This weekend was wonderful! It was my weekend off and I did so much great stuff that it felt like more than just a weekend. Awesome!
Avalon sings
Greg, Melissa, Janna, and
JeremiFriday night the
Rissers and I went to Spring Arbor, Michigan for an Avalon concert. It was in an area that is not the Christian music mecca that our county is, so we were some of the few people in the crowd that had been to an Avalon concert before. Denise is a member of the Avalon fan club, so we were able to go to a private "meet & greet" after the show. It turns out that she was the only person at the concert who was from the fan club, so it was just the
Rissers, me and Avalon. We got to visit with them for about 15 minutes or so. They are very down to earth people and we had fun chatting with them for a bit.
Avalon and their fans!
Denise, Greg, Melissa, Deanna, me, Janna, and
JeremiAfter the concert we went to a hotel about 30 minutes from Spring Arbor for the night. We stayed up late eating junk food, watching stupid
tv and talking. It was a lot of fun! I absolutely LOVE staying in hotels, so that would have been fun enough, but to have such great traveling companions was icing on the cake!
Saturday we spent several hours at the outlet malls in Fremont, IN. I did some Christmas shopping at the Bath & Body outlet store and some shopping for me at Dress Barn. It was a successful shopping day!
In the evening we ended up in Van
Wert, Ohio at our friend Jill
Fast's place. Jill went to college with us and is married with two little adorable boys - Zane and
Jace. We watched the Ohio State game, ate, caught up on each other's lives, and played with the boys. We had to leave long before we were ready, but the two hour drive back to
Goshen couldn't be avoided.

Sunday was pretty much business as usual...Living Room, church, lunch with the college students, shopping, and dinner & meeting with the
RAs. I've been working on homework and baking cookies for a floor meeting that is happening at 10:30 tonight.
Until later...
