I guess the best place to start with this, in consideration of the fact that some I will send this to are unaware of the current status of our lives, is with a moment about us:
Ben and I met at the Wyoming church which we both attend. We are both very involved in music ministry there, which provided a great place for us to get to know each other. Ben proposed to me on October 17 of last year... by singing Selah's "Bless the Broken Road" and getting down on one knee. It was amazing. We were married on June 15, 2007. It was truly the best day of my life (and hopefully Ben would agree). A beautiful ceremony, surrounded by our family and friends, and as happy as I can ever remembering being. And being a part of the Herrick family is wonderful... I now have Tom and Kathy (AKA Dad and Mom), an older brother and sister-in-law (Rich and Kelley) with two daughters- making me an aunt!!! The girls are Emerson (3) and Camryn (5 months). Ben is also a twin, so I have another brother and sister-in-law: Joe and Stacey (who, in twin style, were married EXACTLY three weeks after us). We are so very blessed.
I now work for Hope Network West Michigan as an occupational therapist and the "Senior Manager of Community Options". I work every day to help individuals with developmental disabilities gain greater access to the community and world around them. Ben has the very noble profession of high school math teacher (geometry, precalculus, and AP calculus) in a rural district south of Grand Rapids- very similar to my hometown school. He is very passionate about his work and is an amazing teacher- shaping future leaders daily! No small task. =)
So, that's where we are now... and in the future I hope that these posts will contain updates... and I'd expect to see lots of pictures! =)
God bless you all,
Heather Jane Herrick
