WE MADE IT!!!!

we are officially in michigan! we had a LONG trip! our flight was supposed to leave s.d. at 8:45 am but we actually didn't end up leaving till 11:30. apparently the battery had expired so we had to wait for a new one to be brought in. stupid airplane. we landed in st.paul at 4:30 and our next flight was at 5...we ran across the airport cause of course the two gates were NOT by each other! and you know what happens next, our luggage did not make it with us. so ben waited up till 2 am to get our luggage. fortunately he was still on cali time so it wasn't too bad. all in all the boys did REALLY good. i was very proud of them!
we've been staying with ben's brother jay and his wife cheryl and their little boy jacob. it's such a nice house and they have seperate rooms for all of us which is amazing! it's absolutely gorgeous! and after being around cali houses for so long, i'd forgotten what a nice spacious house looks like! i can't tell you what we did this morning cause it's a surprise for someone, but this evening we met up with our old small group from richland bible church. mandy fernihough set everything up and it was nice to see everyone and to watch the kids play. i also got to meet michelle ostrander for the first time which was fun cause i know her from a message board but have never gotten to meet her in real life.
now we're home and tomorrow we don't have much going on thank goodness. i think both jay and cheryl go back to work tomorrow. well, that is the update from here!
