Michigan Pictures

Lets start with the end. Here we are at the end of trip, waiting in airport.


Here is Grandma. Notice how she is holding Charles' hand. We were starting to pose with her and she said, "WAIT, like this" and put his arm around hers. It was so sweet.


We took a post-Lake Michigan rest in Holland for some warmth in the form of hot chocolate. Only problem: Dutch Parking Only!


Oh and here is me at Lake Michigan in my new coat. Charles did well with my Christmas present!!!


Nathan shooting a video. I hope that he sets it to music as a representation of the existential angst of a lake on a cold winter day.

Things that happened in December.

- I moved into my husband's house - full time.

- I bought a car.

- I visited my grandmother - who is awesome at 88.

- I fixed approximately 237 cups of tea.

- I did the dishes approximately 97 times.

- I unpacked most of my things.

- I went to several parties.

- I (we) bought a TV. The first electronic that I have purchased new since the boom box I got for Christmas in 1983. The first new TV I have ever purchased in my whole life. And by the way, the last TV I bought was 5 years old, and I purchased in 1997. (It was still going strong, but then about 2 years ago I lent it to a friend's mother, then she passed away, then I felt bad asking for it back. Seriously, how do you have that conversation?)

More on all of that soon. And someday with pictures and explanations.

- Oh, and I turned 35. It's not so bad, for those of you that are nearing it in the next few months!
