rózsa emlékek: Labor Day Weekend...

Last weekend we went to Bloomington and had a great time with family and friends. We arrived Saturday morning to the Smith's house for hanging out with baby Ella and then we headed to Karst Farm for the annual Hoosier Cup for some high school soccer. This has become an annual event (unplanned on our part) when we've gotten together with our friends, Gretchen and Adam, and the rest of Gretchen's family to watch her younger sister, Francesca, play. After the game we were on our way to Indianapolis where we spent the rest of the day/evening with Viktor's friend (Tom) and his family. Tom and Beth host many International students over the years and this year they are hosting a Hungarian student, Peti, along with 2 Koreans and a Brazilian. It was fun to bring together these various cultures for Hungarian Gulyas (made by Viktor) in honor of Peti's birthday. It was a special homemade meal for his first birthday overseas and away from home. After dinner we made our way back to Bloomington to catch some sleep at Kristen's parents house before our next visit over breakfast with our good friends, Nick and Jen, from church. We accompanied them to church where we were welcomed as always by our precious friends and church family. It was so great to see everyone, including some of the youth kids we got to know over the past year. They are special people. After church we made our way downtown for lunch with Dave and Courtnee, who we got to know through working at Bloom last year. They are both on staff with Campus Crusade and we've had a lot of fun getting to know each other over the past few months as we've transitioned out of Bloom and into new ministry. After a little walk around the 4th Street Art Festival we made our way back out to Kristen's parents where we spent the remainder of Sunday and all day Monday on the lake. It was a much-needed time of rest with family before our trip back to KY where classes were awaiting us on Tuesday morning. It sure was a busy weekend, but we enjoyed the time with everyone so much.

The first week of class is behind us and all is well. We trust you had a great holiday weekend and pray a special blessing upon all of you who are starting out another semester of school, whether teacher, student, or parent.

Here are some pictures from the weekend:
