We sang our song again from the song competition for the opening of the summer conference.
Shannon, happily selling treats!
We found a recipe for Auntie Anne's Pretzels online and made half jalapeno and half cinnamon sugar. Phenom!!
Angela, feeling creative
Game night with Americans, a Norwegian and South Africans (and everywhere like such as).
The two curly red-heads decided to straighten their hair together
Laurel Carlson and Angela - back to normal!
Today: Yay for finding time to post! Boo to catching a sore throat/head cold/cough that is annoyingly hard to kick! Yay for vakt who drove up to IKEA yesterday to get the work tables for the kitchen! Can't wait to get them set up!! Yay for the sun today after a week of rain and yay for the awesome thunderstorm last night! Yay for getting to sleep in today! Yay for vitamin C and echinacea and all-fruit smoothies with honey which just might help me kick this bad boy! Yay for sisters, good friends, catching up and encouragement. Boo to saying goodbye to so many friends who it may be years before you see again.Yay for the past year that we spent together and all the good memories we have! Carpe diem!
It was nice to see your new post! I'll be thinking about you as you prepare to say good-bye to people that you've learned to love. Imagine doing that after being with them for 16 years! Leaving Michigan and saying good-bye to all those we love here won't be easy but we need to focus on the good things God has ahead of us, right? =)
I hope you'll be able to chase that cold away soon. Colds aren't meant for summertime!
I am sure it won't be easy for you to say good-bye, either, but I'm sure it will be really nice for you to be so close to Grandpa and Grandma! And we can look forward to all the new people we'll meet and friends we'll make! :D
I think the cold is on the retreat! :D
Were those U.S. Americans?? =) Lol.
And yay for curls! I like em better.
Yeah, FINALLY a new post! Lol, I'm the last person who should be talking. :-)
YAY FOR NEW POSTS!
See you soon!!
Annie, say hi to Ruth (if she remembers me:)If you pronounce my name "Row-shnee" or "Row-she-knee", she might!)
Mark asked last week if you were coming back. He misses you.
And Teresa, he knows YOU'RE coming back - coz you're making his birthday cake :) Funny how kids remember these things...
Going up to Victory this weekend.
We will miss you Ange. Choir sounds awesome. Singing "God bless the USA". And Music Ensemble sounds even better on "God works His purposes faithfully out".
Take care guys - we're counting down...
Hehe, Mark would be correct! Does he know what kind of cake he wants?
Good luck with the choir and have a good weekend! See you soon!!
Hey Roshini, HI to Mark and I AM coming home...2 Weeks!! It sucks i'm missing our first band performance at Victory, but you should see if you can get someone to record it!! I'm kinda torn between the two places cuz I miss you guys and can't wait to see you, and yet I don't want to leave cuz I'm having such an amazing time! :) Such is life I guess.
Teresa!! I miss you! Thanks for the post, its awesome to see the new pictures and to see all the happenings at Brunstad! Hows the kitchen and all the ladies? You got a new bunch there? Home is going good, I leave for Winnipeg on Tuesday so about a week left! I am looking forward to going, a new challenge! Well my dear, I'll talk to you later! Skype me! Love you dear!
I texted you Teresa, coz Mark is telling people his birthday is in 'tember, he'll be 3, and he's going to have a bug cake (He means a Yellow VW Bug - I kid you not - the child has taste), and he said that Teresa is making it! Guess that answers your question:) Angie, Mark just wants to know how he can get down to visit you there..!! He said, "Is that Angie? Wow! How do you get down there?" lol.
How long are you coming home for Teresa? Trying to schedule Mark's birthday. Coz his birthday falls on soccer weekend - so we have to find another day. :)
Hello to you, Shannon! It's going well and I'm really looking forward to getting back to a normal routine!! Good luck in Winnipeg! Hugs!
Hey Roshini, I'll be home from September 1st - 29th. Just let me know when it works for you! Looking forward to it! :D
