Green Before Spring

February 21, 2014

I had to laugh to myself. It’s almost the end of the month which means we get paid soon, but not soon enough. The money is gone and we still have some other expenses in the next week before we get paid again. We were praying just last night that God would provide somehow to […]

Wedding Bells & Diapers

January 21, 2014

There has been some pretty exciting news coming from the Nichols family in the last month! It started Christmas Day when Pete’s sister Paula got engaged to Duane. We enjoyed getting to know him over these past months and we’re very excited for them! The plans are still being made but it looks like it […]

A Look Back

January 20, 2014

We’re already well into the new year but just wanted to take a few moments to reflect on last year before this one goes flying by. It was a hard one for sure, but as I look back I remember all the bright spots mixed in with all the pain and loss. For the most […]

Michigan Review

January 5, 2014

Our two and a half months living in Michigan were amazing and recently came to a close last weekend. As our time in Michigan was coming to an end we were busy spending time with family and friends and enjoying our last days and weeks there. We set aside our last few days to just […]

An Icy Christmas

December 27, 2013

As you can imagine, we were beyond excited last night when our power came back on! Many of you will have heard about the crazy ice storm that hit us last weekend. Some of you I’m sure experienced it too. There were trees down everywhere and ice covered literally everything! Our power went out Sunday […]

The Best of the Best

December 4, 2013

Some of my most beautiful and vivid childhood memories are from my Grandma’s house: making mini snowmen on the deck railing, baking together, playing in the leaves, having a “spot of tea”, making mini pizzas in the toaster oven, helping in the garden, playing on the swing set, catching the bus and heading downtown to […]

Michigan

November 1, 2013

We made it to Michigan just less than two weeks ago now! We are settled in to the house we are renting and are enjoying our time around family and friends. Neither one of us have lived by any family at all since being married so this is especially nice to have them so close […]

Thanksgiving

October 21, 2013

One pretty great thing about Canada and the USA having their Thanksgivings at different times in the fall is that we never have to pick which family to spend it with! The weekend before we left Ontario was our Canadian Thanksgiving and we had such a great weekend in London with family! A cousin from […]

Girls Night Out

October 17, 2013

Last Friday we celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday. My mom, cousin Lindsay, and sister-in-law Laura, and I all went away for a girls night out. The place we went to offered a package called a “Pajama Party for Four”. It was a very relaxing and quiet evening away at a beautiful place! We all enjoyed […]

October Update

October 2, 2013

In some ways these last few months have blurred by us and we can hardly believe yesterday began the month of October! The past three months have been full of challenges and honestly just some tough situations. Currently Pete is in New Brunswick and I am in Ontario. This time it worked best for Pete […]
