Evan and Jack were so happy today!  Their soccer team won 1st place in the championship!  I am so happy for them.  What a great game for their Papa Dan and Nana Brenda from Muskegon to see

Beautiful when we got in the hills

Storm to the left of us as we traveled. Lots of lightning strikes.  Glad we only got light rain.  Two guys passed us on motorcycles and it was so dark ahead, I started praying for them.  God is good!

Love the hilly, curvy roads

They had dinner for leadership at CMA headquarters tonight.  Some ate outside and some inside!

Bill wanted me in his picture

We got ready, then loaded up the car and then had a continental breakfast at our hotel. They had scrambled eggs, omelets, hard boiled eggs, sausage, waffles, fruit and much more.  It was so nice and even had a booth for us to sit in.  We checked out and went back to the room to get our last minute things to take to the car.   It was 50 degrees at our hotel and supposed to get up to 74.  It’s supposed to be 87 when we get to Hatfield.  

When we got on the road, Bill had me try to call a place 37 miles from our destination because we didn’t have reservations for tonight.  Their phone was no longer in service.  I decided to try Sun Country in Mena.  They had two rooms available for tonight. yay, we made our reservation.  Then we called Ziggy to se if he wanted the other room because he was going to stay in his car. He was pretty happy.  It’s a very small town with only a few hotels so they were full when we tried from home.  We did pray though.  We had full reservations at Mena Mountain top resort, but the people in Ziggy’s Air B and B he always stays with canceled so he asked us to come there so he could still pay the same.  It’s an amazing place, so we decided to and canceled our other reservation, not thinking about not having a place to stay tonight when we get there.  Yay, God took care of us!

Ziggy got the the motel 1 1/2 hrs after us.  He drove us to go with him to Iron Mountain to drop off his motorcycle and trailer, then drove us by the Air B &B we will be staying.  We are sharing a house with him and possibly Lisa and Wayne.  

We came back to the motel and rested for a while, the rode with Ziggy to the leadership dinner.  We had a great time seeing everyone, the food was great and the dessert were amazing.  Evan FaceTimed us each to doe a trick trying to tell us what we picked and it worked on both of us.  We chose different numbers too.  He’s so cute!
