Derek's Graduation and the Weekend


 We had a very busy and blessed weekend.  On Saturday, we went out to the Richter's in the morning and were privileged to experience a pig roast - very interesting.  The end product was delicious and worth the long wait!  Amanda and I baked brownies all morning in preparation for Derek's high school graduation on the following day.  We had a day full of fun, fellowship, amazing food, and most of all, friends - brothers and sisters in Christ!

  Sunday was great!  We went to Derek's graduation in the afternoon and then went back to the Richter's for continued fellowship, more games, more fun, and more amazing food.  Here are some of the photos that I got over the weekend.
