Another great reason to be back in Michigan - being around to go to the Calvin volleyball games and cheer on my absolutely stellar cousins! Here's a pic from one of their games last week:
It's so great to be able to support these girls in person! Taylor, during this game I learned I don't know how to take good action shots. Camera lesson sometime soon? k thanks :)

Labor Day
I had a fantastic Labor Day weekend. It's nice to work at a shop that is closed for the holidays, rather than a hotel which is open 24-7. I also appreciate having Sunday off, guaranteed! It's the little things sometimes :)
I spent my Labor Day weekend with both family and friends, first going down to the fantastic little town of Marshall, Michigan for a day at Anna Doud's cottage, and then heading down on Monday to the even littler town of Brookston, Indiana, for a day with my sister and brother-in-law at Camp Tecumseh, the YMCA camp where they live. It was a fun day of sunshine, canoeing, bean bags, and conversation with my siblings, parents, and grandparents. I am grateful to be near this part of the family again and to be able to drive and see them for a day!

Back in Michigan
I am back in Grand Rapids! Working at Art of the Table, a local shop focused on selling items used for entertaining guests (specializing in items you won't find in larger chain stores) and busy catching up with old friends and family that are around. Today was a fantastic day off: went to the Meijer gardens with my aunt, cousin, and her baby, had friends over to the lake house for dinner, and then went waterskiing and tubing! Finish it all off with a glass of wine from my work place, and life is happy :)
Pictures, of course:
The lake house:
Meijer Gardens had their Chihuly exhibit showing:
But of course it's always beautiful there, even when it does rain:
aaaaand the wine (great glass!):
UPDATE: It's now 11:30 pm. The rain just started up again. Currently saying praises for the clear weather that allowed our boat time earlier on this most rainy day!
