Girls Night Out!

I got together with 6 of my high school friends last night at the Blue Mountain restaurant in Orange City. We had a great time - all of us turned or will turn 40 this year and decided we needed to go out and celebrate - we had a great time and LAUGHED alot. Was fun to caught up on everyone's lives again and hope we can do this more often - is quite a shame we all live within 40 miles of each other and don't see each other very often.

From left to right is Connie (Kroese) Heitritter, me(Belinda), Amy(Kats)Vande Vegte, Lauri(Pollema) Poppema, Kari(Pollema)Hoekstra, Karmin(Te Slaa)Kruger, and Patty(Boer) Timmerman. Lauri set up the evening for us - thanks Lauri!!

Texas Senior Serve

Mike is back home safely after spending a short week in Oak Island, TX - picking up and helping farmers fence after Hurricane Ike went through in Sept. Everyone down there said that this was the hardest working group to come through yet - that made us all very proud.

Mike is back safely but with not as much money in his pocket - he got his first speeding ticket in Texas - they were going through Dallas and he was following the other vehicle - Mike got pulled over for going 75mph in a 60 zone. According to Mike they do everything BIG in Texas and I believe him - his ticket is for $225.00 - WOW.

Reminder to all - while driving in Texas - DON'T SPEED!!! :)

All is good and glad that everyone is safe and back home - enjoy the beautiful spring weather!

This Week in a nutshell!

Jamie is doing great again - she finally has her spunk back and looking great again!! YEAH
She is easing back into sports at school - has track and soccer going on at the same time - she has a game tomorrow but since she hasn't practiced yet - she is not going to this one and we will see about next week - Marcus is trying to help her with strength training at home - fun to see them at it together - Marcus is tough on her if she isn't doing it right - fun to watch - and by the way I need to do it also - can't keep up with either one - I think that I am aging some :(

Mike leaves on Senior Serve with the church group on Tuesday - 13 seniors and 4 adults to Texas to build fences and do a little site seeing - should be a good time and warm weather!

Jamie asked grandpa Dale to go on Daddy date night for Gems Tuesday night since Mike leaves at 5:30 and the date starts at 7 - grandpa was thrilled - it's a Mexican theme!

Jamie has Easter break Thur, Fri, and Mon. - Marcus has break Fri and Mon. - both are looking forward to that as well.

We have Good Friday service Friday night and Easter dinner by Mom on Sunday. Mike cames home on Monday sometime.

Wishing everyone a very BLESSED EASTER!
