Day #2

Mom and I in Linda's front lawn!

Barns are every where in Michigan

Today was a beautiful day.  We relaxed in the morning and spent the afternoon at the town hall having a graduation party for Nicole (my niece).  We had great homemade food, spent a couple hours outside enjoying the grass and playing games, then wrapped it up with yummy homemade cake made by my sister (yes, the same sister who made my wedding cake!).

It has been a welcomed vacation, although it was different not having Kevin and he kids around.  Yes, for those of you wondering, this was my first time away since having kids.  It was hard on Brandon and I missed the boys like crazy but it was well worth it! 

Driving around the more rural areas of Michigan, like when we were visiting Joe's (my step-brother) grandma, made me want to have a barn and a farm house with a wrap around porch.  So, should I ever have the chance to move to Michigan, those are on my list of must haves.  It's still hard to get over how incredibly green and lush it is here.  They even have to mow the side of the road!  I will say this, I have found that I need the mountains....how else do you know which way you are going?
