Birthday Dinner and Anniversary Party






Friday Scott celebrated his 44th birthday. He had a relaxing day. He took a personal day and slept in, played a little golf, and relaxed. I took him out to a new restaurant called Movida in Livermore. It is a little tapas place. The menu is full of "small plates." We ordered several items, most of which are not on a Medifast diet. We had a hard time determining which was our favorite. Maybe it was the mini-burgers or the fried calamari. Or maybe the chocolate lava cake. It was a fun night of freedom. Now back to the diet!



Saturday night we attended our friends' anniversary party. David and Susan were celebrating their 13 years of marriage with family and friends. They had the party at our principal's winery (where my ensemble played last weekend). With their family, Susan and David renewed their vows. David was also baptized, which is something that many of us were praying for. David is in the late stages of pancreatic cancer. He's beaten all the odds and has lived and managed the disease for 4 years! He's something of a miracle case. Since the fall the cancer has gotten worse. Needless to say this was a bittersweet celebration. But David is trusting in the Lord and we have all vowed to him that we will take care of Susan when he's in heaven.
