Happy Birthday, Valley!!

Happy Birthday, Valley Pres.!!!!! :) We celebrated our birthday with an old-fashioned block party.
We had a lot of fun. The guys ( and boys...not so much the girls..except me, Bradley, and two other girls) played Ultimate Frisbee, and the fire trucks came and sprayed some kids down! ( I wasn't one.....didn't really feel like getting wet). ...actually....a lot of kids got sprayed!! They had a snow cone machine, dinner, and fun! The weather looked bad, at first, and we heard a lot of thunder, but, by God's grace, the weather cleared up, and we had TONS of fun!
The principal of Horizon Elementary ( the school where we have church) came with his wife and daughter; Mom said it probably was a complementary visit. We had, instead of Mr. Plott talking for 45+ minutes, we had different people come up and say something, how Valley had impacted his or her life. After Mr. and Mrs. Tan had come up, Mr. Plott let anyone else do it. The principal, Mr. Richardson, stood up , and said that he wouldn't play golf against Mr. Plott, but Mr. Plott said that Mr. Richardson would beat him on the basketball court. A few other people stood up, including Mr. Plott's mom...said said that he was her "baby"....awww....

I'll see if I can get a few pictures of Valley/Horizon, and them post them... I just wanted to say...last year, this very day, Valley Presbyterian Church had it's first service. It's first service was "Beginning with the End in Mind." Sorry, but I don't remember the songs..... :(
Mr. Plott said that a goal for this new year was to get out music guy to take a Sunday off from playing. Our music guy has come to church every single day this past year....pretty amazing....!
