Tonight we jetted to Ft. Wayne for her favorite dinner – Olive Garden! We met Sherilyn there and enjoyed our time together even though we had quite the interesting waiter situation. He admitted that he had just woken up and before he even brought out our drinks he brought us two small serving dishes full of Bleu Cheese dressing!?! We told him that it probably wasn’t for us and he appologized again and again. He also couldn’t figure out that it was OUR table that had the “birthday girl” after Sherilyn and I both had to tell the hostess to tell him we were a “special” table!

After dinner the ladies hit up the dressing rooms at Target. Jess for maternity clothes and Sherilyn for some $4.50 sweaters on clearance! Jess came away empty-handed, Sherilyn came away with two new sweaters for under $10!

After Target it was off to Borders. I went “hunting” through the CD/DVD section (always browsing for deals on Johnny Cash, Cirque Du Soleil, and U2). I came away with the U2 2005 Vertigo tour filmed in Chicago back in May on DVD and the girls both enjoyed some sort of over-priced coffee-drink!

A quick trip home and we’re all pretty much ready for bed. Sherilyn stayed up past 3AM in Indianapolis. She is going with Jess to school tomorrow morning to enjoy her class and teach a bit about Bosnia to the First Graders! How cool is that?

I leave you with this video of Jess being surprised at Olive Garden:
One final thing: the video of my sticking the q-tip up my nose has been viewed more than 170 times!!!

On Sunday I was given this photo.

This picture is of the refridgerator of one of our families here at Warsaw Wesleyan. Under those magnets is one of our Christmas 2005 staff-photo Christmas cards.

The daughter in this family, “Lilly”, is a dear little girl with a big heart. I think she’s 3 or 4 years old. I love talking with her and she loves to call me “Pastor Stephanie” instead of “Pastor Stevan”. Her family says that she adores “Pastor Stevan”.

This photo was taken after the mom, Amie, noticed that every other staff person was covered with a magnet except for dear “Pastor Stevan”!

What an honor!

“Prince Caspian” a big possibility!?!

Had a great lunch yesterday with these two ladies. (Jess and my sister, Sherilyn!)

Sherilyn has been visiting us since last Wednesday. She’ll be with us until sometime this weekend.

She spoke last night at Warsaw Wesleyan and did a great job sharing her heart, passion, and a challenge from the Lord for each of us to use the gifts and abilities He has bless each of us with! It was an honor to sit and listen to my sister share about what the Lord has done through her life in the last year and a half in Bosnia!

Today I spent most of the morning and early-afternoon in Ft. Wayne for a district cabinet meeting. We had a good meeting and had a chance to kind of debrief about LOGOS5 and discuss what each of us enjoyed or didn’t enjoy about the event.

Tonight is Bible study and I can’t wait to discuss this past week’s reading in our One Year Bible!
