Supposed to be working...

What do you do when you're supposed to be working on your classroom and you've already missed a day because you laid on the couch due to a cold that KICKED your butt yesterday?
Well, you play with your MacBook's Photo Booth of course! Here's some pictures to make you laugh:

Boating in Grand Haven


We tried something new this past weekend. We took Grandpa's boat to Grand Haven and stayed in a slip for the weekend. It was a little rough getting there (like 4 foot rollers) but we stayed at the marina which is sheltered around Dewey Hill in the channel. It was fun! No, Derek is not posing for the picture, he really was just laying in the sun reading!Our Calvin friends, Chris and Holly, came along with us (and their little Yorkie). Derek also works with Chris and those two talked "boats" all weekend!Mmm... scrambled eggs and blueberry pancakes. The blueberries are from our backyard (they're a little small and tart, but maple syrup makes up for that!)
Another beautiful sunset over Lake Michigan.

Some of you are gone on your own adventures now; I can't WAIT to hear about (and see) Haiti, New Zealand, and Africa (sorry, I can't remember what country in Africa)!! Also, I'm so glad I got to talk to you Debbie! Thanks for the chat and the invite!

Warning: very "girly" post


I'm spreading the girly love here. A few months ago I bought a Diva Cup. I thought it would be cheaper than buying pads and tampons all the time, plus better for me... and easier too. I LOVE it!! I have even convinced others to get it too. Now I'm convincing YOU. You need to get one! It is so easy to use and cleaner feeling than all the other menstrual products. Plus, I usually forget it's even there. I don't worry about when I'll start or about changing it every few hours. I usually just think about it when I wake up and when I go to bed.

Stayin' in Touch

Well, here it goes, girls... I'm new to this whole blogging thing, but I'm going to try it. Since we're no longer living within 500 sq. ft. of each other (yay, Eldersveld!) but rather all spread out across the GLOBE, I'm hoping this will help us keep in touch. You know, all those silly, crazy things that made us "suite sisters" in the first place...

So, do you think we've changed since then?
