I never thought...

-I would live in the middle of Detroit

-I would so terribly miss my family and friends when i moved away
-I would be able to get around Metro Detroit without getting lost (give or a take a few moments...)
-I would like BBQ chicken
-I would get gas in my neighborhood, or go to Tom's Coney Island in my neighborhood by myself
-I would be so scared of a MOUSE but not the gas station or tom's
-I would be able to run over 3 miles
-I would be such a morning person (thanks dad...)
-I would be anything but a teacher
-I would be such a clean freak
-I would be caring for children in the house that I own at age 24
-I would feel so at home as the eyes stared at me walking into the nearby grocery store
-I would choose to go to bed by 9:30 (until I realized how great it feels in the morning)


And for your viewing pleasure....we had our annual fundraiser gala on Saturday night. It was a beautiful night filled with so much love and support. All the hard work paid off and on to the next big event!

Almost 9:30....i'm off :)

All Star Flag Football Game!

John Ribbing and team did it again.

We had another successful all-star flag football game at Brother Rice on Halloween. Even though it was windy and cold, everyone seemed to muster enough warmth to have a great time. Minus a few scuffles everyone played with great sportsmanship and the army of volunteers really made the day happen. We are so grateful for this program and that the main emphasis is on reading and having good grades. Though it’s called flag football league it has little to do with how good you are or how many W’s you have. But, it combines the importance of education with an enjoyable game resulting in a great day of football. The kids always love going to the real field and running for a touch down by the uprights.

Thank-you John and team from the bottom of our hearts for making this season yet another success of sharing Christ’s love, educational values, and the love of the game. We appreciate and love you!
