My birthday

I turned 53 today and proud of it! What a day! You all must have been praying because it was a great day. It started off a little stressed because my alarm didn’t go off. I was meeting my friend, Lisa, at church. I made it there via taxi and was not too late so that was good. We had a great worship service and an even better S.S. class (we went to early service and S.S. after).

Then Lisa took me to a really neat place for lunch. It is called “The Vilage”

It was a very unique restaurant with lots of different things to try. We split a salad and a peppered beef, mushroom, and cheese crepe! AND Watermelon juice. Delicious!

Afterwards we had a pecan praline frappacino from “The Coffee Bean”

The Coffee Bean is a lot like Starbucks (which we also have here) but cheaper. Remember that $6.90 Singapore dollars would be about $4.50 U.S. dollars PLUS Starbucks doesn’t have the Pecan Praline! And after all, it was my birthday!

Lisa and I sat and talked a long time today (just getting to know each other better.) I told her all about my family and she just let me rant on and on about them. I hope she is around when they all come to visit.

We also took in a movie and enjoyed some Singapore shopping!

I wanted to thank you for praying for me on my birthday. It could have been discouraging not to have Rick here (and I do miss him) but Lisa took out a big chunk of her day to make my birthday a special one.

By the way, Rick will be home tomorrow night around 1am. Please pray for him to have a safe and comfortable journey. There’s nothing about a twenty hour flight to look forward to except the fact that you will be home.

I’m sure we will have tons of adventures next week as we start looking for an office. Please pray that we will find one easily and within the company’s price range.
