My sweet wife is having her birthday today. Last night we "kind of" surprised her with a birthday party. I say kind of because on the way there, as we were making a turn to the house, some of her friends turned in front of us coming from the opposite way. She said, "Hey, isn't that Nancy?" I laughed and said, "No, I don't think it was."
After we parked on the street, she opened the door and I can see two people walking from my rear-view mirror. They were Nancy and her sister Veronica (the same ones making the turn). When they saw Lola, I saw them turn a complete 180 and run behind the nearest car. Lola saw them, and we both started laughing. It was so funny. I didn't realize that they can run that fast. I told Lola, "Okay, just pretend that you didn't see that." 
She was still surprised of who were there. Many old friends that we haven't seen since we got married were there. Some of her family came over. Her smile told me how happy she was. Steve brought with him, Karaoke Revolution presents American Idol. After a hearty dinner, we spent the rest of the evening till 11:30PM playing the game. Lola got good comments from all the judges in the game including Simon Cowell.
It's been a rough time these past weeks. These respites of fun and happy times sure does the soul good. We thank God for our family and friends who showed up. She doesn't know this, but we're surprising her AGAIN with another party tonight. More karaoke? No, but sure more treasuring our friendships that God has graciously given.
