A Visit to FSU and More

Mike, Sus, and Jenny drove to Tallahassee so Jenny could check out FSU, since it is one of the top schools for studying creative writing. FSU is currently her top university choice after high school graduation. We took a tour and talked with some professors, then we went to visit Ben. The next day, Ben gave us a tour of the physics department and showed us the laboratory classroom where he teaches. (Jenny is pretending to be one of his students in the photo.) We also walked around campus a bit before heading back home. We stopped in Gainesville and … Continue reading A Visit to FSU and More

Saint Augustine

Sus joined Jenny and a bus load of students for a history field trip to Saint Augustine. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time visiting some of the historic sites and museums.

Our Annual Beach Trip

Drive-in Movie Night

It was a chilly night but a lot of fun. We were looking forward to a double-feature drive-in movie night at Campus Crusade’s Headquarters. Our office, the Information Technology Group, helped with cooking, parking, and more. We had a good turnout with lots of families. Our staff had a large screen set up and people could even watch the movies from their cars and listen through their car radios. Mike helped grill hundreds of hot dogs. You can see a photo of Mike on our main ministry site. Jenny invited her friend, Nicole, and we settled in our folding chairs … Continue reading Drive-in Movie Night
