So I thought it was about time for an update.....since it's been way too long. Well summer is over and Will n I both have started school again. But before school started we had an awesome Labor Day Weekend. We went to the flea market on Saturday and Will bought some tools and they had a car show down there and we got to see lots of really sweet cars. We spent the rest of Saturday relaxing and cleaning and organizing and Will is working on building some bamboo fly rods for fishing. On Monday (Labor Day) Will went golfing in the am with Doug, Oliver, Ray and Vaughn. He said he had a blast. He even got an Eagle. I had to stay home to finish up on my cases for Property. Then I went for a run down at Orion Oaks Park and came home. We both got ready and went to the Pollard's in Lakeville for a BBQ and Lake Bash. We had soooo much fun with all the families that were there. We ate burgers and corn on the cob and went out on the pontoon for a ride. The weather was super nice. Also, Oliver talked me into running a leg of a marathon in downtown Detroit in October so I am pretty excited about that...I am doing the short leg only aroud 3 miles so not too shabby!!!! I started school on Tuesday and I have three classes this semester: Property I, Con Law I, and Evidence. My Property Class has 103 students!!!! It's HUGE!!!! I have already met some really nice people and I am excited for this semester. I am still awaiting my grades from last term....hopefully within the next two weeks I will find out what I got. Will started school again as well. He is taking Intro to Machine Tools, MIG Welding, English, and History. He got straight A's last semester. I am soooo proud of him. He is still working for Veolia and enjoying his job. Him and Ollie and Doug have been plainning some trips to go ride their bikes and I am so grateful Will found some friends that like to ride. I was able to go shopping with some of my school loan money and get some new clothes for me and Will and anyone who knows me knows I LOVE to shop but I have been trying to be better about not spending too much money but Will was in need of some new digs as was I. I love living right by the Great Lakes Mall....the shopping is excellent. My new fav store is Burlington Coat Factory cuz there is soooo much more than coats for great prices. This weekend we are heading up to Northern Michigan with Brandt and Ashley Malone for a vacation at their place in Boyne. We are super super super excited. I also heard that my aunt Kaylene was in a car accident.....we have been praying sooo much for her and I am so glad she is alive and I can only hope she continues to get better. I have been missing our families sooo much lately but that usually happens when I have to head back to school. I often think about our nieces and nephews getting ready for the first day of school and how big they are getting. Also it's Davi's senior year and I wish soooo badly I could come home and get to see one of her soccer games but I know that it's too expensive and Michigan is where we need to be. We have really grown to love it out here, it's definately different but there is sooo much to love out here. Oh yeah.....FUNNY PART: yesterday we were coming home from the Mall and Will swerved in the oncoming land and flippped around and put the flashers in the Yukon on...jumped into the street to save a HUGE turtle that was crossing the road a couple blocks from our house. This was the biggest turtle I have ever seen in the "wild." Will attempted to pick it up and it turned it's head and snapped at him so he set it down but cars were coming so he picked it up again and sprinted across the road with it. It was sooooo funny. He was soo scared of that turtle. Our fishies Miagi and Flower passed away but Ducky is still going strong and actually seems to be better alone than with other fish. Well....that's about it for the update. Hope everyone is doing well!!! {PeAcE!! }
