College Retreat

We had our annual spring/winter college retreat this past weekend - definitely a bittersweet time as it our last major event with our college kids before moving on to Harvest C.C. in a few short weeks.... The exciting thing for us is the fact that my younger bro Kyle and his wife Sarah will be moving to Mesa this summer to take over this particular ministry for us, so we know we are leaving them in very capable and awesome hands!
Aaron definitely had fun this weekend and it is such a cool thing to see him really begin to enjoy and warm up to other people - he has always been so anti-stranger as an infant so it is fun to see him ham it up with the students....

He even found himself a girlfriend this weekend - our high school pastor's daughter, Ivana.... In fact, this was often the scene when they were in the same room together....
He did very well with the crazy schedule and lack of sleep. Out of the whole weekend, there was really only one rough spot with him in an afternoon that contained a long-lasting temper tantrum. Eventually, it was cured after getting outside for a distraction and throwing rocks in the pond with Dad.
We love our students and will miss them greatly. Thanks for a great weekend guys!
