So my friends and family can be up on life here in GR

'But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.'

Seniors, Peers, Juniors

Thursday evening Jean Porter came over to my house to drop off a gift for me, she made a beautiful quilt and said she made and gave it to me for three reasons: 1. She had extra fabric 2. We both love cats and 3. Because she thinks I'm very special! How sweet! Thanks Jean!


Jean and Me with the quilt.
Then, in celebration of Miss Emily's new job, I went to dinner with my girlfriends. But it was really a celebration for me personally because I went for my first ride ever in a Mini Cooper! The love it growing! :) And what fortune, Em sells them now!


In the mini!!
Friday was the start of a fantastic weekend! I went with the jr high group from church on their service retreat to the Detroit area. Friday night we got there and played some classic hide-and-go-seek games in the dark, they have a great old three story building for such a game. Saturday we worked right downtown Detroit at the Youth for Christ building and grounds. We did a lot of yeard work and clean up, we basically took down a forest. In the evening we got cleaned up and went to Dave and Buster's, a jr higher's dream come true! Arcades as far as the eye can see! Jenn and I buddied up and worked hard to earn fabulous prizes! The girls were great and stayed up super late talking and pillow fighting! What a great weekend, here are some photos!

Happy Tuesday!
