We love to keep in touch on Facebook and Instagram! We have a friendly and supportive Facebook page, where we share lots of information about our handbell music and our life together in Holland, Michigan. You’ll also find posts about long-distance relationships there!
We originally set up our Facebook page after we’d played handbell duets together for the first time, when Larry visited Carla in England in 2011. It started as a way to share our music videos with family and friends. After a while, we started using the page to talk about our long-distance relationship, and to offer support and encouragement to other couples separated by distance. We talked about our U.S visa process, and the Green Card process, and all the struggles along the way. Even though we closed the distance in 2012, we still receive messages from many people in long distance relationships. We continue to offer encouragement to them as they go through the many challenges along the road to togetherness.
If you’re a fan of social media, our Facebook page is a great way to connect with us! You can find out more about our handbell music, and look for support if you’re in a long-distance relationship. You can post on the page if you want to ask questions or share something with us, and we’ll be happy to hear from you!
Our new Instagram!
We recently decided to get Instagram too, so if you’re on Instagram, let’s connect there! We’re still new there, so it’s not currently the most exciting place to communicate with us, but we’re enjoying seeing handbell photos and videos from people we haven’t encountered on Facebook, so you might enjoy it too!
We also have an X-formerly Twitter account which we try to keep up-to-date with tweets about new music, and handbell news. We also share long-distance relationship tips and just about anything else. Admittedly, we’re not always as good at keeping up with X/Twitter as we should be. If our lives get busy, it’s the first thing we forget about. However, if Facebook ever goes down, that’s where you’ll find us! We do retweet and follow other accounts – so if you’re on X or Twitter or whatever it’s called now, follow us and let’s connect!
