Happy 37 to Ben!
Poor Ben. He has a history of having not exciting things happen on his birthday (like unpacking a house), so we made plans to make this year extra special. We made big plans to go up to San Luis Obispo for the weekend and it was going to be amazing. Then the rains came and we saw that rain was forecasted to continue for the next week and would ruin all the fun things we had planned for the weekend, so we decided fairly last minute to postpone the trip. Praise the Lord we did, because then the world stopped. I survived grocery shopping to get stuff for a breakfast and dessert. I made him bacon, eggs and hashbrowns for breakfast and then we went for a run. It stopped raining just long enough for us to run 7 miles for his 37th birthday.
Ben and Alison played basketball in the afternoon and then he taught be how to skateboard. We had a lot of fun! We only bought a few little things for Ben since we were supposed to be out of town, but he was so gracious with what little he got.
Colin wrote Ben a birthday card...can you believe how long he is now?!?!
We went to Lure Fish house for dinner, which was delicious as always.
We were surprised to find the restaurant felt normal, especially because we could see Walmart Marketplace from the window that was anything but normal. I'm so glad we were able to go, because just 2 days later, they closed down all dine-in restaurants. Maybe next year we'll get in a big bash for Ben.

We should DEFINITELY have a big bash for him--even if we aren't there, we'll participate virtually :)
