About Us

Holland, MI, United States
Chris and I met through mutual friends Melissa and Andy Kuiper six years ago. I can honestly say that it was not love at first sight, but as time went on and I got to know Chris I realized that this was someone I wanted to get to know better. As we dated and got to know each other better it became apparent to me that Chris was someone who I loved and wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Chris and I were married June 11, 2005 and have been married for four years. In that time we have become the parents of two beautiful little boys. Simon Thomas, born August 3, 2007, is a very happy and energetic two year old. Baby Luke is a wonderful little baby born June 3, 2009. In the winter of 2008 Chris was offered a fantastic job with Sentry Insurance. He quickly excepted the job which has turned out to be his "dream" job. As a result of Chris starting this job we decided that after teaching first grade for 7 years that I would quit my job and stay at home with Simon and future children. Being at home is truly where my heart is and I am so thankful to be able to stay at home with Simon and Luke. Our family is truly blessed and we are very thankful for all we are given by God!

WOW! One year old!


It is hard to believe that Simon turned 1 on Sunday, August 3. I think back to where we were one year ago. I remember the fear, the discomfort, and the faith that we had knowing God was in control of the entire situation. God is so faithful! We have an amazing little boy who wows us everyday with his smiles, his laughs, his temper tantrums, and his stubborn streak a mile wide (he must get that from his dad).
Thank you to those of you who have loved us and prayed for us over the last year. We thank God for each and every one you.
