It was a fun, but busy Memorial day weekend for us. On Saturday, our church was in Bellingham's annual parade called Ski-to-Sea. Ski-to-Sea is an event where a team of 7 members race through 7 stages of a course that begins at the top of Mt. Baker with skiiing and ends in Fairhaven with kayaking in the bay. It is a race that Olympic athletes actually come and compete in for training. The city has a big parade each year the day before the race, and for the past two years, FBC has been in it. It was a very warm day - about 82 degrees adn we had to wait around for a long time, but it was fun. We were the very last entry in the parade! So we were telling everyone thanks for coming like we were the ones hosting it! Ha!
My pastor Jay Smith also graduated from Carey Theological Center with a Doctor of Ministry degree on Sunday night. 27 of his family and friends from the church went to see him get hooded. It was pretty cool. We are very proud of him and look forward to what happens next. He has been in school for as long as I have known him - who knows what he is going to do now!
Yesterday, Bethany and I had to repair the steps that go out from our back room because the support totally rotted away as I stepped on the last stair. It turned out to be more stressful than it needed to be - I am just glad B and I are still married! We got them rebuild finally and then went to a BBQ at Jay's house to celebrate the Doctorate.

This reminds me of when we tried to build the stairs for the concessions stand. Can't remember how long that took for us to finally build! Glad to hear you guys had a good memorial day!
