The Sweet J Band

So as Ali was searching for music she found a really great band called "The Sweet J Band " they sound awesome! They are one of west michigans premier bands winning the WYCE Jammie Award in 2006. Their bluesy soul rockish sound is sure to get the crowd singing along. So make sure that when you come to Kevin and Alis engagement party you wear comfy shoes to kick it or sing it with the band.

Engagement Party at Frederik Meijer Gardens

As we continue to plan for the engagement party the anticipation is high. What a wonderful venue for a late spring event. Without knowing that the gardens have an old barn and a really cute home on the grounds, Alyssa somehow managed to find them. These structures are replicas of Lena Meijers' home from her life as a child growing up in Greenville, Michigan. So guess where the party is? Yes, you got it and we are very excited to have an outdoor party with food, family, friends and a fantastic blues band! It's going to be a fantastic evening. I will be sure to post pictures of the great time with Kevin and Ali. Oh...and be sure to come early as one of our favorite sculptors ( Dale Chihuly ) is exhibiting at the gardens through September. Everyone who has an invitation will be able to view the exhibit the day of the event, so please take advantage of this amazing benefit.

She said yes!

On April 24th, Kevin travelled to Grand Rapids from Chicago by train with a plan. After the plot was set with the Rothwell family, he managed to surprise her with a bouquet of roses, and the magic words she has been waiting to hear. Of course if you know Ali she was upset that no one gave her the heads up so she could be all dressed up. She had just finished a work out and was a mess. Had we given her the heads up, it wouldn't have been a surprise. So be thankful Ali it took you totally by surprise. So if your reading this blog then check back often for the up to date happenings. Look in your mailbox for the soon to be engagement party at the Meier Gardens in June.
