Mirror Maze
This weekend we also did something called the "mirror maze", which is this huge maze made out of mirrors. Mirrors, not beers. [Earlier I was telling a friend that I went through the mirror maze and she thought I was saying beer maze. Lesson learned. I need to work on pronunciation.] Anyways, I would say that Bryan and I got our twelve dollars worth out of this thing. We went through it forwards, backward, raced each other from each side, and did a couple more rounds after going wine tasting. Overall, super fun!
P.S. I would also like to point out that Bryan did not participate in the wine tasting; however, I did. I would also like to add that I somehow improved my mirror maze time after wine tasting and managed to beat Bryan by whole minutes. I am a mirror maze champ!
Something to look forward to
This weekend we felt so blessed to be a part of Henri and Dianne's 60th wedding anniversary. It was amazing to watch all seven of their children tell beautiful stories all weekend rich with laughter and love and know that it was their marriage that laid the foundation for it all. Bryan at one point asked if they had advice for all the newly weds in the family and his grandpa said [paraphrased because I have an awful memory], "It's hard work. Every evening we said grace and after grace we kissed each other. Make sure you kiss each other, even if you are gritting your teeth and don't want to. And it doesn't hurt to say you're sorry a lot." Later he added, "and it doesn't hurt to say I love you a lot."

On a Boat with 40 High Schoolers
If you are around Bryan and I enough, you'll hear us talk about our kids. By that, we mean the kids we love to love on at our church. Sometimes that's all we talk about. We love to brag about them because they happen to be some of the most inspiring and most wonderful people we know. This past week I got the pleasure of spending a week with some of them on houseboats. It was a life-changing week to say the least (a conversation much more suited for face-to-face time over a cup of coffee). But I just wanted to post a picture or two just so you guys can see the people who my heart swells with joy for. I love these kids to death and I am just so excited for what God is doing in their lives.
The faces in this picture are hilarious!

I love eating outside.
Someday we will have a house that has a dining table outside and there we will have family dinners every sunny day. But until then, we pack our dinner in our backpacks and walk till we find a grassy knoll.
