And there was MUCH rejoicing!

If you don't know who Jenny is, let me refer you to my earlier post that I wrote when I found out that Jenny was going away. She came back yesterday! Actually, she was supposed to come back the day before, so we could see her at practice yesterday. But her flight was canceled, so she came in yesterday.

AIM's Midwest Family Camp is this weekend. It started today and runs through Monday. Our family is not attending camp because of some prior commitments, but we were planning to attend the Team Showcase today, so that Jess and Jo could present a few songs along with the rest of the team. Then yesterday I was asked to teach an elective class on video editing before the showcase. So the three of us arrived about half an hour before my class so I could set everything up. Come to find out, there was another class going in the room that my class was going to be in, so I couldn't set up yet. Hmm.

But then, through an adjacent doorway, I caught a glimpse of a very short person with very blond hair doing a very good job at leading the class that was meeting in that room. JENNY.

Jessica and I walked quietly through the doorway into the class. Jenny's face lit up when she saw us, and she got up and gave us each a big hug! "I haven't seen either of them for six weeks!" she told the class. "More like three months!" I replied. We sat in on the class for about twenty minutes before I left to set up for my class.

Jenny had been gone on the North-Central Mission Trip for six weeks. We got to see her one evening right at the end of that mission trip, and then she was in California for six weeks. She must have been outside an awful lot in California, because her hair, which used to be a dirty blond, is now very bright blond - almost bleached, but it's natural. And I'm told that she's become quite a surfer. Wow.

But anyway, surfer or not, Jenny's back, and that's all that really matters for me right now! It's going to be great having her back at practice again. I've really missed her, and I know I'm not the only one.

I'll try to post some more highlights from Family Camp tomorrow, but seeing Jenny was definitely the high point for me!
