Been a while

It's been a while since I have been able to sit down and write want has been going on. So I have some catching up to do.

May- was a busy month.  We had a lot of birthday's including my own. I turned 24 and for me its totally weird to see that I am getting older.

June- I think it was in June. We split from the Breda Ward and formed a new branch, Tilburg Branch. We are really excited to be able to build up the kingdom in the Netherlands. Martijn was called as the Elder Quorum President, with two elders including himself. Technically 2 more on missions. I was called to be the 1st counselor in the Primary. We have 6 kids ages from 18 month to 11 years old. It is so exciting and a new adventure in our lives.

July-We spent the 4th of July in London. It was amazing being able to spend time with just Martijn. The weather was so beautiful!!! You think that when in England that it would be rainy and cold but it wasn't. I have always dreamed of going to London. But we did it the cheap way. We know that it was going to be expensive but we didn't realize that was so expensive.
Westminster Abbey- 12 pounds
St. Paul's Cathedral- 16 pounds
Global Theater- 10 pounds and closed at 5:00
Tower Bridge- 15 pounds
Tower of London- 22 pounds
And that was per person. It was crazy, the museums were free. It was amazing so easy and carefree.

August-I really can't remember we were so busy with Colorglo. Every day seemed longer and longer. In the middle of that my sister-in-law Chelsea was rushed to the hospital with internal bleeding. We spent the weekend with family waiting for the good news. They were able to find out the problem and she started to get better.  I also found out that my grandma past away. I am truly grateful that it happened, she had been on this earth way to long without my grandpa.

September- spent the 11 days in England meeting Kirsty's family. We had so much fun and enjoyed see family. We went to the Lake district, Newcastle, and Leicester. We saw George Washington's family home, Beatrice Potter's home, Sir Issac Newton's home and saw Richard III's bones.

October- We found out that we are having a baby. We are so excited, I am doing fine.  I am nausea at night and I only threw up once. Martijn was there to help me out. We really didn't want to wait to tell everyone because we think that it is totally excited. This will be the first grandchild for both sides. We also got a house! We are so excited and once we sign the contact it is officially ours. So hopefully we will know by the end of the week.

Pictures to come, I have some to lost the cord to my camera so I have to find it.
