I really am going to try to be better at updating this blog. So here it goes..
This past weekend was super busy and a lot of exciting things happened and also some really heartbreaking things happened. I guess I will start by posting some pictures of the exciting things.
Friday night we went out to dinner at Johnny Carino's with some friends. Ate way too much pasta and saw a woman with a hair do that stood off her head like 8 inches (she literally had hair with more volume than I'ver seen....and I've seen a LOT of volume..)
After dinner, we came home and played some Bananagrams till it was late enough to go to Montes for Drew's Bosses and Coworkers joint birthday party at Montes. We got to Monte's and everyone really wanted Drew to dance (a repeat of his dancing at the work christmas party..) but I guess he was not feeling as brave/had not had enough beers?) It ended up being fun and Drew is lucky to work with an awesome group of people. I snagged a pic with 2 of those awesome people (Caitlin and Kyla):
Saturday I went down to kalamazoo for some spring break shopping with my mom! We get a springbreak still thanks to Amy who is a teacher and is keeping that tradition alive:) Saturday afternoon/evening was my cousin Susan's wedding! Lots of fun and my personal highlight was my Grandma Kool turning into a full-blown dancing machine. A new side of Grandma! We did manage to snag a picture when she was breaking for some water:) 
So it was a weekend of celebration but it was also a weekend of sadness due to the fact that a good friend lost his father in a sudden car accident (he actually was stopped to help someone who was stuck in a ditch when he was killed) and another friend's father had a heart attack. It has been hard to process these events and it is so hard to see friends in pain. Please keep these friends of mine in your prayers. A verse that has kept popping up is Isaiah 40: 31. This verse offers so much hope to me.

Thanks for the update, Stac! I'll definitely be praying for your friends and their families- that stuff is tough even if you know you will see them again.
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note, if your Grandma Kool is such a dancing machine how come you hide those genes all the time? just kidding =) Miss ya girl!
