Weekends go too fast!

We were thrilled to celebrate the wedding of Katie Helder and Nolan Wiersma this past Friday night. The wedding was at Niekerk CRC, Katie's home church and was just beautiful with all of Katie's personal touches. The reception was in Grand Haven above Portobello's Restaurant and was a great time of good food, fellowship, and even a little dancing! :)

Saturday we worked outside on our yard all day attempting to get our landscape finished up the way we want it. We made hobo pies in our new firepit (wedding gift) so that was kind of fun! I have always LOVED hobo's but hadn't made them since the old camping days so when I found the hobo makers at my shipshewanna trip a few weeks ago I just had to buy them! Daris loves it too, even though it requires a little more work on his end building a campfire...........

Sunday we had an awesome message at church and then visited Daris' grandma DeeDee who just recently returned from a trip to Alaska to see family. Then home for a great lunch and took a long walk down 62nd to explore our surroundings and all the new development out that way. Took a ride with my grandparents later on that night and ended the night sharing my first pumpkin pie with them! :)

Last night the whole family when out to eat to the Butler to celebrate Michael's 27th birthday.(Which was August 7) That was a great start to the week!

Please be in prayer for our friends Steve & Shelley's daughter Brooke who is in the hopsital with some blood anti-body issues.

Time for an update from the (Not so newly) Married!

So as you can see, I have s l o w l y attempted to figure this blog thing out but after getting addicted to keeping up on everyone else's thought I would join in!

We have had a very busy but amazing summer. We have had bachelor/bachelorette parties, weddings, weekends at Silver Lake, and time around the house getting settled. For the most part I would say we are finally there! There are few things left on the "honey-do" list, but from what I heard there will always be " a list" so I'm trying to pick my battles wisely.........

Hope you are all enjoying your summer as much as we are! Hopefully I can remember to take some pictures of SUMMER 2008 before it is over! :(
