Hello Everyone :)

How are things for everyone? The only way to get this thing going is to write something, anything, anytime. Just spout--it tends to be more interesting that way.

My family pretty much said that they will work out watching the kids for the last two weeks of June while we are in Ecuador (Lord willing we raise the money for it). They will probably be in a combination of Grand Rapids and Chicago, so if anyone else has the urge to hang out with them some you'll have to make some plans so things can be arranged.

I've got a pretty slow week this week. If you didn't know, our church's parsonage (probably a bit bigger than Mom and Dad's house) had some severe water damage. We will be doing the work in it, which was supposed to start... but the guy who was going to be in charge of making the decisions was actually interested in buying it himself--hence he was designing it with his personal interests in mind. Therefore, some other people stepped in and said that a committee should be involved, making the decisions, so on and so forth. So it will probably be another month or so before that one starts.

I've got everything but the last bit of painting done in the Theatre! My electrical and trim stuff I finished up last night and today. The very last step will be the carpet--but I'll wait until I get the plumbing done in the bathroom (and make sure our landscaping in the back will keep water out of the basement). I'll be hosting a superbowl party, and it was my original deadline for finishing the room (besides carpet).

We started Stephanie's goofy diet this week. I don't have too much to say about it but that I'm hungry right now--so I'm going to go get something to eat.

Hope you are all having a good week.

Mike
