We just got back from a great trip to Paradise Island, Bahamas last week! It was awesome. We spent lots of time by the pool and at the beach and relaxing in the sun. We also went to the Nassau side and saw the straw market. That's where local people sell things they've made like straw baskets, jewelry, purses, etc. It was a truly beautiful place and we had a good time all spending time together! I asked everybody their highlights from the trip and here they are:
Andy- swimming at the water park part of the resort and the Straw Market
Pete- movies in the resort theater and snorkeling
Mom-lazy river and no snow (!) :)
Dad- lazy river and all the beautiful tropical plants
Me- Straw Market and tanning by the pool!
It was a wonderful trip and we all enjoyed slowing down and being together. It was so beautiful-we really saw the beauty of HIS creation! We hope you are all having a great start to your spring! -lilli

Andy's Turn
Hey everybody. Its my turn to run the blog so I'll do my best to make it awesome. I'll try and give it a hip new twist but we'll see what happens. So this is the Meyers' Family Blog Remix.
This Summer
I think we are all really looking forward to this summer. Lilli is going to the Dominican Republic again this summer as an intern. Mom doesn't have a class for the summer yet. Dad is going to continue working at American Family. Pete is going to be golfing a lot this summer. I am planning on working (don't know for sure where yet) and detassling again. Betsy and Meg don't currently have plans.
Panther Basketball
The UNI Panthers won Saturday night against the Evansville Purple Aces. They not only won the game but they won the whole conference, getting them a #1 seed in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. We are all pretty excited. Go Panthers!
Church Events
We have all been participating in many church events. Lilli and I help lead our Monday night high school church group called FCR. Pete attends CHAOS (Christ Has All Our Solutions) on Wednesdays along with me. Lilli goes to Big House on Wednesdays. Its like CHAOS but for older people. On Sunday nights we go to youth group at Cedar Falls Church of Christ.
Mom and Dad Facebook
Everyone with a facebook, we need your help. Me, Lilli, and Pete have been trying to get my parents to get a facebook page. So if you want them to join please say it in a comment on this post. We need your help.
