Edina~s weekend trip

This was a special time with girlfriends. Kind of a last minute idea, but it worked out. A couple of my friends were doing a road trip from Missouri to Michigan and they picked me up for the weekend. 

We went up to Glen Arbor, beautiful little tourist town in Northern Michigan with little shops and restaurants.... and an unbelievable  beach with turqouise blue water and white sand. When I first saw how beautiful light blue the lake was I thought it could have been the Carribeans and not Lake Michigan. 

We stayed at my friend`s friend`s cabin on Lake Michigan. It was so nice and comfortable, a real treat!

Our house in Michigan ----Hazunk Michigan-ben

It is so cool to finally settle down again and not live out of the suitcase for a change. We are almost unpacked. This house is such a blessing to us. We are grateful to be here. 
It is the 4th of July today. We decided to take the day easy since there is so much travelling and cleaning and packing and unpacking behind us. We took a bike ride in the morning, then Scott took Benjamin to see Cars2 in the cinema. It was Benjamin`s very first cinema experience and he loved it! 
Later in the afternoon we grilled some chicken and burgers and hotdogs and watched cartoons with Benjamin. 
Then Scott took Benjamin out for fishing while I am catching up on some emails and paperwork at home. 
I dont know if we are gonna go see some fireworks later. But either way it was a nice day. 
Olyan jo vegre megint megallapodni egy kicsit es nem a borondbol elni. Mar majdnem mindent kicsomagoltunk, amire szuksegunk van. A haz teljesen felszerelt, igy nem kell mindent eloszednunk. Nagyon szeretjuk a hazat, es halasak vagyunk erte!
Ma julius 4-e van, Amerika fuggetlenseg napja. Ugy dontottunk, hogy kenyelmesen toltjuk el a napot, mivel sok takaritas, csomagolas, koltozkodes, utazas all mogottunk. Reggel kimentunk biciklizni, majd Scott elvitte Beniket a moziba, a Verdak2-ot neztek meg, Ez volt Benike elso mozizasa. Nagyon tetszett neki!
Kesobb delutan grilleztunk csirket es hamburgert meg hotdog-ot es rajzfilmeket neztunk Benikevel. Aztan Scott elvitte Beniket pecazni en pedig itthon maradtam, van egy kis papirmunkam meg email-eket kellett elinteznem. Lehet, hogy kesobb kimegyunk majd valami tuzijatekra, de meg nem tudom biztosan. Jaj de jo nap volt!

Our FUNNY CRAZY trip up to Michigan!

 Yeaaa.... we just got our fast internet hooked up a few minutes ago! GOtta love it! 

We made it home safely to Michigan on Monday night.. actually Tuesday morning, just after midnight.

It was a CRAZY trip, it ended up being a 19 hours trip instead of an 11 hour one. 

We had a loaded trailer and a loaded van and they seemed to run fine, then when we got to Illinois, the van (or the trailer) (we couldnt figure out which one) started making weird sounds. 

Scott was really worried and stressed.... he didnt want to keep driving and potentially blowing the transmission or something serious like that.

So from then on we pulled over at almost every exit on the hwy. Scott basically pulled the van and the trailer apart, changed the wheel bearings, checked everything etc..... but nothing seemed to make a difference. 

It was really windy that day too by the way. 

After a while we noticed that the sound would stop for a few seconds every time a semi truck would pass us or when we would pass a group of trees or housing.........

It took us a few hours to put it together..... All the sudden I got a thought, IT WAS THE SOUND OF THE WIND!!!  From that moment on I was watching the sound, it would stop again and again when we passed bigger objects. I was totally right!!!! 

It took me a few hours to convince Scott too that it was only the strong Illinois wind that made the weird sounds...Poor guy, he was so stressed and suspicious that it was hard for Him to believe it first. But then we just kept driving in spite of the sound, and guess what! When we got out of the Illinois, the noise stopped completely. And the van and the trailer ran fine!

But by then we were 5-6 hours behind schedule. So it was a little after midnight when we rolled into our drive way in Hudsonville. 

We are so happy to finally be here close to family and friends and our church. And the house..... the house is fantastic!!! I will post some pictures tomorrow. Thank God for this house! 

We are so blessed to have gotten it! 

Until tomorrow then.

Unexpected visitor----Váratlan látogató

 This afternoon after I put Benjamin down for a nap, I went down to get comfortable on the living room floor and read my Bible. All the sudden I hear this strange but not loud noise. I listened a little, turned my head around but I didn't see anything. I went back to my reading. Then in a minute, I heard the noise again. This time I decided to get up and check on Benjamin, maybe he got up and got out of his bed. As I got up and looked out the window I saw this creature on our window seal. Some people might call it a harmless lizard , but to me it is not just a lizard. It is a  reminder that the time is getting closer and closer when we move to the jungle and will have hundreds of these creatures in and around our house. And I don't want to be reminded of that. Not yet at least. 

 Ma délután miután Benikét lefektettem aludni egy kicsit, lementem a nappaliba egy kicsit Bibliát olvasni. Hirtelen azonban egy furcsa, nem túl hangos motoszkálásra lettem figyelmes. Hallgattam egy kicsit, forgattam a fejem, de semmit nem láttam. Újra olvasni kezdtem. De aztán egy perc múlva megint hallottam valamit. Ekkor már úgy döntöttem, hogy felmegyek, megnézem Benikét hogy alszik-e még. Ahogy felálltam és kinéztem az ablakon, megláttam ezt a valamit az ablakunkon. Amit mások csak egyszerűen egy kis gyíknak néznének, nekem sokkal többet jelentett. Emlékeztetett, hogy hamarosan a dzsungelben fogunk élni, ahol többszáz ilyen és ehhez hasonló állat fog majd a házunk körül (és netalán a házunkban) élni. És még nem akarok erre gondolni. Még nem.
