We're back!

Our trip to Saskatchewan was wonderful! Lennox travelled SO well! (Why were we worried?) The first hour heading out he seemed pretty whiny, but after that I think he just resigned himself to the fact that he wasn't getting out. After that, he looked pretty sick and uncomfortable the rest of the way, but didn't have any "accidents" in the back seat, so all was well. On the way home, he was an old pro and we only had to stop twice in ten hours. Not bad at all. It's such a relief to know that he can travel well and that we can take him with us when we go places! He did wake up this morning with swollen eyes though...anybody out there know anything about dogs? We don't want a huge vet bill if we don't have to have one...advice?

Back to the trip...it was great. The wedding was beautiful. You know when you go to a wedding and it is just so perfect for the two people getting married? Well, that's how this one was. It was two friends who were in Nate's freshman class. And because they were both at Bethany for 4 (read 6) years, there were tons of Bethany alumni at the wedding. It was SO good to see people we hadn't seen for a while. It was mostly people that Nathan knew who were there, so we ended up hanging out with his friends and their wives/girlfriends/baby for the weekend. It was such an encouraging time of just being ourselves (outside ministry and responsibilities and everything) and catching up with friends. I can't communicate how good this weekend was. It was a blessing to be there.

Now that we're home, there's tons of stuff to do around the house. Unpacking and doing laundry. Mowing the lawn (which I LOVE). Weeding (which I need to do but don't enjoy at all). Baking (buns and bread...because fresh is much yummier than bought). Piano lessons (I started teaching about a month and a half ago...I LOVE teaching...). I should also start thinking about how to make my Creative Memories business survive over the summer months. It's been painfully neglected over the past two months (when youth got busier) but hopefully it will be resurrected this summer and grow quickly come fall.

Well, I should get going if I'm going to get everything done today! Talk to you later!
