possibilities

Okay...so detroit was fun besides the fact that i couldn't keep anything inside of me all Friday.  I visited my "office" 9 times to do "paperwork."  It was brutal.  We went swimming in the morning after breakfast and then got ready for our day.  for lunch we went to Dave and Busters (a grown up's chucky Cheese) and had a good time.  I had to leave early since i wasn't feeling that great, but the boys and Amber had a good time.  Caleb was all over the place and didn't know what to do with himself.  He had his own card with credits on it and didn't have to keep going back to mom and dad for tokens.  Both boys won a stuffed animal out of a claw machine (bumbs).  

the wedding was beautiful and my boy got married.  so congrats to the tim and lisa bollinger (they don't read this but oh well).  we got lost going to the reception, curse you google maps, and after we arrived we had to demonstrate how to kiss for the newly weds and then they mimicked us (they did this every time people tinked their glasses).  At our table were some buddies of mine from NCU and it was good trying to catch up with them over the noise.  Amber discovered that one of their wives had to take digestive enzyems as well so they were comparing pills.  

on the way home we stopped and visited with my buddy and his family in the northwest corner of Indiana.  We go way back to our freshman year of college where we were in a freshman orientation group and have stayed friends ever since.  We played ball together as well.  He has 4 kids and the oldest boys were Caleb and Joshua's age, so they hit it off right away.  Amber and Sheryl (sorry if i spelled it wrong) were able to finally talk face to face instead of comments on their blog pages.  After the park we got a bite to eat and my buddy blessed us by buying dinner.  It was was a very pleasant surprise.  

So all in all a good week and i get to go back to Michigan next week for my first E. Free conference with Pastor Doug and several others.  Kind of nervous since it's my first one and people haven't been to kind when talking about our conference the church is a part of. 

PEACE!
