January 2015

January has been pretty calm around the Van Kirk house. We’ve just been getting back into the school and work routine: making sure we have the back packs, jackets, and lunches together takes up most every morning and the evenings are filled with church classes and dinner with friends and family on the weekends.

There were a few extra special events too: Andrew and I got to Fort Worth to see Pat Green with our friends Mo and Michelle- which was an absolute blast! The concert wasn’t all that amazing, but the food (at the Woodshed) and laughter with friends over giant Jinga was fantastic. Earlier in the month I also got to have 2 of my best friends of college come to town for a few nights! We ate at some delicious restaurants, walked around the DMA, and stayed up late talking every night.

Also, it was announced this week that our Rector, Father Mike Michie, has been nominated as one of the final four candidates to become the potential next bishop in Dallas. We are lifting him and his family up in prayer daily and also looking forward to seeing how it unfolds as it could mean, if he’s elected, some potential changes for Andrew’s position.

Here’s a few pictures!

Girl’s weekend celebrating our 30th year….

Going to see a movie with our friend Sara and her daughters Leighton, Emma and baby Charlotte. Sara’s Mom Darlene and my Mom have been best friends since high school and so it is very special that our kids get to be 3rd generation friends!

Our little baby boy is anxious to meet his cousins Sophie and Heidi (who, even though they are almost a year apart, will be in the same grade as him!).

Cute Valentine’s Day pictures to come later this month!
