date night

had a great date with Ronni last night.  her grandmother (grand Virginia Wulff, Ronni's dad's mom) passed away on Monday afternoon, and that's been kind of heavy on her heart, so it was nice to just spend some time together, the two of us.  Amanda watched the kids for us while we buzzed around the south eastern Ann Arbor area.

went to Wendy's to eat (love that value menu), where we stood in line next to someone who works at the Milan post office.  Chad, if I remember right.  (Wendy's has got to put their drink machines out so that the employees don't have to do all the refills.  get with it already, Wendy's!)

stopped by Lowes to get some light bulbs - we've had a ridiculous number of burned out bulbs in the last week.  while browsing for bulbs, ran into someone we know from church who we hadn't seen in months - what a wonderfully God-arranged encounter.

went to Starbuck's to grab a drink and chat for a while.  had a fun conversation about this year's "Bachelor" show.  looked up and saw Hannah Metler ordering a drink - she was a student when we served the church as youth leaders, and now is all grown up, has a place of her own and everything.  she's responsible for the www.zingermansdeli.com website.  way to go Hannah!

funny, three places, three very different but enjoyable encounters.  not to mention a sweet time together.  none of it planned, really, all of it sort of spontaneous.  kind of cool when life works that way. 

oh, and did I mention we're expecting a new birth (number 3 for us) in June?  thanks, God.
