Our Faith Riders Christmas Party


Bill....his last month as president of Faith Riders

Melissa rode with Bill and I, and Kimmy, d, Vikki and Rody all met at our house and rode together to Lansing to Chrissy and Joey's Michigan Wedding Reception at the Italian Troppo Kitchen.  Bill and Jared took different ways when we got to 52.  Bill was really happy when we got on the expressway and he saw them behind us ha ha.  Jared passed us and was going 82.  He knew Bill would be the one getting the ticket if he was the one behind.  We got to the restaurant at the same time after taking another different route.  We had a very nice time and it was so nice seeing everyone.  Pam and Dick were here from N. Carolina and Angie was here from Kansas.  Nice to see Jill and her relatives too.  Nice seeing the pictures from the wedding.  Bill, Melissa and I left there at 4:30.  We dropped Melissa off and then went right to the forestation where our Faith Rider's Christmas party was.  We didn't eat much, but had a great time.  Loved singing Christmas Carols and talking with everyone.
