Dinner with a Chef....

The last few days have been uneventful for the both of us, except for last night. Megan has been sick the last few days. Last night we hosted a dinner for a couple from our church. The thing is, the husband is a master chef. That made the both of us a little nervous. However, everything turned out great and they both actually really enjoyed the burritos and side trimmings we cooked up and the peanut butter pie we had for dessert. They also brought some really good wine that we all enjoyed.

Megan's last day at Appletree was Friday. It was a little bittersweet. She is definitly glad to be done with Appletree, however she is going to really miss most of the kids and their parents. A couple of the parents got her a little floral plant and a 'dream' plaque. That was really nice of them. Hefty is in the middle of a three day weekend, and is definitly enjoying it. He is also playing on a softball team on Wednesday nights. They are currently 2-2 and he is really enjoying catching for the new team he is on. We are getting ready for our trip to Colorado. We have a parent meeting next Sunday for the parents of the kid who are going. We are only 3 weeks away!!

Weekend and Such...

Well, today was the beginning of my last week at Appletree. It is kindda sad. I am going to miss most of the kids and the parents there. I have made some good friendships with some of the employees there also, but it is time to move on. I can not wait to start at church. It's going to be a new challange...but I know that I am up for it!! Last night, Memorial Day, we went to my mom's house for a BBQ. It was a good time, and the food was delicious! All my step-siblings were there and we found out that my step-brother and his wife are expecting a baby! I am so excited for them!!! They already have a 5 year old and they are GREAT parents. Tonite, Hefty and I went to Logan's for dinner because I didn't feel like cooking tonite. I planted some flowers in the front tonite too! I am no "green-thumbs" so I hope that they don't die. Well, I think that's about it.

Giving it a try....

Well, I thought that I would try this blog thing....it seems like an easy way to let our friends know about what is going on in our lives. Well, the newest thing is that I (Megan) got a new job! I am now the secretary/communications person at our church! I am so excited to start. I think that it will be a nice change. Hefty is still in search of his dream "teaching job" with no much luck. We have had a few leads, but nothing official yet. In the meantime, he is still a manager at Family Fare. He likes it, but would prefer to teach. We are living in my grandparents condo in Holland and loving it! We are hoping to start adopting a baby in the next year or so. The process can take a year or more, so if we start soon, we should be ready when a baby becomes available! Hefty and I are going to Colorado at the end of June with our high school youth group that we volunteer for. We are very excited to go and have a vacation! Hope everything is good with all of you!
