It has been super busy here in the van Arkel household. Been camping, had lots of partys to go to and school is still in session. This past weekend was the height of busy. Friday evening, Jenna had NKT, James had to pick her up, Jan had a Salsa evening at school and I had a girlfriend night in Hoorn. Anita C. invited all her girlfriends for dinner and chitchat. Even though I wasn't really looking forward to it, it ended up being a lovely evening!!! And I got to see some friends whom I haven't seen in years. Jan had a nice time at the salsa evening although he had to wait over an hour for his train. Saturday was the big 50th birthday party for Teresa. Pictures will follow!! We had to shop for costumes (theme was 70's and 80's). We looked hot. I have to lighten the pictures and then I will post them. But they are super fun!! We had a great time and danced, laughed and drank all night. Then sunday we had a concert to go to. It was a Rock Musical Choir which has been trying to get Jan to join forever. So I guess they finally talked him into it. We then went to Caddy's (where the party was held Sat. evening) to see James and Joshua. They both landed jobs there Saturday night. Jan and I had dinner and then picked up Jenna at Teresa's. She had to finish packing and get some sleep. She left this morning for school camp. They are cycling to the campground (aprox. 4 hours) and staying until wed. afternoon. So she is going to be beat.
We are all having a terrible time with hayfever. This morning I couldn't open my eyes. I am still having trouble seeing clearly. Oh well. Such as life. And I know that it will be over soon! I hope!! I am going to get the pictures done this evening I hope! So check back soon.
