I've Got Souvenirs

I went to Canada!

A friend and I made a spontaneous trip across the border for the weekend to learn about wine and see the Red Bull Airshow.

That's a plane between those cones over the Detroit River.

On the Windsor wine tour we got to learn all about ice wines.

On our way back to the great state of Michigan.

Come, come summertime

Holland summers are amazing! They kick it off with Tulip Time which included my parents and lots of corn dogs this year and then they move on to cook outs with friends and beautiful days at the beach!

I'm working full time this summer as Hope's Housing Assistant. That means I get to read lots of housing cards from incoming freshmen!

My Soul Now to Stand

Spring 2009

15th & Washington

This school year I have been attending Fourth New Community Reformed Church. It has been a great opportunity to serve in the community and I participate with the worship band. The group is made up of mostly Hope students. (pictured here, L to R: Charlie, Stan, James and Caleb)
The people of 4th have really opened their hearts and homes to us! This spring was the last time this group will get to do music together. In the fall James will be studying in South Africa as he prepares to work with international aid groups, Caleb will be interning with a missionary in Uganda, and next spring Stan will be in Hope's Washington, DC honor semester and then he will graduate early!

Sisters and Roommates: Dani, me, Emma, and Lauren

My roommate, Dani, will be in Spain next semester! This was from one of our last nights in a our beloved dorm room in Gilmore Hall! I'll miss it!!
