We travelled over to College Station to celebrate Matthew’s birthday. It was a quiet affair with a nice lunch, then later a sandwich dinner, and dessert. We sat and talked to both Matthew and Beth and had a nice but quiet and simple time. After lunch we went shopping for shoes and just looking at things in the mall – the puppies caught Beth’s eye too. We brought a brown-sugar cake so our dessert was ice cream and cake in his apartment – btw, this was the first time we had visited him and saw the new apartment which is very nice. Because I had to run the next day we left about 8:30 PM to head back to Austin. Earlier in the day we had bought tickets for them to see a movie, but it was too late for us to stay and see. We hope they enjoyed the movie. We enjoyed the day very much.<\/p>\n
