Why do we live in Michigan?

Well, it never fails that all the snow melts and we all get Spring fever and then we get slammed with some more snow. And the second day of Spring on Easter weekend none the less! These are the times when I wonder why we live in Michigan and then I remember all of our family and friends live here too! How could we leave? I got an email from our timeshare program offering a great 3 night deal in Orlando where we just stayed and free Sea World/Aquatica tickets and I was actually on line looking up cheap tickets to Orlando in March or April then I came to my senses.
We are actually in the middle of planning our Grand Canyon /Las Vegas trip with my sister Kristi and her husband Brian in late April which we are very excited about. It will be a chance for us to see the Grand Canyon and all of God's creation out there and see Hoover Dam and many other amazing things and spend time with Brian and Kristi in a warmer climate without our children. We love our kids, but are looking forward to some adult time together and relaxation. We have never been to Vegas before and don't worry about us, we have no interest in gambling or any of the things Vegas is known for. We hope to just relax by a pool and maybe visit a spa or just walk around. If anyone has any tips for visiting the Grand Canyon or Las Vegas, please e-mail us or post a comment.
We wish you all a glorious Easter Sunday as we all remember Christ's sacrifice on the cross, but most of all His Ressurection!!! He Lives!! May you all have safe travel and time with your friends and families as you reflect on His great Love!!

Please pray for my sister, Kristi as she and Brian have decided to stop her chemo treatments. She has peace from God that the cancer is gone and that her CA125 levels will continue to drop without the chemo treatments and is experiencing strong side effects from them. Please pray for her continued peace and complete restoration of her body.
In Him who gives us strength,
Lori
