The "New" Mulder

Today was the first day we worshipped in the newly renovated
Mulder Chapel. Pictured above is what it looked like before.

I had the privilege of participating in the enactment of Zech. 3.

It looks quite different inside.

Les Misérables

My dear friend Anne came up with the idea that we should have
a girls night, and go see Les Misérables.

It was a great show.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal with family.

Sarah's turn.

The flower girl's working on her poses.

Isn't she cute?

The dress.

The ring bearer's a bit camera shy.

The beautiful bride all dressed up and ready.

Beautiful Colours

This tree is beautiful every year - absolutely gorgeous

Engagement

On October 28, Stephen asked me to marry him.
(I obviously said "Yes")

We went out for dinner and then drove to the
President of the seminary's house, where we first met.
There, he dropped to one knee and popped the question.

Trunk-or-Treat

We had "Trunk-or-Treat" at church.
Rather than going trick-or-treating kids could go from
one car's trunk to another.
Some people had themed trunks.

There was freshly squeezed apple cider.

Some people even brought their pets.

My apologies for the lesser quality pictures. I didn't have my good camera on me.

Visit from Dad

Dad came to visit me in Holland.

We went for a hike close to the lake.

It was a bit of a climb to the top of the dune.

Very beautiful day.

Thanksgiving

I was in charge of the turkey - first one I made by myself.
It was definitely successful - fell off the bones.

We had 10 people all together. It was a great meal.

Colours

This week has been gorgeous - up to 27C

The colours are really starting to change on the trees.

I enjoy the fall colours.

On the Border

The wedding we were at last weekend was alongside the
Canadian-American border.

It was beautiful outside the next morning.

Significance of Movement

We had an assignment for Hebrew which involved mapping out Jonah's movements in Jonah 1:1-6. This was my result. What does it make you think?

Lindsay & Ken

We went to my cousin's wedding this weekend.

It was nice to be able to go for this special occasion.

Elvis is in the Friendship House

We had an Elvis impersonator come to the Friendship House.

It was for Zach's birthday.

He was pretty excited.

Iron Chef - Western Edition

We had an Iron Chef competition between
the Junior, Middler, and Senior classes.
Juniors placed 3rd, Middlers, 2nd, and Seniors 3rd.
Pictured is the winning team:
Larissa, Elsie, Stephanie, & Chelsea

Leelanau

Stephen's parents rent a cottage in Northern MI
and we went to visit for two nights.

We ate lunch in Fishtown, Leland.

We also climbed this very tall sand dune.

This is as far as we went - about half-way.

We also went on the dune drive.
The sand dune here was even higher!

For Stephen's parents this is
"The most beautiful place in the world"

We ate lunch with Stephen's Nanna before we left.
