Croatia & Italy Part 2
Here are a few pictures from the second half of our trip:
City of Dubrovnik from the wall that surrounds the city
One of the great views we saw while driving along the coast
The unexpected snow storm in the mountains of Croatia
Venice, Italy
I think this is one of my favorite pictures from the trip
This obviously does not do justice to the 634 photos what were on our camera alone --Shane and Kellie also took a lot of photos that we don't have yet. But we wanted to give you a little taste of our trip. Enjoy.

Italy was Wonderful!
We had a great time! We saw so much it feels like we've been gone for over a month! Our whirlwind tour was well worth it. We'll need to tell you about it and share more pictures in person, but here are a couple pics from the first half of our trip:
The Leaning Tower (of course)
The City of Florence
David in all his glory --this picture about cost me my life.
We'll have to tell you the story!
Coliseum in Rome
...We still have to download more pictures from
Rome, Croatia and Venice.
(More to come, but this is a good start)
Cinque Terre (our favorite spot)

We're off to Italy!
We've been preparing for months and put off packing until last night... but alas, we are ready to GO!
Have a great Easter. We'll be sure to bring back lots of photos.

One of my new favorites.....
I really love this poem I rediscovered the other day... -erik
------------------------------------------
may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old
may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young
and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there's never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile
-ee cummings

Sorry!
Sorry we have been bad about keeping up with the blog this month. We got our camera back now and have been using it, but we have not actually downloaded any photos. We'll need to work on that! This month has been busy with work travel and events...and some fun too!
To give you just a short run down of our month so far:
We had fun celebrating Brian, Brad and Erik's Birthdays at OCB and Brad's house the first weekend of Feb!
Mindy worked at "PM@BU" on Monday Feb. 4th...an Admissions Event connected to the Bethel Men's Basketball game.
We both went to Des Moines, IA for each of our jobs (high school visits for Mindy and a Convention for Erik) Feb 6-8th. The highlights of our trip were lunch at Sonic and stopping for dinner in Owatonna with Mindy's family.
Then Mindy worked at Bethel's Campus Visit Weekend Feb 10-11.
Monday Feb. 11, we had our Broomball Finals. Unfortunately, we lost our first game and were out of the finals. It was such a weird game, horrible ref and just seemed really 'off.' I don't know how to explain it. Oh well, we had a great season (3-1-1) and hopefully we'll have better luck in the finals next year.
Valentine's Day included simple gifts and a nice dinner at home. Oh, and we watched LOST. :)
And we spent last weekend at the cabin with Erik's dad. We did a lot of snowmobiling and just hanging out. It was a nice relaxing time after working a lot! We also got to play with Gracie (the puppy --who has doubled in size already!)
Last night I watched one of my fellow youth ministry majors from college (Katie Blu) on "Deal or No Deal." It was absolutely unreal to watch her on TV!! I was screaming the whole time!
(sorry I don't have the pictures to include with this post)
