Ahhh, another windy ohio day!  It was mulching day for those of us in Outdoor Ed...fun stuff.  Hard work, but alas, we need the mulch for our projects!   As we were stepping out of the trailer to head off to work (in the 1986 Dodge Ram, might i add!) I noticed a large semi-trailer coming into camp.  That's funny, i wondered.  Well, that little truck had a load of mulch, just for us!  It was a little overwhelming viewing the large pile of chopped trees looming before us...but after a hard days work, we made much progress!  The ground is drying out now, after all of the snow and rain, and work is a bit easier.  
Joe and I are making meatballs tonight...one of his favorites!  And at 7:00 we have bible study with fellow friends and staff members here at camp.  This had become a one of our favorite times during the week.  God has been teaching us some great things about himself, and his word while we gather with fellow believers.  Usually we gather in the lobby of camp, where there are sofas, a fireplace (ok, its a gas fireplace, but still...) and a comfy feel.  We would host..but, ah, well lets just say we don't have enough room, hehe.  
This past weekend we traveled home to my parents house in Milford, IN.  It was a fun weekend, spent hanging out with the family.  Libby had a bridal shower on saturday, so Mom and I drove down to Anderson, IN to celebrate with the women of the church Libby and her fiance Gabe will be attending.  Gabe is a currently a youth pastor there, and Libby has befriended many people from the church already!  We had a wonderful time...and were reminded that there is only 46 days until their wedding!   Time flies...but we are very excited.  I think their wedding is going to be so much fun, very beautiful, and such a reflection of the love of the Lord.  
We took a trip to our storage unit yesterday and found the tikki torches we had been saving for some random day...so Joe brought them home and they now reside on either side of our concrete patio.  You could say that we a slightly excited about warmer weather and campground cookouts.  Joe says he is going to "grill-out" every night.  :)  The boys next door think this is a great idea and are all planning on what kinds of meat they will bring to the BBQ.  Problem: we don't have a grill.  But....we hope to find one this spring so we can hold up our end of the bargain.
The bikes came out of storage, too.  With such a large camp, bikes will be an essential tool of life.  I love riding my bike.  Oh!  The meatballs are done...i must go an finish the rest of dinner.  Joe is making a new recipe, which i can't look at until he is done preparing the masterpiece!  I think it has potatoes and peas in it.  yum...we shall see what the outcome is.
