About
This website begins its life as a site/blog/what have you about Chad and Melissa VonHinken. Eventually, we’d like for it to include any VonHinken who wants to contribute.
Are you a VonHinken? Please add a comment and I’ll email you – at the very least I can set you up with an @vonhinken.com email address! We can also talk about getting you set up to blog and add pictures!
About Melissa:
As far as this website is concerned, Melissa is the webmistress extraordinaire, conjurer of content fantastical, and decipherer of codes ambiguous. She used to be Melissa Norquist, but that all changed when she married Chad VonHinken on September 29, 2007. Melissa looks forward to the day she passes the foreign service exam, which is the first step in her lifelong plan to be a crazy goat lady.
About Chad:
If you ask Melissa, Chad is the BEST. He’s also the editor of this website, and proof reader of Melissa’s internet ramblings. Melissa’s ambitions of international living and goat husbandry greatly amuse him, and he’s looking forward to encouraging as much of her craziness as possible.

Hi Melissa! I bet you´ll have a though time remembering who I am, but eventually, really really trying tu fumble through your past (or maybe just looking at my last name), you´ll remember me as Blanca, the argentinian girl who lived just around your house in Camp Pendleton (1990-1992). I´m so glad y found yours and your husband´s website! (congratulations on the wedding, by the way)!!! And I really would like you to e-mail me back! I´m married too (for two years now), and have a wonderfully beautiful, 3 and a half year old son name Luca. I´m a journalist and my husband works on tv. Well, I hope I hear from you soon. Again, congrats!
Wow. Now I’m amused. I’m just going to say 3 things. 1. Mazal Tov, 2. Holy sh*t you cut your hair, 3. Make sure to visit Kfar Ha`Tsolelim when your back in Israel.
Seriously though, it’s been a long time. Just wanted to say congrats and best of luck to you.

Hey girl, it’s been a few years. I was just thinking about you and remembered your site and wanted to say Hi. Congratulations on the wedding. I did meet Chad once and I’m so happy for you. It seems you were just in SoCal. If you have the chance I’d love you catch up. Email me when you have a chance. Take Care girl.

Chad,
I wondered what happened to you, so Google led me here.
Congrats on everything! Keep in touch.
