ARE YOU READY?!?

NATS Game!

We celebrated the end of school by attending the Nats game vs. the Detroit Tigers on Monday, June 18. The game was eerily reminiscent of the Spring Break game we attended - except the Nats' 9th inning comeback fell one run short this time!

Riding Metro to the game.

Some of the group waiting for the game to start.

Game action: notice the Detroit base runners - there were too many during the game!

The sad final score!

IMPACT VERSE/ COLOSSIANS

This is just a friendly reminder to those going on Impact; remember to read the book of Colossians and memorize the verse (Colossians 3:17). Once you have done that, don't forget to e-mail me so that I can check your name off of the list. My school e-mail is lcgilbert@bluefield.edu. Hope you are having a WONDERFUL last week of school! God bless!

Anniversary Time!

Randa and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary yesterday! Natalie, a former youth and current student at Georgetown College (KY), blessed us with free babysitting for the evening, allowing us to enjoy dinner, a movie, and dessert together! Thanks Natalie!

We ate at Mike's American Grill in Springfield. We had always heard it was a great restaurant, so we decided to give it a try! Randa enjoyed the Filet Mignon and I had the Baby Back Ribs. Our waiter said the ribs were his favorite and I can understand why - they were excellent! Outside we ran into Caitlin, a graduating senior who was celebrating with her grandparents. Caitlin took our picture outside the restaurant. Ainsley accompanied us on this anniversary dinner and was a big hit with everyone!

After dinner, Randa fed Ainsley and we dropped her back at the house and put her to bed so that we could enjoy a movie. We intended to see Waitress, but ended up seeing Gracie instead, due to a change in start times. The movie was good and we had the whole theater to ourselves!

After the movie we swung by the drive-thru at McDonald's and ordered some McFlurries to cap off the evening! All in all, it was a great and relaxing anniversary!

It's Friday - Laugh!!!

I saw this on the news the other night. It is called "The Dancing Cadet" and it is hilarious!
