Girls Weekend

It sure was fun to be in Utah and see most of the fam! Paul and Kristyn- you were the only ones missing! As fun as it was, its sure nice to be back in my warm AZ with my honey!

Family Dinner and Hotel Deal

Dear Family,
We are having the family dinner at 6pm the night before the wedding (the 6th) at the Lion House. Nieces and Nephews are invited as well.
The Plaza Hotel right across the street from Temple Square is giving us a deal because of it, where we can get rooms for $65 a night. SO maybe instead of Staying at the Western Inn in SF that night, you can all stay closer to the actual wedding location.
(MOM and DAD, I will leave that up to you to book for everyone. Call Thad's Mom to get the info on how to do it)

Will Everyone Be Here the Eveing of May 6th?

We're thinking of having the family dinner the night before instead of the day of, so will everyone be here the evening before?

Happy Valentines Day!

Wendy sent me a message on facebook, which reminded me of the way you celebrate valentines day. In Holand it isn't a big thing. Kids may send each other cards, and the restaurant are packed, but other than that...

In senior year, I loved how we were called out of class to pick up balloons that Lee had sent us!

I loved that friends would give little valentines to each other!

Years later I appreciate the things that Lodewijk does for me every day (and that I try to do for him too), so I don't really need a special day anymore.

But back then it made me feel special and that's important in a teenagers life.

So to celebrate Valentines whith you, I'm posting a picture of Via del Amore! made in Tuscany this year!

Happy valentines day!

Love! Always!
