, a storm passed through with crazy lightning and heavy rain so we just stayed home, watched a movie and had popcorn.
The best things about my day were the phone calls from my family, starting with my dad and siblings at 7:40 a.m., Jon at mid-day and Daniel at 10:00 p.m, and hundreds of Facebook messages from dear friends all over the world.
I intend to collect on my postponed birthday plans--meal at La Pampa and beach house stay--at some point in the next week or so. Stay tuned for more.
