Late May

Kelly has his master's degree!!! Yeah! The graduation Friday was wonderful! I thought I was excited when I got my master's, but I was more excited for Kelly's! I couldn't stop smiling! I'm SO proud of him!

This was Biola's 100th anniversary. Kelly was glad that he got to graduate with our friend, Paul Poelstra.

We left Saturday morning and drove up to Bishop with Kelly's mom. We got there around 3:30pm and went straight to the park to check out the Mule Days booths. We saw Susan Flaherty and her SeneGence booth.

Sunday morning we went to Cowboy Church... it was really good. Then we started getting ready for our church. I helped lead worship and Kelly preached.

After church we headed over to the Pratt's house for a Potluck/BBQ (it was that, but actually it was a surprise party for Kelly... Graduation & Birthday). There were so many people there! It was SO fun! The church gave Kelly The Bible... for Dummies, and Accordance... the Bible software Kelly has been wanting. We had a great time hanging out with everyone! What a great church we're going to! We love them so much!

Monday was Kelly's birthday (the 26th). We had breakfast at Jake's... it was yummy! We met some of the people that work there... and the whole restaurant sang to Kelly! Then we went home, took a nap, and then went to the Barrett's house for dinner.

Tuesday we drove home and met my parents and my Aunt Pat & Uncle Art in Ontario. My aunt and uncle were flying home from a weekend visit with my parents. So, it was great to get to spend a little bit of time with them!

We've talked to three people about buying or leasing our house. The family that was considering buying it has decided it's not the right time to move. There's a couple and a family that are interested in looking at our house to see if they want to lease it. The couple that's getting married in June will be checking our house out next week. The family will be checking it out too.

We are so thankful that the Talbot family has allowed us to stay in their condo as a transitional home. When we get up there, we will start looking for a house.

Suzanne has one week and one day of school left! Wow! After 14 years at Eastside Christian School, it will be hard to leave. But, Suzanne really feels like she's supposed to help with church stuff rather than teach. She's really looking forward to pouring herself into the church and community!

June 9-13 Kelly & Suzanne will be at Church Planter's Bootcamp. June 23-27 they will be in St. Louis at EFCA's General Conference. Sometime in there, they are hoping to finish packing so they can be ready to move to Bishop in July!
