The Hand Clan: It's beginning to feel like Fall

I think it's the cooler mornings and cooler nights . . . and the beautiful fall sunsets . . . and Brian getting into the school routine . . . and beginning to plan fall youth events/Bible studies. Brian has enjoyed his first week at PBU (Philadelphia Biblical University). His classes have been engaging and interesting, and he's begun to realize how much reading he'll have. He's already been up until almost 2am reading one night this week. And, it's been cool discussing his different readings together. His schedule will get a little busier too as coaching football starts in a week or so.

Other things we've been up to this week:

Getting Mike and Jenna's apartment ready for them to come home, getting a few groceries for their frig, making a meal for them to have when they get home, and getting their wedding present together:

On Wednesday night, Brian picked them up from the airport. We had a chance to catch up with them a little that night. And, the following night we had some extended family over to see Mike and Jenna too. I loved hearing about their honeymoon -- I love learning about other areas of the world. They had some great stories and pictures from Greece. I'd so love to go on a Meditteranean cruise some time.

Last night we had a BBQ with one of Brian's friends, Brad who was in town from California. And, today we local wedding reception for Mike and Jenna. Friends of our from church had the get-together at their house. It was a fun time, with a few reinactments from the wedding :)
