Kira's Birthday Party Directions

For those that are coming to Kira's birthday party tomorrow, I think we're changing from the Club House to our house. Looks like we aren't going to need all the extra space of the club house. The address on the invitation was the club house address, so make sure you use our house address for directions. They're across the street from each other, so not a big deal either way. Our new address is:

11779 Sundrop Circle

Allendale, MI

In terms of driving, you might want to follow my super simple directions below. Google Maps or Map Quest might make it more complicated than it needs to be...

From US 131:

1. Continue on US 131 South until you get close to downtown
2. Exit on to I-196 WEST towards HOLLAND
3. After about 2 miles, get off on LAKE MICHIGAN DRIVE
4. Continue on LAKE MICHIGAN DRIVE for about 15 miles (~20 min)
5. Past the entrance to Grand Valley State University is 48TH AVE., Turn Right ( North )
6. Take the first Right Turn ( RICH RD. ) just after the big White Factory (also on your right)
7. RICH RD will turn left ( North ) and become 46TH AVE.
8. Take the first Right Turn ( PINGREE AVE ) just before an old corn field. This is the entrance to Boulder Ridge.
9. At the Stop Sign, Turn Right and continue Right on the first road ( SUNDROP CIRCLE ). Our house is the first one on the right

From I-96:

1. After the EAST BELTLINE EXIT on I-96 WEST, keep left and continue on I-196 WEST towards HOLLAND
2. Continue with Step 3 from above.

Our New Home

We've been running out of space for a bit now with the three girls sharing one room. Our lease is up in April so we've been trying to figure out our next step. Well, this morning we signed the Rent-To-Own agreement for our new house! We're really excited to get out of apartment buildings and have a house of our own to live in. After a year of leasing, we'll have a purchase option. Its a manufactured home community. The place has a clubhouse, with indoor pool and a large playground area for the girls. So, here's a few aerials and a bunch of pictures of the new place. Latest we'll get our keys is March 15th. We'll be having Kira's birthday party at the clubhouse (already reserved it) so mark your calendars for April 3rd!

We'll be a little outside of GR
