Bonnie’s Shower and Our Spring Break Trip

Jenn, Josh, and I had a great trip up to Washington, D. C. over Jenn’s Spring Break. We had planned ahead for weeks so Jenn and I could attend Bonnie’s Bridal Shower. Bonnie’s shower was a “tea party” and a lot of fun with more than a dozen young ladies and the two moms, Mrs. Jones and myself.

Josh was also able to join us on the trip; we spent several days in Ben’s apartment and doing things together with Ben and with Bonnie in the evenings. During the week, I posted photos of some of the highlights of our trip on Facebook (follow this link if you have a Facebook account). After we got home this past weekend, I posted a video on YouTube of when we stopped to enjoy snow falling in the mountains between Tennessee and North Carolina!!

While in D. C., we went to Frontline, Ben and Bonnie’s church.

We also walked around Georgetown one night and around Old Town Alexandria where I especially enjoyed lunch at Chadwick’s in a historic building near the Potomac River.

The Christian Embassy

Last fall, we met Sam and Nan McCullough.

At the time we met them, Sus was helping Nan with her ministry, Entertaining for Eternity. Nan wanted to start a blog, which Sus encouraged her to do. She’s just getting started at EntertainingforEternity.blogspot.com.

A few weeks ago we learned they would be in Orlando again.

Sam and Nan were originally on Crusade’s campus staff overseeing the northeastern states before joining Campus Crusade’s Christian Embassy in Washington, D.C. thirty years ago. Sam is currently the director for the Embassy, leading Bible studies on Capitol Hill while Nan leads Bible studies with Governor’s wives.

The McCulloughs were in Orlando today to help celebrate the Christian Embassy’s 35th anniversary. We had a good time with them at a dinner downtown. Vonette Bright was at the dinner, too.

You might be interested in celebrating the Embassy’s anniversary, too, by signing up for the Washington Behind the Scenes event March 24-26, 2010.

Lily, Elaine, and Ivy

in FBCO with girls

Jenny made friends with three Taiwanese girls while working at Sea World this past summer. One friend, Lily, asked if she could go to church with Jenny. Elaine had been in a church service once before in Taiwan. Lily and Ivy had never been.

Today, we picked up Lily, Elaine, and Ivy and took them to First Baptist of Orlando, which has 14,000 members and has a 130-acre campus. They were impressed how big the church was, but it certainly was not a typical church experience!

The girls are leaving Orlando soon to spend some time in Washington, D.C. before returning home.

Ben Gets a Promotion

Ben at Crack Brl focus

Ben was able to come for Memorial Day weekend to help us celebrate Jenny’s graduation. It was great to have him with us for a few days.

Ben enjoys living in Washington and likes his work. He also had some good news to share with us. He just finished six months of training to be a patent examiner and because he can review a certain number of patents per week, he was given a promotion.
