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!

Spring Break

Spring Break was at the beginning of April and unlike many years the weather for the beginning of the week was fantastic! Now that I am not teaching anymore school vacations are when I get a chance to catch up with my teacher friends. One of the really fun things we did was plan a trip to John Ball Park Zoo with a couple of my friends and their kids. We went with my friend Tammi, who is a second grade teacher, and her two girls (Summer and Aubrey). Simon has a major crush on the girls (he says they have beautiful hair). Too cute! The other friend we went with was Tonya and her kids Kassidy and Porter. Porter and Simon are good buds!
We had such a great time. The weather was sunny and warm. The animals were very active and all out. Simon had a blast seeing all the different animals! After a few hours in the zoo we wrapped up our visit with a picnic. It was such an awesome day! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends- both big and little!

Aubrey and Simon. We think this could be a little love match. We are considering an arranged marriage :)


Simon and a bear. Notice the bear checking Simon out.
