Hello !! This past weekend Erica, Brian and Jeff went on a church retreat for the youth group. The theme was "Calm the Storm" referring to Mark 4:37-40. Erica is Secretary of the Methodist Youth Fellowship. Brian is a member of the Junior Youth Fellowship, and Jeff is an MYF advisor.
While they were in South Jersey, Stephanie and I flew to St Louis on Thursday evening to visit a college. We had a great time - the temp was still in the 30s on Friday so the college tour was not too cold. After that, we drove to Lafayette, Indiana to visit some friends. Lafayette is the home of Purdue University, so we caught a Big 10 basketball game - the Fighting Illini vs the Purdue Boilermakers. It was a great game !! Stephanie was very interested in the Pep Band and the halftime antics. The mascot "surfed" over a bunch of college students. Basically, they lay down on the court, and as they rolled over the surfboard progressed. It was really cool. Then it was back to Indianapolis for a Sunday night flight home.
Now that we are back at home, it's back to reality. The kids did not have school on Monday for MLK day. Stephanie & Erica have midterms this week. Brian does not have midterms, but since it is the end of the semester he has a bunch of tests anyway.
I am frantically working on getting my taxes done before the 31st. Most of you know I usually file an extension and finish it all ...later....However, for college purposes, it all has to be done by 2/1 -- this is a huge challenge ! Especially since I had a hard drive crash in July !
