Journey to the Reception and Reception Perception
At long last, here are some photos from Ryan & Marie’s reception!! Alas, it was sooooo hot in the limo (the AC was BROKEN. Not just weak. Oh, no. It did not work AT ALL… and the windows didn’t open! Ha!), that nobody thought to take any pictures enroute to the yacht club. We were [...]
Fourth of July Weekend- Part 1
Fourth of July Weekend has it all! Fascinating historical significance. The excuse to eat insane amounts of barbecue and ice cream. The chance to get as excited as a five year old when the fireworks start going off. Fourth of July Weekend 2010 did not disappoint. It was quite action-packed and fun-filled! To start things [...]
In the Presence of God and these Witnesses
The preparations were made, and the waiting was over. The time had arrived for Ryan and Marie to become husband and wife!! It was a beautiful ceremony, but you don’t have to take my word for it! Here are the photos Kevin took during the ceremony:
Gettin’ Ready, Goin’ to the Chapel & The Waiting Game
Gettin’ Ready Ryan and Marie’s day began with overcast skies. As Ryan rechecked the weather forecast, Dad mixed up a double-batch of his special (read: DEEE-licious) homemade waffles. They were divinely yummy. After the breakfast huddle, the family dispersed to all of our scheduled activities. Ryan and Kevin departed to play disc golf with the [...]
The Day Before the Big Day
Friday evening was the rehearsal at Christ the King Lutheran Church, followed by the rehearsal dinner at Buddy’s!! We realized on the way to the church that we’d left our camera at my parents’ house. Since we were riding with them—and the ever important decorations for the church that we needed to assemble before the [...]
Ryan & Marie’s Wedding Weekend Recap
This post brought to you by the letter B and the number 3 a power outage that occurred this afternoon and closed the office. The power outage occurred after lunch… and after 20 minutes sitting in the dark, the decision was made by the powers that be to close the office. It couldn’t have happened [...]
Hello, Memorial Day Weekend!
Memorial Day Weekend, I’m so glad you’re here! The calendar says we have a few weeks to go until summer, but I don’t believe it. To me, this is the official start of summer! I need no further proof than the absolutely gorgeous weather we’ve been having! Steamy 90s earlier this week, freaky summer storm [...]
Girls’ Night Out
On Saturday night, we hit the streets of downtown Holland for Marie’s bachelorette party. Before embarking on our adventure, Marie got her list of “assignments” for the scavenger hunt. We drew numbers, and the numbers assigned us special missions that we had to help Marie achieve. Once our particular mission was accomplished, we got to [...]
The Martians Have Landed!
The Martian Marathon in Dearborn: I have to say, this was definitely one of the more interesting of the marathons that Kevin has run… If only due to the theme. Intrigued? Then stay tuned. Thanks to taking shorter lunch breaks during the week and skipping my lunch break on Friday, we were able to hit [...]
Our Very Own Rent-a-Pet
From Thursday, March 25 through Sunday, March 28, we were graced with the presence of a very furry houseguest, Bagel. Here’s that furry houseguest now! Things we learned about Bagel during her visit: High-maintenance females run in the family! Bagel does not travel light— bringing food, treats, dishes, leashes, a whole bag of toys, [...]
