We stayed with Jerad and Kelly (and Ian, too) Gilbert (we really are going to have to start paying you guys rent) on Friday night and hung out with them for most of the morning on Saturday. In the morning we went through our pile of belongings in their basement to retrieve our forgotten bedding and to look for the mysteriously missing bike rack. Since we know the rack's not in Grand Rapids or with the other people who helped us move, we figured it had to be in the pile. We went through the entire pile but couldn't find it--so frustrating. Luckily some friends of ours (thanks Torgerson's) had a bike rack that we could borrow.
After breakfast with the Gilberts at Bevo Mill, we headed back to our old apartment building where we hoped to find C.J.'s bike still locked to a basement column. We buzzed one of our old neighbors to let us in the basement and found C.J.'s bike just as he had left it. C.J. is very happy to have it back.
We spent Saturday afternoon at the Mohr residence. It was so good to see Katie and Eliot home with Russ and for C.J. to meet Eliot for the first time. We also got to see some of Eliot's "tricks". The "Freak Out" is definitely the most entertaining! (Check out the video below)
After a quick dinner with the Torgersons at our traditional place, Qdoba, we headed over to 212 for porch night. It was so great to be back at the Seibel's and see some friends from our small group again--we love you guys! Satuday night we stayed with the Werkheiser's and went back to our church in the morning. It was amazing to worship with good friends again--just the way it's supposed to be!
Church led to lunch with Beth Werkheiser and the Mohr family. Almost 2 hours later (good times, but a VERY slow waitress) we headed back to Grand Rapids.
It was great to see most of our St. Louis "family" again, but it was tougher in some ways to leave this time. We knew we'd be back fairly soon when we left in June, but now we had to say goodbye until January. There are some exciting things that are happening in St. Louis right now, and we are really sad to be missing out. Don't talk about us like we're dead!!!

No, that's fine. Just drop by whenever you like, without notice. You can always assume that we're keeping the house spotless and fridge full, just for you.
Really, it's fine. We love you!
You don't have to pay rent if you spell Jared's name right.
Currently your bill is $342.76.
Love you guys!
I promise not to talk about you like you're dead!! Hurray for the blog!
