Friday night we met my family at the Whitecaps game and saw a pretty pathetic loss of 14 to 3. We had fun though and got to enjoy the food and spending time with my family doing something that we all enjoy.
Saturday morning, Kyle's sisters and I threw a family bridal shower for Katie. This was her first bridal shower so far and it was a success! We had both sides of Kyle's and Katie's family there, so it was fun to see the families interact. Following are a few pictures.
This is the table with Katie's side of the family (and one extra!). Sarah is one of Katie's friends and the fourth bridesmaid. Then there's Katie, Oma, Mom, Aunt Sechan, Grandma Jo, and Aunt Jeri. It was nice to have people from out of town come for the shower.
This is a recipe box that Brian and I made for Katie. It says "Bultman Recipes" on the top. Brian made the box and I wrote the recipes that are inside of it. Feel free to send Katie more recipes on 3x5 cards if you'd like!
Here is a great picture that I will keep for a long time. It's me, Grandma Jo, Katie, Oma, and Mom. This doesn't happen very often!
This is Katie and I with Kyle's two sisters, Shawn and Karissa. It was great planning the shower with them!Saturday afternoon we got to see Katie's new house and all the work that they're doing to it. It was nice to be able to see the house so that I know what she's talking about when she tells me about it!
Saturday night we had dinner and played games with good friends of our, Deb, Bryan, and Steph. It was wonderful to see them again (it's been far too long!) and hear about Bryan and Steph's upcoming move to Iowa in July. We'll miss them, but hope them the best!
Sunday we spent with Brian's family. We saw both sets of grandparents and had lunch with his parents. I always love eating there because we get real grilled food! Living in our apartment without a grill makes me enjoy grilled food even more! We also brought our plants to their house and planted them in their garden. Since we haven't found a house, the plants were getting too big and we were going to have zucchini and tomatoes fairly soon. We added the plants to their garden, but still hope to get some of the fruits and vegetables when they are ripe!
This weekend we're looking forward to a picnic with our small group from church and then we'll be back in Grand Rapids the next two weekends. Keep watching for more updates!
