Well, sort of. Thursday was my 29th birthday. Mostly, it was a normal day — nice, but normal. I worked at the writing center in the morning and spent the afternoon hanging out with my family (the boys picked flowers for me). Sam (Mark’s dad) was in town and took me, Mark, Tim, and Kristen to dinner at Cafe Excel (my favorite). So, while we were looking at the menus, this guy with an ear piece coiling down the back of his shirt walks up near to our table. Just as we’re about to make fun of him, we see Barbara Bush (grandma) walking behind him, followed by George, Sr. and some more secret service. They sat down right behind us, about 5 feet away. Suddenly, my birthday dinner felt a lot more important. Mark’s comment: “I feel like my safety is threatened with them this close to us.” Drama. Unfortunatley, I didn’t have my camera.

Happy 29th Bethany! Love Rachel
Even without George and Barbara your birthday was important! You are such a blessing to me. Glad you had a happy day. I can’t wait to hear about this experience in person…
I really enjoyed looking at all the kid’s photo’s.
They all have an “angelic glow”!
Especially the infant!!!!
Happy Birthday Bethany!!!
Love,Mom
