Martha really surprised me on by birthday this year. We had a joint birthday celebration for my Mom and I and my parent's house on the 13th since my Dad would be having surgery on the 17th and would be in no condition to celebrate on my actual birthday (24th). When we loaded up the van to head to Adrian for the day I didn't notice that Martha had packed a few extra items for the kids. I was totally surprised when I discovered that we not only had tickets for the Royals game Sunday afternoon but also for the Mercy Me concert immediately after the game. I think the concert was better than the game even though the Royals whipped up on the Tigers. There had to be at least 10,000 people that stayed for the concert. It was a remarkable worship experience that one does not get to experience very often. The kids spent the entire weekend with my parents so that gave us extra time to do some things we have been able to do in ages. Jonalyn gave me a gift card for the AMC so we ended up going to the movies twice! I wonder how she is going to top this next year...
