Live: A Day On A Lake


This weekend I traveled over 12 hours each way to attend a bridal shower for one of my cousins at her parents house in Massachusetts. The shower was lovely-beautiful flowers, yummy food, great company and lovely gifts. But the best part was the three day house party I got to have with a bunch of my female relatives.   Friday was filled with party-prep and late night chatting. Saturday was event day with an afternoon spent floating in the lake and an evening on the pontoon boat. But Sunday was spent on the speed boat, water skiing, tubing and taking pictures!

A few of the lovely girls in my family, I loved that we all had on kinda retro glam swimsuits.




 I did not water ski, but there were some in our group that not only gave it a try, but also had success! Super impressive was my cousin Maggie, she was able to get up on only her third try and that was after she almost had her foot ripped off by the rope!


 I did do some tubing, something I haven't done in years and years. I think it is scarier when you are an adult.


 And you just can't beat the view. These are only a few of the shots of the amazing houses and properties out on the lake (I chose these because my Aunt and Uncle's place is front and center). Can you imagine waking up to this everyday. My only question is; why didn't I buy a house on a lake when I had my chance?!?

How was your weekend? Did you spend it outside soaking up the summer sun? Do you have the sunburn to prove it? (I'm hopeful mine will at least become a tan!)

I heart Michigan and the Winter Blues


I've started at least half a dozen posts this week, posts about resolutions and goals, posts about the good the bad and the ugly of 2011, posts about hope and about being down, all fine, all true and all posts that will never see the light of day. The last few weeks I've had a hard time putting my thoughts in words and as a result I haven't had much to say here, in the one part of my life that is all words. Winter is here and it has made a little down and like hibernating for the next 3 to 4 months. So my first goal of the year is going to be to do something that makes me happy every day in an attempt to fight off those winter blues. Today I'm thinking about how much I love Michigan and listening to this song over and over and over (now tell me that doesn't lift your spirits, just a little bit)!

P.S. isn't that print the cutest? I gifted one to my Brother and Sister In-Law for Christmas, along with this TX (my SIL home state) one.
