Getting to Know...My Wife Laurie

Periodically I like to interview people in my life so you can get to know them better.  Today you're going to meet my wife, Laurie.

1. Where did you grow up?  In Hawthorne and Prospect Park, New Jersey (Bergen County, 1/2 hour from New York City).
2. Tell us about your family.  I have two married brothers, one in New Jersey, one in Canada; my parents are in Dyer.
3. When did you profess your faith in Christ?  In my early teens in a Christian Reformed church.
4. Where did you meet Bob?  At Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa.
5. What is your degree in?  Elementary Education.
6. Kid update?  Courtney and Joel will be married one year this month, plus a puppy; Caitlin will be a junior at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota; Grant will be starting at Calvin College this fall (John Calvin would be proud); and Carley will be a sophomore at Illiana Christian High School.
7. What do you do Monday through Friday?  Mom, home, hobbies, friends, and I work part-time in the Worship & Arts Department at Faith Church.
8. Where do you serve God?  Behind the scenes and at the Vine bookstore.
9. What is something we probably don't know about you?  I really enjoyed mechanical drawing in high school and still enjoy designing things.
10. When you and Bob have time to relax, what can you be found doing?  Drinking coffee, reading, traveling, and playing pinochle with friends.
11. Bob's nickname for you?  "Laurz."
12. What's something that people would be surprised to know about you and Bob?  We have a dream of RV-ing across the country.

this was great Bob, we love Laurie and it is always nice to get to know her better. One of my favorite sayings is "behind every great man- is a great woman." This certainly applies here!!! Annette
