November Trip to St. Louis

Stefani made the long trek to St. Louis during the beginning of November. She enjoyed the wonderful weather and the leaves still being on the trees. 
Stefani's first stop was to see her best friend, Carolyn. She had a rough month and needed long over due visit. 
Next up was visiting the folks at Andrews Academy. It was so much fun catching up with her former co-workers. She also got see how tall her second graders are getting! They are 4th graders now! My how time flies!! After Andrews, it was time to visit Stefani's Grandma Marrah. She recently had knee replacement surgery and was homebound. Stefani also got bonus visits with her cousins Katie, Cynthia, and Mandi.
Friday was spent with Stefani's parents. After an afternoon of shopping together they headed to dinner with one of Stefani's friends, Sarah, for a mini baby shower since we missed her original shower. We had fun catching up. We can't wait to meet baby Sheppard!
Saturday, Stefani ventured to the Concordia Publishing House tent sale. She found great deals on books and Bible study supplies for Joshua. It was definitely worth the drive from Northern Michigan. After scoring book deals, Stefani went to dinner with her best friend, Christine, and her daughter, Alyssa. They enjoyed having a girls night out.

Sunday was Salem Lutheran's annual Sausage Supper. Stefani decided to volunteer to help out and visit with the folks from her home congregation. When she was finished she bought 3 take out meals and headed to her grandparents' (Gavisk) house. They had a good food and good visit. 

On Stefani's last day she went to the Zoo with her best friend, Carolyn, and her son, Noah. The weather was perfect for a day outside.

The tortoises!

Stefani really enjoyed visiting with everyone and catching up. 


God's Blessings,


Joshua and Stefani
