Updates
Hi everyone! Sorry I'm kind of a slacker when it comes to blogging...I'm addicted to Facebook so I don't get on here often. :) Well, I just thought I'd give you all updates on what's been going on in our lives.
Mom and Dad- They're still working, helping with lots of our school activities, and Mom's getting ready for the summer break. Dad helped make a lot of prom decorations.
Andy- He is playing soccer for the high school team right now and really liking it. He was really excited to be dressing Varsity. He's also getting ready for driver's ed. this summer (scary!). Andy plans on detasseling this summer and maybe working at the pool.
Pete- He's also playing soccer and is his team's goalie. He had a great game Saturday and made tons of saves! Pete is getting excited to go on his school trip to Washington, D.C. right after school gets out. He's also going to be playing baseball this summer.
Lilli- I just had prom last weekend and it was so fun! We had a really good time. :) On a different note, I've had a change of plans regarding this summer. I will not be going to the Dominican Republic. I had been feeling like GOD was telling me "you're not supposed to go this time, Lil" because my plans pretty much fell apart and I wasn't able to get plane tickets. Also, I talked to the missionaries there and they are going through a lot of changes in their children's/youth ministry right now and felt like it would not be a good learning experience for me. So, I am going to stay home this summer and help at a camp, do some local mission work, and start my internship under my youth minister early! I was disappointed but I know that obviously GOD did not want me there right now and it will still be a good summer! :) Thank you for your prayers and support. They were appreciated.
Have a great week! Jesus Loves YOU!

The Bahamas!
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!
