Praising God in a Time of Sorrow.


Early Saturday morning Grandpa De Jonge went to be with Jesus in Heaven. Although we saddened by the loss, we know that Grandpa is singing with the Angels in heaven and that his body is healed with no more pain or suffering. Grandpa was a great man and his love for Jesus was evident through the way he lived his life. I have been blessed just to have known him for a few years. As we mourn his loss we also rejoice in knowing that he has met his Savior. We are thankful for all the memories, he was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.

One year already!?

Can you believe that we've been married a year already? This past year flew by! This past weekend we went up to Traverse City to Celebrate our one year anniversary! (September 7) We stayed at Cherry Tree Inn right on the bay. We went to a few different wineries and did some wine tasting along both Old Mission point and Lelanau Peninsula. We came home with a just a few bottles of wine! =) We also went up to Sleeping Bear Dunes for a day and spent the day hiking up the dunes and driving through a scenic drive. Trust me, the dunes were much steeper and bigger than they appear in the picture, but we still had fun climbing them! We also ate at some great restaurants up in Traverse City! We had a lot of fun relaxing and spending time together! We did make it to Turtle Creek Casino one night too, we didn't win any money just playing with $10-15, but it was still fun to see and experience a casino because I had never been to one! I couldn't believe all the old people, about half with oxygen tanks and the other half chain smoking their cigarettes!
