Catching up a bit more….



Life has been kinda quiet around here since Nicole has gone back to Korea, but we are easily falling back into a regular routine, which is a as busy as usual.  Jared has been going to Drama camp all last week and this week to prepare for a production this weekend.  It is a brand new play that Mary worked with the writer on to make it work for drama camp.  It is called Horror High School: The Musical.  We have tickets for Friday night and I think Mark and I are going to help usher on Saturday. 

June 18th- We had an interesting evening on Friday night....before going to see Jill & Mary in “Thoroughly Modern Millie”, we were going to have dinner with the Springers at Subway in Bristol, but even before they could finish making our sandwiches it was announced by the manager that they were going to be closing immediately due to a "tornado" moving that way. They told us that we had to leave due to insurance reasons. {They did finish making our sandwiches which we paid for!} By this time it was POURING down rain and so we all had to run across the street and ended up SOAKING wet and eating dinner in the corner of the lobby at the Opera House! So much for Subway caring for their customers...you would have thought that they would have allowed us to stay instead of sending us out in the midst of what they said was a tornado. {And there never were any tornadoes...just BAD storms!}. Anyway... "Millie" was great....Jill & Mary both did a great job, as did everyone else, and I really enjoyed it even though I felt a bit soggy through most of it! ;)

 

June 19th- Saturday night was our end of year party for WOL.  We did a digital scavenger hunt and send the kids and the parent off with a long list of things they had to take photos of and then we ate pizza and tallied up the points for each team when they returned.  I think everyone, including the parents, had a lot of fun! 

June 20th- Sunday was Father’s Day and after church we went down and spend the day at Mark and Linda’s.  It was a very nice afternoon and we spend a lot of the time sitting out on their front porch.  That morning in church our new pastoral intern, Christopher and Heather Kocher were with us.  They will be her for a year starting in August, and this was a nice day to meet them and Christopher gave the sermon.  They have the cutest little boy named Aiden!  Since the weather was so nice, Jared and I slept in the tent….I don’t think we slept in the tent at all last summer so it was kind of nice to be able to do it again.  I had thought we would keep it up and sleep in again on Monday night, but storms were heading our way so the tent had to come down Monday morning. 

June 21st-  I took Joanna out to lunch at Panera.  We had a nice time just sitting and talking with each other!

Now backing up a bit….

Saturday, June 12th- We went to Rachel’s wedding….she married Tim Brandli.  It was a beautiful wedding and Rachel looks so pretty in her wedding dress.  The reception was outside in the parking lot next to the Laborde’s and it was a hot and humid afternoon, but thankfully there was a breeze to that helped a lot.  That evening we left the reception a bit early and went to Goshen to see Morgan and Brock in a Glee Club concert. 

Sunday, June 13th, we spend the afternoon with the Jordans and went up to Grand Rapids and spend the day at Frederick Meijer Gardens.  What a beautiful place!  They had so many wonderful flowers and some interesting sculptures as well.  http://meijergardens.org/index.php 
Everyone took a ton of photos that day! Here is a link to my Facebook album with all of the photos that I took.

Monday, June 14th, Lori, Jill and I went to Hacienda for dinner and then afterwards went to the movies to see “Letters from Juliet”.  I really enjoyed the movie.  It is definitely a chick-flick and it made me cry at the end! ;)
