Dill, the Monarch caterpillar

Brett and I were seriously so excited when Dill got into his J shape! We woke up Sunday morning and he was just hanging there, ready to chrysalis and turn into a monarch butterfly! He is amazing. Seriously. How amazing is that you capture a caterpillar, he eats milkweed and eats and eats, and then he crawls to the top of his home, attaches his butt to the top of it and just hangs there until he turns into a cocoon! It'll be a about 2 weeks for him to turn into a butterfly. We're gonna be proud parents when he flies away. Even Brett's mom is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her grand-butterfly, Dill. Hehehe <3

Cottage in Shelby, MI

Friday night, Brett and I drove up to Shelby, Michigan to meet up with Jer and Kait to stay overnight at his aunt's cottage. It was just past Stony Lake and down this long private drive with all of these other cottages right on Lake Michigan. It was so nice and awesome we were able to stay there! We got there and drove out to Stony Lake's little mini-mart, to pick up a few groceries for the evening and for breakfast. We got a few groceries (super expensive and weirdo foods!) and left to go back to the cottage. When we asked the girl there if there was a Meijer or some kind of grocery store around, there was literally nothing unless you drove all the way back to Muskegon. I could never live out there with no grocery store! We went back to the cottage, watched some television, but just mostly chatted all night, which was really fun. That cottage was great to just sit around and relax and hang out with good friends.

The next morning, Brett and I woke up to a view of the lake, with huge waves crashing on Lake Michigan because of the wind. It was super windy and gray and kind of drizzly which was a bummer, but it all turned out to be really fun nonetheless. We got up, made eggs and waffles for breakfast, got dressed and ready. We took a really long walk through the dunes after that.
We got all the way to the top and the views were awesome! To the east, it was all farmland and super green, and if you looked west it was all dunes and Lake Michigan. We ran down the hill and walked back to the cottage, to spend our afternoon relaxing in the living room and taking super long naps (so relaxing and amazing!) We found a monarch caterpillar, so we caught it,
and I made a cage for it. I named him Dill, and I brought him home so I can watch him create a cocoon and turn into a monarch butterfly!

We drove into Shelby's little main street for dinner, and ate dinner at The Pizza Depot which didn't even accept credit cards. Everyone knew each other in there too. It was crazy; we were cracking up at some of the locals. The pizza actually turned out really good and it was fun. We drove back to the cottage, packed up our stuff, cleaned up the apartment and headed back to Grand Haven. Super great time, although summer has officially left us. Oh well, classes start Monday and summer is over for me. Great way to end the summer. <3

(500) Days of Summer

Tonight, Brett and I decided to drive out to Grand Rapids to see (500) Days of Summer. We've been waiting forever to see this, and we finally just decided to drive out and see it tonight. And I'm seriously so glad we did because it's probably my new favorite movie. Well, definitely top three, at least. It is seriously amazing. Every second of this movie is amazing. The atmosphere was wonderful, everything was just wonderful. Even the soundtrack was too good to be true. (I can't go to bed right now because I'm downloading it.) So ugh, what a perfect movie. Now I want to dye my hair brown and cut my bangs like Zooey Deschanel. She's stunning.

Half Hearted Hero at Mixtape Cafe

Monday night, Brett didn't think we were going to go to this show because we didn't really have the money to do so, but I surprised him right after work and said we were able to go! We got some dinner and drove out to Grand Rapids. We paid our way to get in, it was around 7 and the show hadn't started yet, so we walked down to Biggby. I saw Justin, got a short soy caramel marvel (mmm!) and we walked back looking at all of the new things that are being built and renovated in Grand Rapids. It's insane how much construction is down there right now; I'm so excited for that city to watch it grow and grow. It has so much potential and I'm glad it's finally up and coming.


(half-hearted hero)

So the first band was not really our thing, so we sat upstairs. Half Hearted Hero played second, which was crazy, and awesome (because we could leave afterwards! haha) But they were really good. Brett was trying to get me into them for weeks before this show and I was really impressed and now I'm loving listening to their CD. Really good band. And they were all really nice guys, Brett got a CD and t-shirt. After them, we left immediateeeeely and drove home.

Summer ending

So summer is winding down to it's end and the weather has definitely reflected that. It was in the sixty-degree range this weekend, and I feel like fall is right around the corner. End of summer is always so bittersweet. I love summer so much, but fall is my favorite. I'm loving the free time, but I'm so ready for classes and to start working hard at finishing college. I'm so ready for fall fashion, apple orchards, pumpkin carving, trips we have planned, but I'm definitely going to enjoy these last weeks of beach visits, pier walks, hot air and summer.


Today, Brett and I had a movie fest in our living room. Afterwards, we decided to get twists and walk along the pier. Walked a few miles, gorgeous weather, lovely scenery, ran into a few familiar faces, got some photographs.


(brett)

(me)

I've recently been trying to prepare myself for a few goals, and have been obsessing over my fall "to-do" list. Fall semester begins in 1 week and I want to work hard to be on the president's list again, starting september is when the fall fashion calendar begins and I want to work hard at learning more about fashion and continue to revamp my closet as I have been lately, I want to learn how to cook real recipes (I'm going to start with a recipe I've wanted to cook for so long: asian beef + noodles), I want to finally (after maintaining all summer) get back to losing weight and lose these remaining 9.2 pounds to get down to 110 pounds even and then maintain there. I want to purchase new books and start reading a lot more. I want to watch every old movie that Grace Kelly was in. I want to continue working on this apartment and get our kitchen retiled as our last "home improvement project" and work at the guest bedroom after Peter moves out. Lots of trips in autumn planned, lots of things going on. I'm super excited and looking forward to the future. But I'm going to take these last few summer weeks and thoroughly enjoy every second I have left of them. ♥

Michigan's Adventure

Saturday was Peter's birthday/going away party at Michigan's Adventure. The forecast read mid-sixties and scattered showers, but we decided to try our luck and head out to North Muskegon. We rode up with Peter and Andrea (it poured on the way there), paid our way, got inside the park and waited in a store for the rain to subside. We rode 1 ride and then on the tilt-a-whirl, it started downpouring. We were absolutely soaked and it was freezing cold. Jer, Kait, Bren, Andrew showed up and we all rode Shivering Timbers (shivering fit the mood!) and that was a lot of fun. Jeremy and Kait were so hilarious on that ride, I was dying laughing. But it was alright. We got to ride a few rides and roller coasters, but the rain was just on and off, we got through all of the rides, it was way too cold to go into the water park, so we left early.


(brett and i waiting in line)

Afterwards, we went to dinner with Jeremy and Kait at El Camino. Then, they drove us home to Grand Haven and dropped us off. Brett and I sat home waiting for the next showing to begin, and then went to go see Inglourious Basterds at GH9. It was a good movie, but I had my knees up and scarf over my face the entire time because I couldn't stand the head-scalping, face-carving scenes which were so gross! That's Quentin Tarantino for you; of course.

Cedar Point

This weekend we headed out to go to Cedar Point for our anniversary. We've been there 3 times together, and we've been together for 3 years, so we definitely go a lot but we've decided to stay away for at least 5 years. It's not that we didn't have fun - we did. The rides are so amazing there, but the people just get worse and worse with each passing year. The line waits weren't terrible, but the people we had to wait in line with were the worst. Like.. weekend ruining, the worst. But we got to go on all our favorite rides: The Raptor, Max-Air, Wicked Twister, Millenium Force, Maverick (our favorite), Mean Streak, Sky-Hawk, Magnum XL and Top Thrill Dragster (twice)! So the rides were a lot of fun; the weather turned out great (except maybe just a tad hot) But our hotel was 30 minutes away in a boring town, so next time we go we're going to try to get a hotel at the park. But I've been on a people-hater streak since being there, I'm so happy sitting in solitude right now!


(waiting in line for the sky-hawk)

(on the sky-ride to go home)

So day number 2, we went to Soak City instead. We had already gotten through the rides on day 1, and it was 90 degrees, so we thought the water park sounded fun. And it was. The slides were fun. But the long-ass lines of having to look at other people's hairy gross bodies, with mile-long yellow toenails, missing teeth, fat rolls and realize you're getting into the same water that they are soaking their bodies in. Hahaha, ewww. So we rode a few slides, went around the lazy river, hung out in the wave pool and decided to go to the main park. Well we rode a couple rides and realized it was so entirely hot, like unbearable hot, so we went back to the water park, rode a few more rides and called it a day. Fun trip, probably not worth the lots of money it cost, and we'll say goodbye for at least 5 years. We're going to try to take a weekend for our anniversary every year, and next year we're going to go someplace more secluded. We're thinking somewhere like pictured rocks.

2nd anniversary

Happy 2-year anniversary to me and Brett! Two years honestly flew by. We've been through so much together already. Through living in 3 different cities, working full-time, working part time, getting laid off, having scooter accidents and broken bones, going to school, struggling through homework, late-nights, band practices and shows, road-trips, hundreds and hundreds of movies at the theater, buttered movie popcorn, back scratches, blockbuster rentals, dishes in the sink, going to shows, singing songs together, walking the pier, being at the lake, riding tons of rides, going to every carnival, petting two black kitties, being with parents, making lots of new friends, keeping in touch with old friends, cracking each other's toes, lots of laundry, lots of pizza, lots of love, and so much more fun than we could have imagined. We have the perfect marriage for us.


I couldn't have found a better person, to spend the rest of my life with. He's my best friend of all time, and the greatest husband in the world. I'm super blessed to have found him, wooed him, kept him and forced him to fall in love with me so quickly.



Tonight, we went to eat at Porto Bello. We had our wedding reception there 2 years ago and I had never actually eaten there before. It was pretty good; I got a white pizza that was different. Afterwards, we went to see Julie and Julia. It was a really good movie; I really loved it. I loved the two husbands in the movie, it gave me a greater appreciation for amazing husbands.

Intense thunderstorms

Sunday, we had some major thunderstorms and wind in West Michigan! It started Saturday with some rain, thunderstorms and lightning, so Sunday, Brett and I were thinking that the waves would be amazing. So we headed to downtown Grand Haven to check it out, and traffic was completely backed up and stopped on Harbor Drive, because so many people were heading down to the beach. We parked and walked down to the pier; it was so insane. The waves were huge; they were completely crashing over the pier. We took a walk along the pier and walked through like 3 inches of water the whole way and waves kept crashing up. At the very end, they hit the edge so hard and splashed up.


So we walked back, went to grab lunch and headed out to Muskegon. Went swimming right near the dog beach (so many dogs!) and the water was pretty warm and the waves were awesome! We headed back home and watched a bit of a movie, until all of a sudden we heard the wind picking up. We were both standing by the slider looking out, when our white patio furniture flew from one side of the deck to the other side of the deck! So we ran around the apartment, closing all of the windows and doors and then it hit. It was so insane! Leaves being blown off the trees, trees leaning sideways because the wind was so insane. Brett stood outside for a second and it looked like he was back on the ferry again, the wind was blowing so hard. Then it was done after five minutes. We decided to drive around and survey the damage (probably a dumb idea, because some people died doing this) Power was out everywhere, trees down in the middle of the street, branches, leaves, trees uprooted, everything down. We got some ice-cream downtown, met up with Peter and went down to city beach. And it was amazing.


(walking down to lake michigan)



The atmosphere outside was probably the most amazing I've ever seen. The water was a green color because the sky was purple. It was raining, but the sun was still out and setting. If you looked to the south, there was a huge rainbow in the sky. Lake Michigan was like bath water; it was so warm. Brett immediately took off his shirt and shoes and dove in. The whitecaps on the lake were gorgeous, the waves, the sky. Everything was seriously like a dream; it was so pretty. We walked along the shore picking up pebbles that were brought up by the tide. It was amazing. I could never live away from the lake. Plus the dunes protected us from the tornado that hopped over and hit Fruitport. It's so insane what the storm did! The news is having a field day.
