Seven Years Ago

Blast from the Past

Alright, I did a bit of digging around today in the archives and discovered that since we moved to camp, we have made a yearly trip to Holland some time in March.  Here is the post from last year.  And this is what happened after we got home.  And this one is from the year before.

Funny, almost to the day!

Alright, even reminiscent.  It's off to finish the laundry, pack us all up for ten days and figure out what's for dinner!

The Arbor

At O dark 30, Noah and Dave Douglas pulled out of camp, headed down I 75 to spend the day at Spring Arbor University.  They will be talking with students today about giving a summer to work at Barakel. This is how I ended up spending the summer of 2001 counseling here. 

SAU was a significant place for Noah and I.  It's where we meet, and dated.  It's where we formed many of our ideas about life, God, and Community.  It's where we learned all about Art, English, Biology, and History.  It's where our education in education began, where we were taught Truths about God from dear people like Ron Kopiko, Dr. Daigle Williamson, and Professor Bippes.

 

So many wonderful hours were spent in the Dinning Commons, the lounges, the classrooms and labs.  Conversations after midnight with dear friends, that although separated by miles and years, still hold such important places in our hearts.  These were the people God used at that time in life to teach us and grow us to be more like Him.

The education we received was fantastic and set a foundation for all that we continue to learn.  I am so very thankful we had the opportunity to spend four amazing years at the Arbor.  What a place! 

 

Because the Camera is Dead...

Here are a couple of photos from the archives.
The one of Noah is probably my favorite of him as a kid. So cute.


I think I still have this look on my face when I go grocery shopping.
