‘House’ about a new dig?
We finally got in all of our paperwork for an official home mortgage pre-approval! Not one of those chincy prequalification letters that amounts to nil once you’ve happily fallen in love with the house you want. Oh no! We’re setup to go on the real deal. We even received notice of our credit scores in…

Friends and Priorities and Reasons to Celebrate
When I was young, we had parties for birthdays, to celebrate the start of summer, or to mark holidays and graduations. In college, we threw parties because it was the weekend, or Thursday, or maybe a game day or a day that ends in “Y”! Now, we like to host parties when it has been…

Zoom Zoom!
Oh, we are rollin’ in this marriage! Picking up speed and ease! Freddy and I submitted a packet to a Realtor this week that was filled with all of our hopes and dreams for our white picket fence. This is big news! It means we finally narrowed down the grid lines, the details, the flex areas,…

Memorial Day Weekend
The months have been going by faster and faster and somehow we’re just about ready to say goodbye to May and hello to June! Winston is becoming a dashing young dog. We’re grateful for his gentle spirit and amused by his curiosity. In the past month, Winston has had several growth spurts (both mental and physical)…

Family Matters
We got through week one with Winston! In that first week, there were more accidents than appreciated and also very little sleep – HOW do new moms do it?!?! (On a happy note, Winston did learn how to go down stairs!) Needless to say, I have been a walking ZOMBIE the past 8 days. Not…

Our Newest Family Member
Meet Winston! Winston is 9 weeks old and approximately 14 lbs. He was the most mischievous of the boxer-mix litter that we saw and he immediately won over my heart. (He won over Freddy’s heart too, but there was a more mild-mannered white pup with brindle patch that may or may not have made more sense…

Graduation Day at Our Alma Mater
Happy graduation day to the most recent graduates of our Alma Mater, Grand Valley State University! I hope your experience at GVSU has prepped you well for the world you’re entering, as it did for Freddy and me. You may not all leave with jobs and a spouse secured, but if you were open to it…

6 Months and Counting
This coming Sunday, Freddy and I will be marking our 6th month of marriage by teaching small group at our church, catching our Sunday service after, and meeting up with friends at a Whitecaps baseball game. Freddy thinks celebrating “month-marker anniversaries” is foolish, so I’ve arranged the game as the perfect “unassuming” way to make the day…

The Grill
Word of advice, newlyweds: 8:45pm is not the perfect time to “go look at grills.” Wives, beware! You will not go away from your trip empty-handed. You might even think that you’re prepared because you expect a grill purchase at the end of the day, but you’ve probably forgotten about the grill cover, the spatula, the…

Vegetable Cakes
When I open the fridge, I see one egg. No bacon. No orange juice. And the pantry only has enough pancake mix for one person. There are two of us. When Fred opens the fridge, he sees this: Huh…I guess I missed that when I looked this morning… Bottom Line: I love being married to…
