freedom!!

so i have been officially a non-working woman for 2 1/2 days now and i'm LOVING it! i realized i'm going to have to set aside time at home now to update my blog (it was easy when i had to be in front of a computer for 8 hours a day)... the past few days have been filled with busyness, but fun. on wednesday, i went down to my old alma mater, the wonderful sebc, to represent king bible club on student ministries day, along with joel and ryan. unfortunately, we didn't get a very good response from the students-no one really seemed very interested...nor did they seem interested in the other 4 ministries represented. sebc has a totally different feel than it did when we graduated...anyway, we had a slideshow going with pictures from our pool party this past weekend with the families from king.. here are some of my favorite pics: (wish i knew how to make it into a slideshow!)

party time!!:




yesterday, i went down to motown and helped my dad put up some siding on his house. he is doing a bit of adding on. i have done siding before (on mission's trips), but never wood siding, so i leanred a new trade yesterday! ryan came down after he got off work and helped, too. unfortunately, our time together barely overlapped, because i had to get back to the 'ham for a birthday dinner for aunt wendy. we went to the melting pot-which was yummy, but overrated, i thought. i didn't, however, get to try to chocolate because i had to leave to get to another party (kinda). i went back to sips n strokes with bette, her sister, jenny and mollie..i was tired, but we had a fun time! here's what we made:
