Running back to Saskatoon

Melissa and I made a little trip to Saskatoon last weekend. We headed up for Dallas and Heidi's wedding. We even slipped out to Bethany to go check it out. First time I've been there since 2003. We ran into a few people at the college like Erica Scammell (almost Baerwald), Kelsie Lynn (Kahn), Rosemary Thiessen, and Dave Carey. It was quite fun to chat with them and really neat to show Melissa the college.
On top of that, we snuck over to the Siebert's to pay them a surprise visit. This was very exciting as Phil and Shirl had us sit down and join them for lunch and participate in one of my all time favorite things: discussion with Bethany greatest professor of all time. It amazes me that to this day when Phil talks I'm both inspired and encouraged. He was my mentor for two years at Bethany and let me into his life a little bit. I love that man it was a privilege to be able to share some time with him.


Of course the whole reason for which we went up to Saskatoon was Dallas and Heidi's wedding. This was a great time as we were able to visit both with Dallas and Heidi on Thursday night and then connect with lots of other Bethany friends as well. Dallas had Jon Hamm, Josh Pauls, his friend Curtis, and myself stand up with him. We had a great time and even through Dallas into the pool at the rehearsal dinner.

Great wedding fun times! We saw lots of people and then drove home. It went by quick but was lots of fun.
