Tennis Tournament, Hope Vending, and Mother's Day!

Bella's team competed in the Mid-Hoosier Conference Tournament last Saturday. Bella came in as runner-up in the #1 Singles bracket. In the championship match, she played an opponent who she had beat in the regular season (although it was a super close match), but she couldn't quite seal the deal on this particular day. Still, her performance earned her All-Conference. 

Also, her team was undefeated in conference during the regular season, so they were the MHC champs!

Curtis and Andy went into business together by purchasing a vending machine and setting it up in our town square. A percentage of sales will benefit a local non-profit called Students' Fund of Hope. During the first year Andy and I were married, there was a vending machine outside a small business that was a few blocks away from our apartment. They sold cans of Fanta soda for 25 cents. We have fond memories of walking to that vending machine and buying soda from it during those early marriage days. So, on the very first evening this vending machine was installed, the five of us walked down to the square and made the first purchases. 

Cheers to Hope Vending!

The next day was Mother's Day and I received breakfast in bed! 

The youth in our church were in charge of the whole service, so Andy actually sat with me during church!

Graydon and Curtis each had scripture readings.

Bella delivered part of the sermon. 

Me and my babies!

After church, we went out to lunch at Papa's Grill and then went for a family walk in a nice area of Columbus that had walking trails. Family together time will always be my favorite.
