Okay, this is just a quick post to say that after today we only have ten days left in the states! It feels really weird that we will soon be embarking on the next step of our life together and we have no idea where that step will eventually lead us. Crazy.

For now we are still visiting friends and family in Michigan. We had coffee and donuts with our friends Karen & Juanito and their beautiful children. Then we had some great Indian food with our friend Bock who is an amazing artist and sometimes a dance partner for Brooke. After that we had coffee with another friend, Brian, who just moved to North Carolina but is back in GR for a bike race. He's a professional cyclist. From here we're headed to dinner with some folks who used to be in the youth group that Brooke and I worked with at Harvest OPC. After that we have a birthday party for our friend Jeannie. Needless to say I'll be ready for bed tonight.

It'll be nice to get back to St. Louis next week and have a few days to catch our breath before we leave for New Zealand. Oh yeah, did I mention that we do that in TEN DAYS!!!!
