summer so far

As of right now, my summer is 10 times better than it started off.  It started off slow but now it's really getting going.  I'm just really happy that we got my headache situation figured out and my allergies are back under control so now I'm not bothered all day with those things.

I have been babysitting and working for my uncle a lot.  Him and my aunt sell their own line of jewlery and in the summer they travel all over the state for art shows and such.  So I either go with one of them to a show or I babysit my cousins.  I'd rather babysit because then I can go swimming all day!

My internship is busy busy busy and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.  Maybe it will though after the bike tour which is July 23-26.

Last week my parents and I went out to Grand Rapids to drop off furniture in my storage unit and I just wanted to stay.  I still can't wait to move back.

And last night was the Wyandotte fireworks.  I felt like I went to a circus freakshow, not the fireworks.  I'm amazed by people sometimes.  Lots of rednecks and scene sluts... oh, downriver you've gotten so much worse since I moved 3 years ago.

In other news... I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at the midnight premiere (it was real good) and I am now the proud owner of a venus fly trap.

I have a plethora of pictures on my phone from the summer as of last night, so here you go.

I miss Grand Valley...

It's been a long time since I spent a summer downriver and I was really excited to spend so much time down here.  Now I realize how much I took living out there for granted. I love walking through the campus at night and how quiet it is. And more than anything I just want to go to the beach in Grand Haven and have a picnic and lay in the sand and read.

Opening Day

Yesterday was opening day at Bob Jo's. And of course Courtney, Annie and I went to get the best frozen custard in the state even though it was cold. Bob Jo's is a downriver landmark and opening day is a big deal.
 
If you have never been there, I highly recommend you go sometime between now and memorial day.
