Grand Rapids, Michigan

Hosanna Choir in Conert in
Grand Rapids, MI - April 25th, 2014
5 of us drove down together and found a beautiful camp-site for the weekend
Yes, it was a little early!
Yes, it was a little cold!
But it was a lot cheaper than staying in a hotel!

We were right on the river, this was our view
Monkeying around 
Warming up
Our Campsites

We got there a few hours early, so we made use of our time


There was a small trail on the back of the campsite... a great place to reflect, a great place to slow down and process life... God is still on the throne

Every time we hopped in the car, the guys were asleep instantly!

The Grand Rapids Library - so wish we could have gone in. By the time we came out of pre-rehearsal
it was closed
Park Congregational Church - Such a beautiful place
On the way home we stopped in Lansing, MI
walked around the city all afternoon - saw the state building and all the beautiful churches in the city.
The architecture was amazing


On top of the city
All layered up - the parking garage
The Capitol Building - lets jump it!
The Beautiful Gateway


The Old Train Station




So this was us - Grand Rapids, Lansing, and a few adventures in between

(Parts of) Family Day

Family Day was different this year then others - it had become an annual tradition to go hiking, however due to some conflicting plans it didn't work out this year! Some went here, others there, yet we were all together for dinner!  I took Faith and the two youngest boys swimming - there was hardly anyone there, the boys so enjoyed it!  Game time  Music Time  Grandma wanted help cutting out her runner...  At 10pm I got inspired to do a cake - I had a gracious helper:) My Dad's project for the day! It's so nice - getting all these projects done around here!

2017 Re-Cap

2017 was an incredible year filled with MANY changes and experiences I never imagined would befall this little country 'gal. January - Started off with by returning to school (full-time) . In pursuit of me following my life long dream of becoming a Paramedic I needed to take Biology, Chemistry, and Math credits as it had been 6+ years since I last took any of the sciences. The Pre-Health  program at Conestoga seemed to be the best option, as I wanted to get my accreditation for  Paramedicine   at Conestoga College. Returning to school was quite the adjustment as I had not been in full time school for 6+ years, but it quickly grew on me as I got to know my colleagues and schedule. It took me awhile to re-teach myself how to study... it's different as an adult! February - Within the first week I found out that as a mature student, using my grades from the "Pre-Health" program (instead of my highschool transcript) they would NOT even look at my application for Param...
