so soon we will reunite:)
Hello friends,
First off, just to inform you, Voss is in mexico this week for spring break, so she prob won't be answering any of your questions any time soon. So that means that i'm sitting in my house all alone b/c everyone is on spring break. kinda stinks and now molly isn't even here anymore to give me company.
Anyways, congrats to d/j and samantha on the dedication. sounds like it was a big success!
To answer your question as to when to come in- i will be working through wed. so if you want to come in wed night, then we could hang out then. but if you want to come in sooner, you can hang with voss too. i just have to work until wed afternoon. thurs, i have to do the nails thing with my mom and sister in law (i'm sure you guys could come too if you wanted), then i think i might have to go to the reception place to help set some stuff up??? these are all things my mom have said we might have to do. if you guys are around, i'm sure we'd love some extra hands decorating tables and whatnot b/c i know we won't have any time for that on friday. then on friday i pretty much have you guys busy from 8 or 9 in the morning, depending on when your hair appt is. so.... in conclusion... you can come whenever- JRO just come whenever the plane ticket is the cheapest for you. but let me know if you'll be needing me to pick you up so i can work around work schedules and such.
okay, i think that's all for now. we're closing on our condo next thursday and then we're supposed to be able to get in the next week. Jveld, i was trying so hard to find a weekend in April to come see you and samantha, but i'm not sure it's going to work now that we're closing next week! time is just flying. I'll let you know though.
Okay amigas, hope all is well. Miss you and love you all. counting down the days.

Becster's Wedding Plans
Hello my beautiful friends!! I miss you all so much :)
Just a couple of questions...I know that Jenny and I are the only ones traveling but I would like to hear some input from our hometown Chi-towners as well.
-Jenny, when are you planning on getting into Chi-town and how long are you planning on staying?
-Bec, when do you prefer us to be there?
-Erin, are you driving to MI the day after the wedding? I heard a rumor you were :)
I am hoping to look for flights soon since July is rapidly approaching and plane tickets are outrageously expensive these days. Plus, it will make me feel one step closer to seeing you :)
Love you girls. Hope all is well!! Happy belated birthday Erin and Congrats Samantha on your dedication!!

Hey Girls!
Erin--did you have a good birthday???? I hope so! I'm sorry I didn't call--I hope you got my card though.
I had such a busy week last week. I had my nephew Tyler all week so that alone was busy. Plus the Veldkamp gang came Friday early afternoon and stayed until Sunday and then on Sunday we had Sam's dedication and we had 25 people over for lunch. It was quite chaotic! I'm turning into a clean freak so I spent all week cleaning up a storm. But it was a lot of fun. Samantha did perfect and won over everyone's heart. :) Dustin sang "Find your Wings" by Mark Harris so it was really sweet. It was a special day for us.
So yeah, I'm sooooo exhausted! I'm ready for some down time this week. We are chaperoning a Youth Group lock in on Friday night so that will be interesting. Especially on Saturday when we will want to sleep--well I'm sure our little girl won't want to sleep all day. :) Then on Sunday night we are on a panel to discuss sex etc with the youth group. I'm nervous for that!
We watched the movie Australia--DUMB! It was 2 hrs and 45 minutes. You know how much I love movies anyway and then a long one at that was horrible. :) We have friends who loved it but I couldn't stand it.
Did any of you see Seven Pounds? I absolutely loved that one! When that comes out on video you should watch it. We watched Changeling though and I liked that (well it was disturbing).
enough of my babbling. I really love hearing from you girls!

100 days and counting...
Today is officially 100 days until we get married. I'm kinda a super nerd and have a formula in one of my spreadsheets at work that I see everyday that is counting down the days until our wedding. We basically have everything in place or for the most part. I'm still waiting for my dress. When i get it, I'll have to see when you guys' dresses will be in. I'm so excited to see everyone again. I was trying to think about when the last time was that we were all together. I know i was with both Jennys in cali a few years ago and I was in chicago with voss and JRO last christmas, but the four of us? that may be sometime like summer after graduation before JRO moved out to Cali? But I could be way off. Anyways, we're supposed to be closing for our condo on the day before good friday or on good friday, depending on the title company. I'm excited, but busy with all this new stuff.
Okay, I think that's all for now. hope all is well with you guys! Can't wait to see you all.

SoCal Happenings
Hola amigas!!
So not a lot is happening over here. Still teaching full time, then going to graduate school at night. I just finished midterms and research papers so I'm less stressed this week!! I am having a hard time staying content in where God has me...I don't know where He is leading me and I feel lonely a lot. Its times like these when I want to curl up under the big green down comforter on the couch at Vassar palace. Those were such good times!! July cannot come soon enough when we are all reunited once again!! How long has it been since all of us have been together in the same place??
Anyway, I wish I had more exciting news, but I love reading all that is going on in your lives!!
Miss you girls!!

YAY :)
Well, let's see. It's been pretty low key over here. Samantha is getting dedicated (our church doesn't do baptism, which after studying, I'm very okay with.) on the 29th so we have like 25+ people coming to our house for lunch. So you can about imagine that I'm freaking out. :)
Umm...my work has been really stressful lately. My boss is going through a divorce so she is pretty shook up and hasn't showed up much. But I guess I've been getting more hours in so that's nice.
Dustin and I are co-leading a small group Bible Study. We absolutely love it! We've really gotten to know some awesome friends. We hang out with friends at least once a weekend and usually during the week too. There are 17 people in our group. We just had it our house last night. It's really nice to have Christian friends to grow with. I think that's why I have missed you girls so much lately!
Yeah, not much else I can think of. I'm really excited for your wedding Bec. It will be fun to see everyone again. Sam is excited to meet/see everyone :) Have I told you lately how much I love our little girl? She's amazing. I LOVE being a mom. Life has definitely changed, but I wouldn't go back.
Erin--congrats on the boy! Oh...I better change our language to man now. :) haha. That's really exciting for you. You should post some pictures on here! And isn't wierd how 30 really doesn't seem that old? At least I don't think so. He'll just be more anxious to have kids. I like that. :)hehe
speaking of pictures--feel free to add events, change events, post pictures, etc!
Excited to hear about you girls!

Great idea! I miss you guys a ton!
Yes, I'm dating someone. Sorry I didn't tell you earlier :(. He's a very nice boy. His name is Harold Hamstra, but people call him Hal for short.
He goes to my church and he comes from a very nice family. He's celebrating his 30th birthday March 26 (yes, a day before mine...cute...). So, he's an old fart!
Nothing too new besides that. What's going on in your life?

A new blog
So I think we should keep in better contact with eachother. I miss you girls! I didn't even know Erin was dating, I didn't know Becca was buying a condo! Since emails can sometimes be hard to reply to and then we aren't emailing everyone. Maybe we could try a blog and then we post hellos and anything new that happens with us. I think that would be fun.
What do you guys think?
