IWU TRIP / OCTOBER 07

We got a call from Devin on Monday, Oct 1st saying that the chorale at IWU was singing back up in a concert Friday, Oct. 5th with POINT OF GRACE!!! So, we made quick arrangements to get to IWU to see this wonderful event. We left Thursday, the 4th, drove 10 hours and got there about 11:30 pm. This was the first shot I was able to get with Devin. The chorale was about to sing in chapel. Jeffrey and Devin both sing in the chorale. Jeffrey sings baritone and Devin sings 1st tenor. They are still good friends. It's so wonderful to see them together again. Love ya Jeffrey! Thanks for getting us on the cruise ship first Jeffrey Gentry!! I'll never forget you for that!Lori Maxey (Devin's babysitter) and her baby, Katherine (4 mos) went too! They drove up separately. Lori is an alumni of IWU and thoroughly enjoyed her trip. Baby Katherine was not however, enjoying her photo opp w/ these 2 handsomes! Funny how things turn around ... we sent Lori off to school when Devin was a young boy ... now she was here to send him off to college. Amazing. Just the guys being silly. As usual. This is the lobby of Devin's dorm. The two barstools in the background sit in front of the desk where Devin works. He works 6 hours a week at the front desk making a little jingling change as Pa would say.
This is the chorale w/ POINT OF GRACE in front. The concert was awesome! They sang, "The Great Divide", "God Loves People More Than Anything", and "Keep The Candle Burning", with them.
Cindy Jensen (Jeffrey's Mom) went with Bob and I. So we captured a few "sweet" shots w/ Devin.
Was sooo good to see Devin. You can't imagine how happy he is at school. He plainly told us that he missed us but that he was not homesick in any way! Good for you Dev! We are just as happy for you! You're doing GREAT and God is doing incredible things in you and through you! WOW - we're so jealous of your school. We want to go there and get real smart too!!!

We're so weird!! Normal is way too boring!

After the concert, Jono Blackburn arrived from SWU. He spent several days of his fall break staying with Devin and Zeldrick in their room. Hated you missed the good stuff Jono! Bob is leaning back like we can't see him! Laura Kennedy is on the right side beside Dev.
