                                         BEARS IN NAKNEK ON AN EVENING FLIGHT

                                                               MICHIGAN VACATION



I have come to realize that either our lives aren’t exciting enough to update the blog weekly, not enough happens, or I just am not as motivated as some. Haha. I could start writing about poems or song lyrics, solving world problems with a very opinionated forum or taking pictures of our dinner. Oh wait, that’s facebook.  :-D
Anyway…
Our activity has certainly slowed down, but we still had a great rest of the summer. The last time I wrote, all the teams were gone and there were just a few “stragglers” left. We had a wonderful time with Bobbie Overgaard here helping at the radio station after the Net had closed for the summer.
The very end of July we took a much over-due trip to Michigan. I spent a few years growing up there and hadn’t been back since 5th or 6th grade. Almost 20 years! Jeremy has never gone. We also hadn’t seen my grandparents since Malachi was 8 months old. It was great catching up with them. We also got to drive by my old house and see a childhood friend who I hadn’t seen in years as well. Malachi had a wonderful time! We were constantly go, go, go with activity. My parents have only been in Bellaire a little over a year and have a house right on a Lake with a pontoon and everything. They are also close to Lake Michigan where we spent a few days throughout our trip on the beach. We also went fishing, went to a fair, ate our years supply of ice cream, spent a lot of time outside, etc. It was fun to watch Malachi explore and discover new things.  We were gone for a tad over three weeks, so we got used to being there and hard to leave. It was nice to come home too.
While we were gone the radio station went “hay-wire” for lack of a better terms (and that I don’t want to go into a huge, technical description). It was actually off the air for about two weeks. Problem solved now though.
Now that we are home, we are back to the usual activities. Jeremy has been busy working on stuff here at the radio station being Mr. Fix It on some things related to being off the air. He has helped a guy here with his Annual on his airplane as well. The weather hasn’t been very cooperative on Sundays for flying, but he still has plenty of things to do.
I have started leading the local Women’s Bible Study again and we had our first week on Thursday with 9 ladies! (average is 5 or 6)
The biggest thing coming up in just two weeks is called AWAKEN. I have mentioned it before, but it is a Youth Retreat that we help out with here once a year. It was started by our good friends and it has been a lot of fun helping out with since living here. It also takes a lot of preparation, helpers, money and good weather too! Half of our attendees and some leaders are from different villages, so there are lots of flights that take place this week. It is Sept. 19th-21st if you think of it! ;) I will try to update shortly after that, so stay posted!

Blessings!
