It has been so long since my last post and so much has gone on since then. My classes are coming to an end for this 2nd term and I will have 2 weeks to enjoy reading, relaxing, and doing little odds-and-ends that I don't usually have the chance to enjoy during our regular routine. I can't wait.

For Easter we went to Ann Arbor to spend time with Justin's family on Saturday and that was really nice. We ate LOTS of food, laughed hard, played cards, watched some Masters, took naps, and drank some wine. It was wonderful. Sunday we went to my grandma's house for dinner with my family. It was also wonderful conversation, catching up, and good food.

This past weekend Justin and I celebrated our Engagement Anniversary (which is April 15th). Last year at this time layed out on the beach under the beautiful sun in Grand Haven and were more than excited about the thought of getting married and celebrating with our favorite people. The following months were consumed with wedding planning, meetings, and celebrations with our friends and family until we couldn't celebrate anymore. It was wonderful!
Today, a year later, as we look back we see that so much has happened. We are still very much in love but can't believe how God has moved through us in the past year. We have gone through many new transitions with friends, our jobs, schooling, and ourselves. Our lives seem so different, so much better. We are thankful to all of you who have loved us so much through the past year.
