Bob Evans last night

Just wanted to share with you a special moment from our dinner out last night with the Postiffs. They wanted to take us out since we were finally able to pay them back the money they loaned us 12 YEARS AGO! Ugh!
    Anyway, they were picking us up and I think they wanted us to pick the restaurant, so I chose the new Bob Evans by Meijers (I think they were working on that strip mall before you died). Little did I know what a great choice that would end up to be.
  It didn't start out the greatest because when we got there, Rachel Mauck was the greeter. It was nice to see hear and she gushed over us and the Postifffs, but it was a little annoying because she kept coming over to our table and talking about everything, like TMI.
   One of the best parts of the night, though, was when we found out our server, Sera Smallish, was a junior at SHS. Dad asked her if she knew Hope and when we told her our last name, she realized that we were your parents. She said she knew you and she prayed for our family every night. She just kept saying how she was so excited to meet us. She also told us she knew Carrie (Carrigan Theisen-your prom date). I asked how she was doing and she said she was at school (Albion) and that she had a boyfriend. I told her to tell Carrie we said hi. (Even though she broke your heart/you were bummed that she didn't want to continue the relationship, I still think of her fondly for being a great prom date to you. I think you had a great time with her. I think of you and her when I listen to Josh Groban's songs "What I Did For Love" and "That's All I Ask of You." I think I alluded to these songs in another post. I also think of you and her when I hear this new song by Taylor Swift called "Wildest Dreams". I think that song was out before your accident. I like it because it talks about "standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset"and "red lips and rosy cheeks" and "he's so tall and handsome as h***". I'm guessing even though she might have liked you, she didn't want to start something up the summer before everyone leaves for college).
  Back to Sera, it meant more to me when she told us she prays for us when I found out she is a Christian. She attends Saline Community Church which is in the 5th Corner building right around the corner from us and attends two youth groups per week. When Rachel was at the table, we invited them both to church, so maybe they will come some time. She probably said 5 times how nice it was to meet us. That was all because of you, sweet boy! Love you!
