BIG NEWS!

So last week Tim and I got exciting news for our future! After this fall semester at MSU, Tim can and will be transferring to Western Michigan University to finish his degree in Political Science! Which means, WE WILL BE MOVING BACK TO THE KALAMAZOO AREA in December. We are still uncertain on the set dates yet, but just knowing it's happening so very soon is and has been enough to set my heart a flyin'!! To be back home with family and friends again is a true gift and blessing from God! Lansing hasn't been bad to us, it's just not home. And with our families growing quickly the closer we are the better it is for us. We love both our families so much, and it means the world to us to be moving back!! We'll be renting the family farm house from Tim's folks and am I ever excited about it!! :D It's the smallest, cutest, little house I've been in!! With so many family touches and add-ons, it holds SO much history! Tim grew up there and was the 5th generation to do so. It amazes me! How awesome! Anywho, I'll post some pics of the place when it's looking good... right now it's under the needle.... getting a much needed face lift! Kerry (my father in law), is working real hard at getting it into decent shape. but I have no worries... once I can get my hands on it, it'll look amazing!! hahaha I have so many ideas for it. The house holds so much potential! I look forward to this kind of work! and look forward to coming back home!!

and in the photography world I'm looking forward to some end of the summer shoots with a few pregnant friends and sisters. Babies are every where right now... be careful, I think it's in the water! haha. So I am very excited about being able to capture this special time in each one of their lives! And in case you were wondering, my sister-in-law Debbie is having a BOY along with Mic, another sister-in-law on the other side that is having a BOY as well! :D Being an aunt rocks my socks! and I can't wait to spoil the new boys!
