Happy 19th birthday Miresa!

Becky and I went on our annual school field trip to Ashland in March.
We saw quite a bit of snow from the bus.
We had plenty of time to hang out and go shopping before the play
Becky ordered a salad for lunch, and they brought one larger than her head! It was a huge amount of food!
This year's play was my Fair lady
As usual, the play was wonderful!
Group field trip shot. The field trip consists of CSF, Drama, and the Senior Class. Becky is in CSF (College Scholarship Foundation)
Becky and I went to a Spring Preview Weekend at Simpson College. The day started out with Praise and Worship.
We then got a tour of the campus, and attended a class.
The campus is beautiful. This globe was commissioned by Walt Disney. The water spins the globe.
Besides all the continents, there is a ring of people ringing the globe to represent international ministry.
These are the living quarters.
Overlooking campus
This is the prayer chapel
Becky spent the night in the dorms with these girls.
The dorms are laid out nicely, with everyone having a space of their own for privacy
There are vanities separate from the bathroom for convenience.
We had a very delayed party for James in March.
We went down for lunch, shopping, and a movie.
James made himself a special dessert treat.
We saw The Hobbit at the theatre
