Early Birthday Present

Ben's 38th birthday is tomorrow and he's got the week off (I know!). We have some fun and surprising surprises planned to distract him for a while from his plans for a week of focusing on the basement. [Furnace update: We've got gas!]

But this afternoon and evening have been an early birthday present. When he got home from church at about 2:00pm (an eight hour day, in case you were wondering) he changed into casual clothes and has had a relaxing evening. No meetings, no phone calls, no nothing! Just a little reading, a little napping, and a little college ball. Hey, when did college teams start playing on Sundays?

Only Aaron (and Kim) had a better Sunday afternoon, I'd bet! My condolences to Scott (and JaNae). They reorganized the Elders Quorum in our ward. . .
