Kody got done with his shower this evening and Stacie noticed he was wearing the cross we got him for his birthday.  It made me so happy. Thankful she sent me a picture

We went to Faith Rider’s meeting in the morning.  Breakfast was delicious and we had good fellowship with everyone.  The meeting went well and Elaine, the chaplain, gave a great message.  We came home and I changed right away, then Melissa and Evan got here and we left to go pick up Lydia.  She was already when we got there and came out to the car.  Evan met her partway and got the car door for her.  We drove to Frankenmuth and got to St. Lorenz school.  They had people outside to direct the parking.  We got some popcorn, waters, and candy bars.  Melissa bought her and I a candy bar after we finished our popcorn, because we decided we had a sweet tooth.

We got great seats, then watched the program.  They all did a great job.  We loved the part where they had signs and on one side it told the problem and on the other side it would declare the answer that God brought.  So touching, I cried.  So did Lydia.  The songs and messages they chose were amazing.  The worship dancers did amazing too.  We had such a good time.  When it was over, I took a picture of Evan and Lydia and then we went to go eat.  I was going to take us to DaVinci’s Restaurant and when we were driving Lydia and Evan saw Wang’s Bistro.  They said it’s their favorite place, so we went there instead.  Melissa got terrayki chicken, fried rice, an egg roll and soup and I got the same except I had sweet and sour chicken. Evan got what Melissa had and  Lydia got some kind of sushi things. Our food was really good.  

We came back to my house then.  Bill and Isaac had taken the hard top off our jeep and put the soft top on.  I know he was thankful to have Isaac help him.  He took Isaac to Culver’s for lunch.  I’m glad he took a picture.  Melissa, Evan, Lydia and I played Donkey.  I was the first one to get the donkey, but I didn’t get many high numbers to go with it.  Lydia went out first, I went out second, Melissa went out third and poor Evan got the Donkey.  We sure had fun.  After the game, we relaxed and talked and enjoyed some Oreo’s.  They left to go home around 5:30 because Bruce was making chicken taco’s for them.  

Bill and I went to Kroger to get gas for $1 off on 35 gal.  $35 is a big savings with gas so high.  Very thankful for Kroger and Meijer gas incentives.  I came home and wrapped a baby shower gift.  I totally forgot about Joselyn’s baby shower today.  Bummer!  I really wanted to go.  I will take the gift tomorrow to church.  

It got up to 55 degrees and sunny today with no wind.  Beautiful day.  So thankful!
