Two will become Three!

I think most everyone knows by now but we are excited to announce we are going to have a BABY! Due date is December 20. (Hopefully before?!?!) 15 Weeks down, 25 to go!
I have been feeling really great with the exception of being tired but I can deal with that! I have had 2 doctor appointments so far and we have been able to hear the heartbeat both times which is amazing! Next doctor's appointment is July 14 so stay tuned for more updates!

Great food, friends and FUN!

This weekend we had the opportunity to get away for the weekend. We went up to Manistee with our small group to our leaders, the Hubers, cabin. Here's a picture of what it looks like:


Friday night we stopped to grab dinner at McDonald's on the way up. Then once we got there we got out the snacks and games!
Saturday we took a walk down to the lake and walked on the icebergs of Lake Michigan. So beautiful! We saw deer, bald eagles, and wood peckers out the cabin window a few times which was really neat!


Daris, Rob, Josh, Jason, Tom, and Terry



Nancy, Molly, Layne, Leann, and Leslie

Can you tell I'm a lefty?
Saturday night we had an awesome dinner and played more games and just relaxed. The guys also had a ping pong tournament going so that kept things interesting. Sunday morning the guys made us breakfast which was fabulous! They even took "custom" orders for omelettes!
We were all really sad to come home but had a really great time! We are so blessed to have made some really great new friends from Central and have really enjoyed being part of a small group. Can't wait for the next event!

Birthday Weekend!

Happy (late) Valentine's day!
I started out my birthday celebration by meeting my mother-in-law Barb at Spectator's for lunch Friday. It was nice to catch up with her and hear what they have been up to. She also spoiled me with a new purse and beautiful roses! Then Friday night my whole family got together for dinner at Crazy Horse. We were even lucky enough to have my girlfriend Amber wait on us! After dinner we stopped in to see Grandma Draisma at Resthaven and wish her happy valentine's day.

Saturday I got to sleep in and then hit breakfast at Windmill Restaurant with my mom and sister and then headed off to Muskegon for an afternoon of shopping. We also got pedicures in the mall which was my favorite part of the day! Saturday night Mike & Beth invited us over to their house for dinner with our cousins Ross & Sarah. After seeing the restaurants PACKED at 5 O'clock already I was all about skipping the waiting game! It was great food and conversation!

Sunday we went to church then to Daris' dad's house for lunch with his family. Sunday night we had small group at the Huber's. It was a busy weekend but was a lot of fun. Hope everyone else had a great "love" weekend!
