there's a little magic in the air tonight


I have a new nephew! Aaron Michael De Jong, born Dec. 18

Lots of new stuff in the past couple of months!
  • Philip and I got engaged on Thanksgiving and plan to get married next June
  • my sister Al got her master's degree
  • we have a new nephew, Aaron
  • I turned 25
  • Philip and I went to California for Thanksgiving and Iowa for Christmas
  • Lynden got about 2 feet of snow and we didn't have school for 2 1/2 days before Christmas break
  • I slept in the Seattle airport on my way to Iowa
  • I met up with Josh, Rachel, Becca, Walhof, Dave, Shannon, Jonas, and more over break! Good to see everyone!
  • Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas (ok, a few days late) and a blessed New Year!
