After dinner we headed back to the apartment we shared with my parents and went to bed since we had just had a big day and the next day was going to be busy as well.
Most of the morning we just relaxed and we visited with Scarlet and Gray....the definitely remembered Sophie and greeted her with lots of kisses. She did not seem to mind.
We had sub sandwiches for lunch with the same group of people we had pizza with the night before plus a few more of Lisa's family.

After lunch was the ordination service. The sermon was fitting, the music was lovely, and the red stoles that Michael and Lisa had anxiously been awaiting were placed around their necks in front of family, friends, and many clergy members.

| Take Note that Michael's stole has Scarlet and Gray Tassles at the bottom. Once a Buckeye always a Buckeye. |

| Lisa and Michael with the Bishop |

| Michael and Lisa with our Youth Pastors from our childhood Seth and Shelley who are both Lutheran Ministers and their oldest son Noah who is Michael's God son. They made the trip from Ohio as well. |
It was a wonderful day and a wonderful celebration followed by a reception of very delicious cookies made by Lisa and her mom.
Dinner that evening was the famous Southern BBQ that we'd been told about several times. It definitely lived up to it's expectations along with all the fixins. Dinner was followed up with opening of a few gifts and more fellowship among family and friends.
Sunday morning we were at the airport by 8:30 and spent most of the day flying back home.
