After Joe and Terri left last week, Brandon, Michelle and Luke Pettke came to visit us from Texas. Brandon is Ryan's second cousin. I actually knew Brandon and Michelle before I knew Ryan. Brandon, Michelle and I all graduated from high school together (Kick 'em Colts!), and Michelle and I even went to junior high together. They're so much fun to be around, and it seems we are always laughing about something.
Michelle flew in Friday afternoon. We picked up some lunch and brought it back to our house so Luke could take a nap. We later went to visit Southern. (Side note--Brandon and Michelle lived in Louisville for 5 or 6 months several years ago, so there was a lot of stuff they wanted to see again. Michelle even took a class (or two) at Southern while they were here.) We walked around and experienced the beauty of the campus. Southern really is gorgeous, which reminds me that I should one day post some more pictures of it for those of you who have never seen it. After that, we made a quick trip to Wild Oats (a healthy grocery store) to get food for Luke and then headed to McAllisters's Deli for dinner.
We picked up Brandon from the airport at midnight and then headed to bed. I worked on Saturday, so Brandon and Michelle met some old friends for breakfast. The got back in time for Luke to take a nap and for Brandon to go to Ryan's soccer game. (Ryan coaches a soccer team through Upward at our church. His kids are 8-10 years old--pretty cute!)
Saturday night we met Brandon and Michelle to have dinner at Wick's Pizza with some other friends of theirs. We then spent the night at our house just talking. Again, much laughter was involved.
We all went to church on Sunday and then headed to Joe Huber Farm that afternoon. We're all huge fans of Joe Huber Farm, so it was fun. Unfortunately, it was extremely hot and we were very limited on time since we had to be back in Louisville so they could make their flight late Sunday afternoon. We did get to watch Luke eat some ice cream, which was adorable. I'm not sure how much of it actually ended up in his mouth, but he seemed to enjoy it.
Brandon and Michelle, we love you and are so blessed to have you as family, friends and brothers in Christ!
