after st. louis, we dropped alli off at mal's house and spent the night at a hotel in oklahoma city. then we went to church at northview and got to hang out with the baileys... all four of them, and emily, tommy's girlfriend. it was awesome!

then we headed to texas to visit uncle jim and aunt betty and tim, virda lynn and keith and jake, ben and dwayne.
tim, uncle jim, and aunt betty took us to the decatur memorial park...

Q 2006. we picked jonathan up from the airport and hung out with the quizzers for the week. i got to hang out with lots of friends... adam and mallory from snu, alli's friends from kansas: anya, casey, missy, and of course allison!, northwest illinois pieoples: kent, kayla, kirsten, kyan, amy jo, nathasha!, friends from ohio, friends from olivet: matt, jason athialy, aleesha, new friends: steven, cody, and many more!! it was a blast! we played many rounds of rook.
one night we went to the memorial... it was me, anna, brooke, teri and theresa schnipke, mom and dad. it was really neat, and sad, but beautiful. here are some pictures... and anna and brookey used sidewalk chalk and drew messages on the path.
