An Update... (Erin) (Archive)
Oh my goodness! It was been over a month since we have written anything and I am quite sorry for anyone who has been waiting for an update...
Gerrit and I have both been incredibly busy with the start of a new semester. My schedule is a bit less intense than his. He is taking 21 hours which is insane and hopefully he will survive. So far he's doing a really good job though. I, on the other hand, am taking less hours than I have ever taken before, but, being the student that I am, I have been able to find plenty of ways to stay busy.
Football season is also underway (yay!). This past weekend Gerrit came to Auburn to visit for the Auburn vs. Mississippi State game. Unfortunately (for him) Auburn won by a lot. Really I didn't want us to win that much. I really was rooting for Mississippi State at the end because I didn't want him to be so disappointed in his team. I'm sure my family is appalled by this fact. ;)
After the game Saturday things got worse though. I had a fever. I'm so glad Gerrit was in town to take care of me and I felt much better on Monday. I relapsed yesterday though and went to the doctor today (which is not very helpful and only necessary because I am missing class and need an excuse). So I'm at home resting today and trying to get better because I hate missing class. Hopefully Gerrit won't get sick later this week though!
In other news: we got our engagement pictures back! Hopefully soon we will have some blog images for everyone to see!

Engagement Pictures (Erin) (Archive)
This past week in Huntsville has been extremely busy. We decided on a caterer and a florist, but the most exciting thing was taking our engagement photos!
Tuesday we went out to Camp Maranatha (for those of you who don't know, this is where we met while we were working together) to walk around and reminisce and think about the special places we wanted to get photos at.
Tuesday night and Wednesday, though, we were nervously watching the weather. It stormed on Tuesday night and they predicted rain on Wednesday, but thankfully it cleared up and we had perfect weather for our engagement session!
We had no idea that taking photos could be so much fun! We had such a great time and enjoyed walking around finding great spots for pictures! We had to do a little trekking through the woods, too. ;)
We know that we got some amazing images (Simply Bloom photography is incredible!), and although they all won't be ready until September or October (they are taking a bit of a vacation after a busy summer) they did post a sneak peek of upcoming sessions with one image from ours included!

Busy, Busy, Busy... (Gerrit) (Archive)
Hello everyone!
It's been awhile since we've posted, but there is certainly good reason for it! Erin and I have been finishing up summer school recently, but as you are certainly already aware, sometimes "vacation" can be busier than normal life. We each were overwhelmed with work during the July term (I was taking two classes and working 20hrs per week, Erin was taking two classes, working, and doing undergrad research).
Now that we're home, we've barely had a moment to stop and breathe. Between our younger brothers getting ready to move into their respective colleges and trying to find the perfect dress for Erin for our engagement photos (which are supposed to happen on Wednesday, weather permitting), we've been moving non-stop. Today we have an appointment with a caterer, so you can go ahead and throw wedding planning into that mix as well.
Of course, despite the "go-go-go-ness", we are certainly enjoying having these two weeks off in between semesters to spend together.
Hope life is treating our faithful readers well...

Fourth of July Weekend (Gerrit) (Archive)
Erin and I went home to Huntsville this past weekend for our fourth of July "break". I got to go home wednesday evening thanks to my professors moving my exams up, and Erin came home thursday night.
I was really looking forward to the break because I had some family coming in from texas (my mom's brother and his daughters, along with my maternal Grandparents) and I was looking forward to getting to spend some time with extended family and Erin together. She was a real sport about the whole thing and I must thank her father for allowing me to steal her from him for virtually the whole weekend.
We had a lot of fun swimming with my two cousins (Alexia, 12 and Mia, 5). Mia absolutely adored Erin, and it was fun to play little kid games in the pool (though my brothers were never really into playing "mermaids" when we were younger). It was really one of very few opportunities that Erin and I will have to swim this summer, so we enjoyed it to the fullest!
On the fourth Erin and I went over to our friend Lauren's house so that Erin could try on her bridesmaid's dress for their wedding, and we came back later that evening with all of my family to join the whole street, which we used to joke was called "Willowbrook Way" for the number of families from our church that lived there, for fireworks and home-made icecream.
All in all it was a nice weekend, and now we're back at our respective universities starting classes all over again.
