Our trip to Ann Arbor on Friday to pick up Mary was very smooth. We left by 12:30pm and arrived back home with Mary by 5:45pm. Had just enough time to change clothes, pick up some dinner and head to the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club Concert. Good thing I bought tickets online several weeks ago, since the show was sold out! The men's performance was stellar. Lots of "wows" after each song. I had so much pride standing during the Michigan Alma Mater, listening to Mary sing along. After the show we visited with Brandon and met some of his and Mary's friends. Family and friends experienced a real treat when Brandon's Barbershop Quartet sang a few songs for us!
We had 3 inches of snow fall Friday night and Saturday morning. It wasn't enough to cancel any of the day's activities. Jeff attended a worship workshop in Jenison with 6 or 7 other church leaders from MCLC. Mary and I attended the District One Acts at GHS. Matthew was very excited about our school's show and with good reason. They did a great job and will advance to the Regional Level in two weeks. Great Job Matthew, Asst. Stage Manager and to the whole cast and crew! We had a wonderful day full of theatre and enjoyed the other plays from other area schools.
Had a good Sunday morning. Today's sunday school lesson was the Beattitudes. Orchestra played very well and had a father/daughter baptism~Praise the Lord!~ Enjoyed a pizza lunch with Mary before Jeff and Matthew went tubing (sledding) at Pando with the MCLC youth group. Mary and I played two games Rapid Scrabble.(play quick, any word ok and no score). We finished one game in 23 minutes! Luckily Mary got a ride back to Ann Arbor with friends which saves us a late night trip across the state!
Tomorrow we will head to Kalamazoo by 0900 for a College Visit at Western Michigan University. Can't believe that it is time for Matthew to look at colleges! Where does the time go?? We will visit the Theatre Department and School of Health Services before a general tour at 2 pm. Found out there is a Cici's Pizza there, so that is where we will have a meal. Matthew is excited about that! We love Cici's!
Now I am off to bowl. We are in second place right now. Hope we can get some more wins tonight!
Will try to report back about our college visit!
