Congratulations!!!

Yesterday we were blessed to go to Schaumburg Christian School to see a wonderful competition with several schools in the IACS. Wow, what talent! Marquette Manor Baptist Academy did an AMAZING job! They took first place for the state in MANY categories. The most exciting for us was when they took first for the men's ensemble. Mike is in this one and now they are going to Nationals at Bob Jones University next month. He is elated. The men's ensemble is a wonderful group of young men. All of the students did a fantastic job. We saw incredible artwork, an amusing dialog competition, some skits, and very talented singing groups. And we were only able to be there for half of the day. When the awards were announced it was so great to hear the student cheering for their schools. Their hard work definitely paid off!!!

A Really Nice Evening

Recently we celebrated my friend Kris' birthday. We went to her favorite restaurant "Chinn's 34th Street Fishery". I think it's safe to say she (and her husband) had a good time. I really enjoy spending time with good friends, and the food there is good too!
Looking at the calendar, I believe my birthday is next. Oh wait, I see a couple of anniversaries in between!
