10 Year Reunion Update

Yes, it has been 10 years since we graduated from high school! It seems like just yesterday in some ways. 10 years???

Anyway, procrastinator that I am, I am having trouble finding the perfect reunion spot. The overwhelming response was the July 4th weekend. This is a busy weekend for resorts, camping, hotels, etc.

Here's my new idea. Please respond on this blog or email me: thebryants2@gmail.com with your thoughts. Be honest.

My parents have a cabin about an hour from the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport in MN. The cabin will sleep 13 people in beds, more on the floor. If you come with your kids, we have three bedrooms downstairs that are quieter and more conducive to kids going to sleep early. We also have a camper that sleeps 6 more, multiple tents, and there are small hotels in town.

Things to do: Swimming in the river at the cabin, or in the lake in town; canoeing and fishing in the river; soccer, croquet, badminton, volleyball, rugby, etc. in the lawn or in the fields in town; hiking in the St. Croix State Park(http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/st_croix/index.html); heading into the cities for a day at the Mall of America, catching a Twins game, shopping, etc; and catching up on our lives, just relaxing in the quiet of the rushing river water, the birds, and trees.

Let me know your honest opinion. This is a good option for the cost because there is no accomodations cost and food will just be a grocery bill we split. But, it is not an "organized" reunion with a fancy resort or huge events.

I only live about 10 minutes from the airport and can pick people up and then we can rent a big van to drive up, or if you drive we could carpool up from my house.

If you have a better idea or a better place, please, all ideas are welcomed.

moving on... & prayer for our classmate

Hey all!
It's been a long time...I wanted to fill you in a bit on the next big thing in my life, if you hadn't heard...no, not getting married, or having a baby, but I am moving to a new continent - I've accepted a job teaching 5th grade at the American School of Bombay, India, which I am super excited about. Here's the link, if you're interested:
My time in Ghana has been fantastically blessed with amazing experiences and phenomenal relationships both personal and professional. I'm grateful and excited to see what is ahead. I arrive in Mumbai on July 28th... you are all welcome if you happen to pass through. It turns out that Tim Jones lives a few hours north, so I am already looking forward to catching up with him.

Also, I wanted to ask you all for prayers for a classmate of ours who would like to remain anonymous. This individual is facing some serious medical problems, which are scary in themselves but the financial aspect is also a major concern. If you would like to support financially, please contact me - katangajane@yahoo.com - and we can see how to so. I believe this is an important time for us to gather together as a prayer community to ask for strength, courage, trust,wisdom and open hearts for friends, and for God to move in the way he knows best. Thank you for your support.

Take care and keep in touch. If you do happen to go through Ghana before mid-June, my home is still open...!
