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!

What a difference a year makes!


Well it is official I am a blog slacker. That's not exactly true, I am learning as I go so bear with me.
Last year at this time I had a little one year boy who wasn't even walking yet and saying a few words. Now look at where we are. We have a VERY busy two year old who runs rather than walks and talks a mile a minute. It is amazing how you can actually carry on a conversation with Simon.
The biggest change of all is we now have an awesome 11 week old baby boy. Luke is such a joy and blessing to our family. He is quick with the smiles and he coos and talks a lot (I think he gets that from his dad - the talking not the cooing).
It is truly amazing to think back to our life a year ago and realize that I would not change a thing!
