We had a great weekend. We started house-sitting on Friday night for our "Step" Parents: Russ & Kanae Quinn. They have a beautiful house up on the hill. We "moved" in Friday night after a great Bible Study! It's so nice to be in a house and not an apartment - it makes the urge to move on in life a little more prevelant! :)
Saturday we slept in and then Jake got ready for his 8th grade boy's afternoon. The three male teachers of our school took all 9 8th grade boys out to some caves and boonie stompin'/clearing for the afternoon. Jake had a blast and was glad to spend time with the boys outside of school and in a new setting for some of them. The male teachers also had a chance to talk about being a man of God and I know that blessed Jake and the boys as well. While he was out with the boys, I went to the Spa for the afternoon. There were several other ladies there and we enjoyed lounging in the pools, sun and saunas! Very relaxing!
Later that night we attended Taste of the Marianas. It is a huge event located in the American Memorial Park. All the hotels have food booths, along with several restaurants and everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) gets together, eats, drinks and enjoys local entertainment. It was a great night and we can't wait to go again this coming Saturday night.
Sunday was relaxing as well - church in the morning, lunch and Tony Roma's with Pastor Dickerman, Sandy and Dean. It was a beautiful lunch and great fellowship. Then we headed back up to the house and relaxed even more by napping and hanging out on nice, soft couches!!! It was a great weekend and much needed because we are back at it with a full week.
Jake has track practice every day this week and we both will be at the Track meet that is this Friday afternoon/night and all day Saturday. Plus we have a Uke Jam on Thursday night, which is apparently the highlight event of the year! Very much looking forward to it! We'll also get to spend some quality time with good friends as well.
Life is going great here. We are looking forward to only 9 days left of school and then 19 more days until we leave for Australia.
We miss you all and love you all!
Love
