Graduation

Here are some pictures from graduation. The first is a picture of me outside the house I live in. The second picture is the cake eric's parents got me. then some pictures from campus and me in my cap and gown.

The weekend was fun, but it went by too fast! It rained most of weekend and it still is. Tomorrow I have a job interview. Wish me luck!

Heidi Renae Gross

Kelly wanted me to post a picture before all 3 of us went to sleep, so here ya go! I am still in shock as to how incredibly how fast it went. I came home from work at 6:30 and she was starting to have weak contractions. By 9:30 they were 5 minutes apart and hurting, so I decided it was time to go to the hospital. She was at 4 cm once they checked her so we were certainly staying for the night. After some intense contractions, Kelly opted for the epidural and by the time the anethesiologist was finished she was going into active labor at 12:50. So that left only one hour from when she started pushing to when Heidi was born at 1:54am. She is 6lbs 12oz and 18.5 inches with some hair, blue eyes and a Gross/Seeberg schnaz. Time for some z's.

Fun times

hey everyone.

So last Tuesday Eric and I got to get all dressed up to attend a scholarship dinner that he was invited to. It was at the oldest hotel in Grand Rapids, which was really neat. I had fun, and I got to meet with some people who might be able to hook me up with an internship! :D Yay! Diner was SO good! We had hors d'oeurves, spinach cranberry salad, stuffed chicken, and vanilla creme brulee for desert. I really wanted to lick the dessert bowl, but I didn't think that would be proper haha. After diner we went down to one of lounges in the hotel and had an overpriced drink. Eric decided that since diner was free and we were already dressed up, he would buy us a drink. How nice :)

This last weekend I decided to help my friend Erin out with her film/video senior thesis project. She asked if me and Eric wanted to star as extras, so I thought that would be fun. Plus she's a good friend, so why not. The film took place in the 1940s at a school science fair. It was fun, and we shot in a really old school in Grand Rapids that was built in the 1920. Really net. It was really time consuming, but a lot of fun. We were on the set for like 12 hours on saturday and 8 non sunday. We were so exhausted by sunday! I fell asleep so fast and didn't wake up once haha. I can't wait to see the final cut of the movie, which is only 4-5 minutes long. She also shot on 16mm film, which was really cool.

Other than those two big events, not too much else to report. Eric and I have been working hard to fix up our lawn before mom and dad come to visit. It's nice to be outside after that terrible winter. Thankful for nice weather!

I'm also nearing the end of my undergraduate degree. Excited and nervous all together. Can't wait, yet I can. I've just got settled in Grand Rapids, and really like it, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do in the near future. Plus, Eric still has to complete another semester. We'll see, I guess :)

It's going to be a busy week though finishing up my school work...

Well here some recent pictures. enjoy.

At our house :)

Creme Burlee!

I did my own hair! Eric was suprised at how much I actually like to get all dressed up and stuff :p I told him that I occasionally do like being girly :P


Eric wanted me to put this one up. We're weird...

Update-Mark your calenders

Baptism is at 11am on Sunday May 24th at St. Mary's Church. :-)

Baptism

Here is the Baptism date Brian and I have. We will have it on Sunday May 24th during mass at St. Mary's Church.
I have a few ideas for a potluck for everyone to gather too after church. Here's some ideas I would really like to do.

1.) First choice with depending on weather- I would like to go to seratoma park and have one of the shelters close to the amusment park and zoo. Any kids who come, can run around at the zoo, play mini golf, go on the slide, and etc.

2.) Second choice is too let kids swim for the day while us parents visit by a poolside room at the comfort? Or is this too much wild fun? But this might work out for brian, me and baby to stay at the hotel overnight if we rent a room to swim because we would probably leave the next day.

3.) Bon-fire party at mom and dad's!! Thank mom and dad. Ha Ha! Just kidding. It could be a lot of people. Who knows. But I do want a bon fire when I'm home! :-)

I'm getting stumped on any other ideas because the baby has completly taken over my mind. So any ideas are welcome and just email me or call. Probably email would be best, then it's documented and saved of what everyone's ideas are, otherwise I know I will forget. (It's getting rough lately.) Ha Ha.

Love you all and I can't wait to come home! We will be home either on May 14th or 15th. Depends if we decide to fly home or drive home.
