Deborah's Story

Update 10/2022 The year has been a roller coaster for sure. Health issues had us on the run between the 3 of us. I finally went the beginning of Oct. and had surgery on my heart to correct my afib issues. They went in to correct one issues and corrected a 2nd one as well. Minding and hope to be off meds by January. Almost back to full activities. Celebrated mom's 90th Birthday with all my siblings in September. Don't wait to see family, You might not get a chance if you do. May you be blessed in all that you do. 3/2022 Hi, I want to apologize to those that have sent out friend request. I am ine that is not great at getting involved with alot of people. With all our in need animals I stay focus on what they need. I am the type of person that likes to see the change of other people but not push in. As covid still hangs in our family has been fortunate not to have contacted it. The mustang project has not progressed very fast as the only thing accomplished is completing the motor. I had a minor set back which the doctors classified as a heart attack in 6/21 but in 1/22 with a second episode found it to be afib. On new meds and things are going good. Hope all of you are well. Stay safe, Enjoy life and keep family close. Update Dec 2020 My family is still together and in our same home. We are still involved with horses with my husband and daughter showing. I bought Den a 4wk old colt in 2014 for his birthday and in 2018 we went to Oklahoma for the Pinto World horse show. Sam and Den placed in the top 10 in some of the classes they showed in. The drag truck didn't became a reality but as your can see in the pictures we have a new project restoring and modifying a mustang. I still work for the YMCA doing childcare and Den still works...Expand for more
for Ford. Sam works for a company making medical supplies as a press operator. This year as for many of you has been challenging to say the least for us. All our plans were canceled. The horse shows we planned on going to did not happen. So we started home projects which are still in progress. Take nothing for granted as this year has made things very unpredictable. Tell those you are close to how much you care and love them. I hope you are all well. Stay safe. Hey, I am a very busy proud mom of one(Sami). I am still married to the boy next door (Den Hiemstra). We live in Alto, Mi on 10 acres. I raised and bred Sibrian Huskies for over 20 years. Our daughters interest have us into horses. She has us involved in 4-H, with me helping as a 4-h leader and judging coach.As a leader I am involved alo with the horse shows that happen at the Barry Co fair grounds. Our club does many community service projects also. Sami is the #1 ind. in the state for 2008 in Horse Judging and her team also placed #1. Active in many areas of 4-H we have been to many national competitions. This is her last year in 4-H. She also graduated in 2008.She went to Caledonia schools until her 9th grade year then we home schooled her 10th - 12th. She works in childcare and is going to school for pharmacy tech. We own 4 horses, 4 dogs, 6 cats at the present time. I work in child care at present for the YMCA, but in the past have done individual patient care. I listen to country music and go to concerts when we can. We watch Nascar and cheer for the fords,since Den has worked for a Ford car dealership for over 30 years. Den and Sami are going to put together a drag truck this winter from a 94 Ranger. My number one job is taking care of my family. Hope all is well.
