More Details on Summer

Details are coming together regarding our summer. Here's the latest news.

First of all, we booked out flights to Anchorage and we will be there from July 4 through August 13. If anyone is wants to visit us while we're there it would best to do it right when we get there. We're actually arriving in Alaska 6 days before I start my internship so we can do some camping up in Denali National Park.

Some more exciting news about the trip is that Pam scored a job at a Starbucks in Anchorage. She will probably be working a lot, which means we'll definitely be able to keep our medical coverage and her status as a Starbucks employee in Michigan. She's really excited to show those Alaskan bumpkins a think or two about coffee-makin'.

Perhaps more applicable to the people reading this blog, we are planning a trip to Seattle/Lynden/Vancouver during the first week of June. Prospective dates for the trip are May 30 through June 6 or 7. It all depends on how long ya'll will let us stay at your places. We plan to hang out in Lynden for the first couple days at the Heisers and then up in Vancouver (where we'll meet our newest niece and nephew for the first time)!

Other than that, not a whole lot going on around here. I'm preaching my first sermon in class on Tuesday. Then I'm doing it for real the following Sunday at a Christian Reformed Church on a Navajo reservation in NW New Mexico! I'm excited but quite nervous. Why will I be in New Mexico you ask? I'm one of the youth leaders at our church and that's the location for this year's spring break server project. I plan on taking hundreds of pictures and maybe even blogging while I'm there.
