So it has been awhile since I have written in here.. and I apologize.. but I am still at Au Sable institute and it has pretty hard! But tomorrow is june first and with that comes only four more days! So I am excited about that! This last weekend though memorial day weekend was great! I got to go off the campus on which I have been stuck for two weeks and I went and saw my girlfriend who was staying with her mom at their cottage on Houghton Lake.. which was only about 45 minutes to an hour away from Au Sable which worked out quite nice!
Seems like I got to do a little of everything over the weekend.. Started off with getting up there making a cake which was festive and holiday appropriate.. then just kind of fellowshiped with Emily and her mom.. Then we got up and went to church.. then after that went to a local craft show.. had a fire over which we made hot dogs and smores.. but the fire was thanks to yours truly and it was a good one or at least that is what they tell me!! :) Then memorial day! Started off with a parade... then the ever so yummy french toast provided by none other than June, Em's mom.. After that we had a little bike ride.. on some sweet beach cruiser bikes.. to Emily's Uncle Don and Aunt Sandy's house where we saw her cousin Sherry who let us borrow her kayaks, so we took them out crusin the canals and floated around on Houghton lake.. great fun! Then we went out for pizza at this place, who's name I have forgotten, but it was great pizza.. I had pizza with Emily, her mom (June), her uncle Don and aunt sandy, and her uncle Chuck and Aunt Margie, and cousin Sherry... then after dinner we went over to Chuck and Margies.. where we took some dieing lilacs and a canoe.. we took the canoe to store in Emily's mom's garage.. but before storing it you of course have to use it.. so that is where Emily and I came in... So we suited up life-jacketed and paddle in hand.. and headed for the lake.. however the lake was a little choppy but never fear.. I mean who isn't up for a challenge.. so we tackled it.. and well it fought back.. but we were victorious! We got pretty wet in the process.. and almost flipped kinda.. but it was worth it... great fun.. then we headed back to the cottage to chill for a little bit only to come back out and watch the sunset like we did every night that I was there!! Sunsets were so beautiful... We had an interesting time with the pump working and being noisy just striving for attention but it only made the weekend that much more memorable... :)
The weekend was great and there is no way that these words can do it justice.. but at least you have a snap shot of what I did this weekend... It was soooo much fun! But now I am back at the school.. and needless to say I did not want to come back.. and am looking forward to it getting over with! I have enjoyed the people and the knowledge but now it is starting to drag.. but just a few more days! Well I guess I am going to go for now and hope to write again soon! I have to go study some plants.. woody plants at that! I am going to make like a tree and GO!
