Sunday, 9/17/23, Watched BFF Vikki get baptized online, went to prayer, went to church, went to lunch with Vikki and family, went to Kody's soccer game at 7 p.m.

Love this picture of all 18 of us riding our bikes in the campground.  Peyton and Isaac were babies in the baby cart. 

We got ready for church and then watched my Best Friend, Vikki, in Grand Haven get baptized at her church.  So thankful for being able to watch online.  It was very moving and I cried tears of joy watching her be baptized.  

We went to prayer and then into the church service.  It was another great message and awesome worship.  At the end of the service, we prayed for people.  We went to Olive Garden with Vikki, Rody, Peyton and Isaac and had good food and a fun time.  When we got home, we closed up the camper so Bill can take it in for them to fix the furnace.  It's under warranty so that's good.  We are going camping this weekend so want it working great, even though I usually only use an electric heater. 

I put the sprinkler on and kept moving it to water all the grass seed so it grows.  Fed the birds too.  I came in and remembered just in time that Kody's game was at 7. I sure was thankful I remembered.  We got ready fast, packed the chairs and headed there.  We did have a few minutes to drive by our two houses we lived in when we lived in Hemlock.  We have many memories of that neighborhood and of dear friends there. 

We got to Kody's soccer game and he was still practicing.  There was a game going on so we looked at all the people there and didn't see Stacie and DJ.  Then we saw them watching Kody practice at the end on another field.  After they practiced, they moved to the other field.    It was at the high school in Hemlock and the big lights were on.  He usually doesn't play where there is a scoreboard and lights Stacie said, so this seemed really special.  He sure is a fast and a great player.  It was a tie game so they went into a kickoff, ending in a 4-5 game in favor of the other team.  We had so much fun watching him play and getting to spend time with Stacie and DJ.  

I worked on getting the rest of the thank you notes written.  They are all ready to be mailed out tomorrow.  Yay!
