happy friday

We have finally caught up from last week's vacation and it took me until yesterday to find my desk through all the paperwork, mail, notes, etc. Becky did a thorough recap of our week in Michigan City. That place holds some very happy memories and I love that we continue to go back to make more.

Tonight we are planning to go to Art Hill to see Jaws (my first time) and eat food truck fare. I'm pretty excited about it, so you are more than welcome to join us. The rest weekend we're looking forward to doing a few house projects and taking it easy.

This week I only found a few links to share with you, so click away my friends and enjoy!

This makes me feel justified...and maybe stinky

If only I could do this all day long...

This is the perfect definition of Midwesterner's...especially the ranch

This easy deodorant trick is so clever, I wish I had thought of it

Have a great weekend!

the sushi experiement

One of the things on my list of 25 things to do before I turn 26 was to eat sushi. I'd been putting it off for as long as I could because it was on the list more for Alex than for me. But, I finally agreed to give it a try.

We went to Wasabi with a group of friends who delights in uncooked fish so they could guide us. We ordered a few different types and Alex eagerly tried them and enjoyed them. I, on the other hand, could barely swallow my first bite (I have a texture thing...mushy foods are the worst ie: pudding, jello, whipped mashed potatoes etc.).  But I gave it the good ole college try and can now (and forever) mark sushi off my list.

Is it normal that everyone's comes out together on a boat?

Either way, the presentation was nice

happy friday

This week was a great week! We were fortunate enough to be able to spend the whole week with my family on Lake Michigan. The weather was a bit rainier and cooler than we would have expected for the first week of July, but we still managed to have a great time. 

I will post pictures from the week when we get unpacked and settled. I was too busy having fun to round up any links to share, so you're on your own this weekend. 

happy friday

This week was a short work week and all in all it wasn't too bad. I tried sushi for the first time-not my favorite food and by that I mean I will never eat it again, unless forced to or if my palate changes. Never say never right?

We hung out with our high school students on Tuesday and they are definitely in summer mode, which is fun but it also makes me miss the carefree days of summer break. We also had some friends over for a game night Wednesday night.

Now, I'm in packing and cleaning mode as we get ready to spend some time with my family on Lake Michigan. I'm looking forward to laying by the beach (hopefully it will be warm enough), reading, shopping, sleeping in and playing with some of my favorite kids and their parents.

I found some links to share with you this week,so enjoy!

I have checked out a couple new books from the library to read on our vacation and this one and this audiobook to listen to on the drive

I wish I were a) this creative and b) had this much time on my hands

I don't know if you heard, but this is the "best job in America"...yes that was a corny pun

Have a great 4th of July weekend!
