Adventures With Alivia: October 2010

My name is Baby Kosten but my mom and dad call me Peanut for the time being. I hear my parents have family and friends spread across Michigan and the United States so they've decided to start this blog to share fun information. They are more what you would call "math people" so they are leaving the writing up to me! Get ready for an honest look at how life changes in the Kosten house with my arrival!!

First things first, let me introduce you to my mom and dad! By the time I arrive they will have been married for 4 1/2 years and together for almost 10! They've spent the last few years working really hard as a teacher and professor/statistician and finishing graduate school. It all started as students at Grand Valley State University where they met while working at The Meadows Golf Course. My dad has already been talking to me about golf - I think he's hoping I can pay for college with a golf scholarship!

Their wedding was on a beautiful day in July 2006 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in St. Johns where my mom grew up. They celebrated with a reception at Hawk Hollow Golf Course, which my dad really liked. They went on an amazing honeymoon to Acapulco, Mexico. Don't they look young!?!?

They've also had the opportunity to travel to wonderful places, golf, take in beautiful days at Lake Michigan and spend lots of time with friends and family. I can tell they are so excited to welcome me into their world and start a new chapter as a family!!
