Just checking in
The Rau homestead was blessed with a particularly enjoyable holiday weekend--lots of food, friends, and R&R. Gaming on Friday went well; the Saturday trip to Saugatuck was accompanied by some absolutely gorgeous weather; and the weekend's remaining days involved a lot of fun visiting with friends. Michele and I were privileged to make the acquaintance of Toshiro, who turned out to be a lot less ornery than certain pictures would seem to indicate.
Among other things, my friend Jay is now officially a pastor at Boston Square Christian Reformed Church in Grand Rapids. It's certainly been exciting to watch him move along the path to ministry, and I am sure he will do quite well in this new role. Well done, Jay, and best of luck!
The next week or two is going to be somewhat busy, what with the upcoming annual conference put on by my place of employment. Michele and I did manage to fit in a short D&D game this evening--friend Heather ran Death in Freeport for us--and there are even rumors of a Call of Cthulhu game run by me happening this weekend. Fun.
And last but most certainly not least, we're gearing up for Michele's birthday next week. Come the 10th, be sure to wish her a happy birthday. I'd tell you how old she will be, but that's probably one of those taboo topics best left unspecified.
