Narrative:
On initial contact, approach control advised us to plan for runway 18L. After a frequency change, approach control gave us a heading to join (we thought runway 18L). After joining runway 18L, approach control advised us that they had cleared us to join runway 18R. We subsequently lined up and landed on runway 18R. I believe I 'heard what I expected to hear.' we had just commented to each other what a pleasant day it was, we were on the way home, and generally very 'mellow.' we simply let our guard down.
