Memorial Day

This Memorial Day, and weekend, was a little out of the norm. But so much more great than the norm.

Ben got to hang in Atlanta until Sunday morning, leaving me with a completely blank slate for the weekend. I got to hang out with my friend Alisha on Saturday. This included a very late breakfast at a restaurant downtown called Rooster (they specialize in crapes), a Salvation Army run, and a walk through Tower Grove Park. After the awesome hang out time, I had dinner with the Muehleisens: ribs, bread, coffee, birthday cake, and wonderful company. A winning combo. Sunday housed the regular activities: church and relaxation. Well... relaxation this Sunday meant laundry and cleaning a bathroom, but it needed to be done.

Memorial Days of past normally include seeking out a friend's barbeque and drinking a few beers. Due to some rain and me no longer consuming beer, this year consisted of a long relaxing day filled with food, video games, movies, and love. I wouldn't have traded that for a "normal" Memorial Day past for much of anything.
