My Better Half - Janis+Mike-01

Mike is an electrician by day, and moonlights as a wedding photographer. Janis is in university to become a teacher, and will graduate this spring (Or did it already happen?). They like to eat crepes for breakfast, have dance parties in the kitchen, and invite friends over for dinner.

Janis and Mike are newlyweds! You can see their gorgeous wedding photos here and learn more about them both on their blog, My Suitcase Heart.

Thank you Janis and Mike for being a part of My Better Half!


My Better Half - Janis+Mike-03My Better Half - Janis+Mike-02

MIKE
1. Loves old Volkswagens
2. Deathly afraid of heights
3. Can hold his own on a dance floor

JANIS
1. Is in the process of growing out her pixie cut of three years.
2. Is incredibly klutzy.
3. Has a scar above her lip from when she playfully snuck up behind her older brother while he was playing baseball with an aluminum baseball bat. You can imagine what happened.

THEIR STORY
We grew up 1.6 km away from each other (that's about a mile, for you American folk!), went to the same school together for three years, and had more mutual friends than we could count. It seems natural to assume that we were childhood sweethearts, but somehow we didn't get together until we were in our mid twenties. But once we started dating, we didn't waste a lot of time. We were married in a year and half!

Thank you Janis and Mike for being a part of My Better Half!
