· March: The basketball team I was the assistant coach of (Cornerstone University) made it to Nationals! We spent a week in Iowa, it was a great experience. (I have decided not to do it this year because of the time commitment and my new Real Estate Career)
· May: Jared and I took a trip with my sister to Denmark & Sweden, it was a great trip – a little too much city for me, but it was a great adventure!
· Summer: Our kickball team finished the whole season (both seasons Spring and Summer) undefeated! Keeping our place at the top!
· June: I started my career as a Real Estate Agent, and I am loving it! I had my first sale in July and am on track for having a great first year…at least that is what my broker says.
· Jared’s brother, Luke, got married in South Bend, we were happy to welcome another girl into the family!
· July: Jared competed in his first Triathlon and did amazing! Now he is stepping up his training and hoping to do a lot more next year, with a Ironman in 2013! He is training really hard and loving every minute of it.
· August: Our friend from Washington Adriane and her daughter Malibu came to visit! It was so great to see them. We went up north and visited Mackinaw Island and Sleeping Bear Dunes, then headed back to Hudsonville to hang out for a little while. It was so great to hang out with them and visit. I wish we could do it more often!
· September: My birthday which was amazing, Jared took me to the Notre Dame game which was fun even though we lost. Then On my birthday we took a pregnancy test (this was the day before we were headed to the fertility clinic to see what we could do) and it was POSITIVE! We were so excited and in disbelief for a while. It was probably the best birthday ever!
· Jared started being a Young Life leader this year, Young Life Club meets at our house every Monday night (it’s a high school Christian outreach group – I guess that’s the best way to describe it).
· October: We had our second annual Minute to Win It party, my dad made it to the finals but was defeated by my friend Linda Knapper. It was a great day! We were able to go to a couple MSU Football games this year so that of course was the best ever! Someday we will have season tickets!
· This fall/winter has just been super busy with work, projects around the house, and visiting people.
Duke is doing great as well, he really loves hanging out in the soon to be baby’s room so I’m not sure what that is about. He is loving this winter so far since it hasn’t been that cold and there is no snow…he is the only one in the family enjoying that I think. He continues to be as spoiled as ever, but he deserves it.
We are looking forward to January 11 when we get to learn who this little babe is, boy or girl. Other then that we are loving life! We feel so blessed to have wonderful friends, a great small group at church, good jobs, and of course our family!
Hope you all are having a blessed and happy holiday season!
