A Night to Remember

Well, Dr. Budahl's last Madrigal concert was amazing. How could it not be??? The music itself was terrific and the audience was so receptive since everyone was there to honor a man who has dedicated himself so wholly to God and other people. What can I say about Dr. Bu? He has had such a huge impact on so many lives, mine included. I think through him I found out that professors and people in authority were actually just real people. I spent so many Friday nights at his house playing ROOK with Hope, G-Knee, Kim and Anne. I watched him on choir tour displaying graciousness and humility every mile of the way. He has such a deep love for Jesus, which is evident even in his plan for retirement - traveling to foreign nations to reach people for Christ. It was such a great evening for me to sit, be surrounded by wonderful music and memories, and appreciate a great man that God led into my life to teach me at such a critical stage.

Enough words.

Here's some pics...

We stayed up until 2 a.m. talking. I'm still recovering - I'm not as young as I used to be!!! We went to church at the Teasdale's church in Waukesha on Sunday and had dinner with the Teasdales. So nice to catch up with them! A special thanks to my parents for babysitting our kids in the hotel on Saturday night! We also had a quick birthday party for Chloe - more pics to come from that!
