just in case...

just in case anyone still occasionally checks my blog after this significant absence of mine...I thought I'd give an update. ;) In short: my summer was one of the busiest, funnest, and whirlwind-like summers I think I will ever (hope to!) have. I went from DC to Alaska to South Manitou Island to Douglas Walker Park. I attended three weddings--becoming Mrs. Rachel VanDenBrink at the last one. that one will take some getting used to... ;)

I now am part owner of two houses (Jason calls the one in Holland our "lake" house) and a one large American Bulldog. This fall I am still working as the nurse (and manager of clinic) at Ottawa Hills High School, am taking a graduate course, and am still involved in church choir. My brother currently resides in the upstairs bedroom of our GR house and will be moving out within the month to live and teach english in Korea for a year.

I LOVE my life right now--it is busy, but fun. I wouldn't trade a moment of it!
