More sweet gifts from the weekend, celebrating my best friend's birthday.  Spending time with Ann always encourages me.  Even though we only live forty-five minutes away, finding space on the calendar is difficult!  We dropped off our kids at their house and left them to shoot Nerf guns and eat their sandwiches while the adults went out to a rare restaurant treat.


The best part of the evening was the encouragement we received when the waitress told us another table had paid for our meal.  A family we know from church (and the husband happened to be Aaron's 8th grade math teacher!) quietly paid for our birthday celebration and infused us with a sense of wonder and gratitude.


Our family also attended opera scenes at our local university on Saturday night.  We are soaking up every little bit of music we can, knowing that our time in America is growing shorter and our opportunities to enjoy good performances are few.
