Weekend at Home


This past weekend, my friend Michelle and I decided to go home because we didn't have classes on Friday. We left Thursday about 1 when I got out of class and were home by 6pm!! It was so nice!! Adam picked me up and we went straight to my house to get in the Jeep with my parents and head to dinner with Sharon. We got home just in time for Greys (thankfully) and then hung out for the night. Adam woke up early in the morning to go to class and then I got back in bed and watched tv with my mom! We woke up and got ready and then took an online test then headed out for the day. We ran a few errands, went to a few appointments, but started the day off with lunch at the new Sonic. It was such a fun afternoon. When Adam was out of class, he headed over for the weekend. On Friday, Adam was so excited to go to the opening night of High School Musical 3, so I decided I should probably go along with him (hahahahaha, right!). I loved it!! We ran into a bit of a dilema at the theatre, going to West at 10pm on the weekend = not good idea!! There was a HUGE fight... 10 state trooper, township, and county cars all loaded with teens going to jail! Adam and I were SO scared!! The whole drive home, we saw more and more cop cars going to the theatre to take more to the bars. Just crazy!! The whole time we were watching the movie there were kids taking pictures, running in and out, talking, calling people on their cell phones, throwing candy, etc. I still loved the movie!! Then, Saturday, Adam and I met his mom and dad to go to Ann Arbor. We got down there and ate at Zingerman's Deli for a delicious lunch!! Adam and his dad went to the U of M vs. MSU game and his mom and I went shopping all afternoon! We headed home after a loss for one of Adams teams and a victory for the other! Sunday, after church mom made a delicious lunch and then we just hung out and did homework. It was such a relaxing weekend - - - I am so blessed to be able to come home and enjoy the time with my family and friends!!

SOLD


I thought I would be sad when I found out that my Sunfire sold, but really, the day has come and I am happy to let some other person enjoy it as much as I did!! It was such a great car, excellent gas milegae, and pretty good driving, not top of the line, but did me good!! Hope the next person loves it as much as I did :-)

Fall Break


Friday Night:
I got dropped off in East Lansing about 8pm. Adam picked me up and we went to my house for the weekend. When we got home, my mom and dad had a fire ready outside, so we sat outside and talked with them for quite some time. It was such a beautiful night!! We came inside and had wonderful cheesy potato soup. Shortly after, we all went to bed to get a good nights rest for our big day on Saturday.
Saturday:
Adam and I woke up and found mom and dad had made a splendid breakfast. We had pancakes, sausage, eggs . . . the whole nine yards! After breakfast, we had a nice little photo shoot {see above} before we headed off to the U of M game. We drove down to Ann Arbor, watched U of M stink it up but had a blast! It was so much fun!! I had never been there, and of course Adam had, so he showed me around and answered all 81 questions. After the game, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and ate yummy chicken! We met mom and dad at the movie theater to watch Fireproof. That was a cute movie!! After the movie, we went back to my house and hung out and then went to bed.
Sunday:
We all woke up and got ready for church. We went to first service, then while mom and dad were in Sunday school, Adam and I went to the mall to waste time. There, we ran into Mr and Mrs. Rockwell! That was a nice surprise - - - Adam talked law with Mr. Rockwell and I helped Mrs. Rockwell pick out new jewelry. We went back to church for a leader appreciation lunch. Wasn't that a blast?! After lunch, we had another photo shoot {see below}!! We came inside and started to do homework, but I got sick! I had a fever, stomach ache, head ache, the whole deal. I rested all day while Adam did his homework! Sunday night, we watched our usual shows and then went to sleep.
Monday:
Mom and dad went to work and Adam left shortly after to make it back in time for class. I woke up and felt horrible!! I looked and my tonsils were touching in the back of my throat! Then, I went downstairs and started my homework. I did homework ALL day and then went to East Lansing to pick Adam up from his first Law Midterm. I got soooo lost around that campus . . . lets just say its no Olivet Naz!! After I picked Adam up, we went to his apartment and hung out with Amy for a while. We ordered pizza and just relaxed!! It was such a fun night just hanging out! About midnight, I drove back home and went to sleep!
Tuesday:
I woke up and did more homework. Then, I packed and got ready to head out. Mom came home from school early and we talked for a while. We left about 5:30 and got to school about 9 (IL time) and settled back in here. I miss being at home and with everyone! Cant wait until the next time :-)

Michigan, On A Whim


This weekend, spur of the moment, my roommate Marisa and I decided to come home! We had been trying to make plans all week about going to MI, but they kept falling through. Marisa plays softball here at Olivet and when she got out of practice at 6pm, she came home and we went to McDonalds for dinner. There, we decided to go back to our apartment, shower and get on the road for our 5 hour trip to MI! We got on the road about 7pm and got to East Lansing to pick up Adam about midnight! From there, we drove to my house and met Eric and hung out for the weekend! We had such a blast hanging out, relaxing, not sleeping, watching movies, etc! Honestly, this is what college is about!! :-)


While we were home, my dad and I took my little red Sunfire up to Bedell's Car Lot to sell it. It was sort of sad dropping it off, but when I was driving the old gilappy[sp?], it reminded me how much I LOVE my new car!!
