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!! }

So my mom, McCall, Dj came out to visit us this last week. They flew in Thursday morning at about 5:30. Willn I picked them up and headed for Auburn Hills. We got to our house and Will headed to work for the day and I took them to Tim Horton's for breakfast. YUMMY!!! Then we headed back to the house and all took a good long three hour nap. We got ready and went to the Great Lakes Crossing Mall to shop. We found cute clothes, ate lunch at Johnny Rockets, and even had our eyebrows threaded....it was awesome and I totally recommend it. After shopping we were too pooped to go to a movie so we headed back to my house and hung out. We stayed up late talking bout the past and about how grown up McCall's kids are getting. On Friday, Will took the day off of work and we went golfing at Mulberry. It was soooo much fun. We got three carts and it was a blast. My mom was kicking butt!!!!!! I didn't feel very well and I got really dizzy so we left and came back to the house. Will grilled up some yummy burgers and we also went for a walk around the complex and to the Flea Market. Then we went and checked out my school. It was sooooo much fun to finally get to show my family the place where all my hard work is going on!!! :) Saturday we went for a bike ride at the Paint Creek Trail. We borrowed some bikes from our friends, Oliver and Julia(Thanks so much) and we had a blast. It's sooooo pretty and I was glad to share this with my mom n sisters. Then we went to eat at the Macaroni Grill(my fav) and after we got extremely full we went back to my house and played Nintendo(which we got at the flea market). We also watched Australia!!! Sunday my mom n dj went to church will with n I and it was great. I had the opportunity to bare my testimony and also have all the awesome people in our Lake Orion ward meet my mom n sista!!!! We LOVE our ward out here and I am so happy that they got to meet some of my family. McCall made a great spaghetti dinner for us. We ate and then went and watched the Detroit Shock play the Connecticut Sun. Detroit lost but we had lots of fun. Then we went for a walk around my complex and finished watching Austraila and played the Nintendo. I am soooo happy my mom n McCall and Dj got to come visit us. It was sooo great for us to get to share the love we have of Michigan with our family. This place is very special to us and this whole experience has been a true and complete blessing and learning experience. We miss and love our family every single day but it's so awesome to get to have them have a vacation and let us take care of them for a couple days!!! We love you guys!!!

BBQ...Motorcycles...Friends....and a CraSH!!!

Okay....so on the 24th Will n I went over to the Gibson's house for a BBQ!!! Will cooked some awesome ribs and everyone else cooked some great food like salads, chicken, shrimp, dutch oven potatoes ....well we took our motorcycle out there cuz their backyard is where Will built a track and all they guys get together and ride out there. There was me n Will, the Gibson family, the Lee family and the Jacksons. We were all having so much fun riding the mini bike and four-wheelers and watching Will race around the track going Mach 90!!! So on the very last lap Will was going to ride we were all sitting on the grass watching him, he went around the first corner fine and hit this little jump and landed fine...I looked away for a split second and when I turned back I saw the worst thing I have ever seen.... Will went flying in the air over his handle bars and his bike flipped forward a couple time and I watched Will lay on the ground with his bike right beside him. Some of our friends were screaming and I jumped out of my chair and sprinted across the track to him cuz I know Will and he didn't get up fast so I knew he was hurt. When I got over to him he had stood up and was walking his bike off the track. I looked at his face and it was cut up and bleeding and he was about half out of it. Ollie came over on the 4wheeler and Vaughn came over and Will kept saying he was okay but he was out of it. He took off his helmet...which was busted....and his face was all dirty and bleeding(see the pic below). He hurt his wrist pretty bad. Ne ways.....needless to say after that happened I was a wreck. I have never seen Will or anyone crash like that right in front of me and I had to hold back from crying cuz I didn't want to scare all the kids but I just want to say how important helmets and gear are to wear when riding. I know that Will would have been way more beat up than he is had he not been wearing his gear. I am so glad that we have great friends who are so good to us and that we were able to go spend the day with them. Ne ways.....I love my Willy and I am sooooo grateful to the Man upstairs for watching over him ;)

We got a new car!!! woo-hoo!!!

So on Saturday Will n I decided to go check out this big car liquidation they had at the Pontiac Silverdome cuz we have been looking for a new car and we thought...hey what the heck lets go check it out. So we went there not even thinking we would find nething we liked but of course we found this Mazda 6 and after Will drove it we both were pretty much sold on it. It's a 2005 and I am really impressed with how clean it is. So of course the first thing we did when we got home is WASH it and then of course it rained cuz it's Michigan but oh well. Ne ways we are really blessed to have been able to get this car at such a good deal and we were really needing another one. Woo-HOo!!

Also...Will built a workbench in our garage on Saturday. It looks awesome...I don't have ne pics of it finished yet but this is him building it. It's great cuz he built it so it has shelves for storage and all his tools go nicely on it!!!

My 4th of July Cookies....YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Independence Day weekend...Will n I headed over to Benton Harbor Michigan, which is on the Western Side of the State. We stayed overnight two nights at a nice hotel in Benton Harbor!!! It was really sweet...they had a nice pool and hot tub and I played in the pool while Will relaxed in the hot tub. We ate at IHOP the first night there and got milkshakes and drove over to St. Joseph and walked along Silver Beach. It was really pretty. The sun was setting and it was sooooo nice. On the 4th we drove about 20 minutes to Buchanan, Michigan to watch Pro-Motocross at Red Bud Track. It was really really really busy. There was like 20k people there. We set up our chairs and walked around. The track was HUGE!!! We set up our little area with chairs and a blanket and our cooler full of H20 and of course Rockstars!!!! We ate some yummy homeade corndogs and shaved ice...of course...it's a must on the 4th!!! We watched the races and of course I was cheering for Chad Reed and Will for Ivan Tedesco. Chad Reed won the 1st Moto and took 3rd in the second so he took 2nd overall. Josh Grant won the 2nd moto. But the best part was at the end of the 2nd moto when Reed and Tedesco were fighting for 2nd up until the finish...Tedesco won but it was awesome!!!!!!!!! We decided to leave early because honestly we were totally smoked out. Everyone around us was smoking like crazy and after a couple hours there my stomach got really sick from the smoke. Also people were getting beer on my blanket so we both agreed it was time to leave. We headed back into town and decided to go find somewhere to eat dinner. We picked Pizza Hut cuz it was the least busiest and sounded the best. After dinner we decided to go back to the hotel and go swimming. We swam and then watched Home Alone 2 on TV. It was soooooo fun for us to get to spend so much time together relaxing. We just got home and unloaded the car and now we are going to watch AK and Tiger play some Golf. GO AK!!!!!! Ne ways...we had a great holiday and we are both so grateful to live in America........ God Bless America!!!
