Moving!!!!!

This Saturday I packed up all my worldly possessions and moved them to the Varners. It was strange to see everything in boxes again, but I will be sure to get some pictures of the new place. In the meantime I am now at Master Works Festival in Winona Lake!! I am really excited to be here. I got through the first day well and am getting to know many new people. I will let you all know which orchestra I will be playing in in case anyone would like to come see me! There was definitely no reason to be nervous. Everyone here is very nice and the faculty and staff are very helpful. I can´t wait to see what God will do in the next few weeks!
And I will try to get some pictures while I am here and keep you updated.

When the Cats go away...

This is a bit delayed, but I felt the experience deserved some pictures. When Freya and Steve went to do some shopping, I was asked to watch out of the kids for the day. A little bit nervous, but equipped with a very detailed schedule I started the day off with some fun activities.
Play-dooh. I don´t really know how they spell that.

We even made Brownies. As you may know, my culinary skills are not anywhere close to some of yours, so I was a little scared about this part. Luckily we had fun doing it, the boys were good helpers and nobody got poisoned.

Cuties :)

Bingo

And the end to a fun filled day at the Varners. Most definitely a learning experience. I am happy to repeat it anytime you guys need me :)

School is out and the weather is beautiful, so Kirsten and I decided to try out a new little ice cream place in town. It is self-serve and extremely delicious.

And then Erika and I headed out to Columbus for Memorial Day Weekend. Erika, Daniel and Elizabeth had to train for their race and I decided to demonstrate motivation and go with them to the park. This is what I did while thay were running.

Mature trees in the park!

Look at these happy runners after a practice run in the blistering heat and scorching sun! Now that the race is actually over (pictures on the other blogs) I am really proud of you guys for doing it in spite of limited training!!

In Columbus we also met up with the Rudy Gang for some Greek food!! (Daniel felt like being patriotic)

Good food and fun times! Thanks for hanging out :)

And on the road again... to Marion with Erika.

Fun times at Erika´s school finishing up the school year. Congrats Erika for finishing year 2!!! Judging by this picture, the school and the kids have definitely made a lsting impression on you!
