Jess came home to attend the wedding of a friend from high school on Saturday, Sept. 13. She flew into Capital City Airport in Lansing late Friday night, the 12th. Keith went to pick her up and when she arrived at the house, she was surprised to find her Grandma Wittebols here for the weekend, too! She was so happy to see her! We didn't tell her she was going to be with us for a few extra days following her Grandma's week at Senior's Week at Maranatha Bible Conference in Muskegon. I had gone to pick her up Friday early afternoon and brought her back to stay so she could see Jess, as she doesn't get the chance to see her much. We figured we would keep it quiet, so Jess would be surprised. She was VERY surprised! :)Saturday morning, she ran some errands and then came home and got ready for the wedding, which was at 2:00 PM. Then after the wedding, she came home and then went downtown and met a couple friends for dinner. She also spent the night at her girlfriend's house Saturday night. Sunday morning she attended church, then came home, ate a homecooked dinner with us and then spent the rest of the afternoon with us before packing up for her return ride to Lansing airport.
We decided, since we had to make a trip to Lansing anyway, that we would arrange for Keith's brother and sister-in-law, Ken and Judy, to meet us at the airport, so they could pick up Mom Wittebols to drive her back home. It worked out great. We were also greeted at the airport by my brother's fiance', Denise. We had a short visit with everyone and then said our good-byes to Jessica and headed back to Grand Rapids in the pouring down rain. The only negative thing about the weekend was all the rain. It rained almost non-stop from Friday noon until we arrived back to Grand Rapids from Lansing.
It was sure great seeing our daughter, even if it was just a short time. May the Lord continue to watch over her and bless her in a special way. God bless you, Jessica! You are missed!
