Home Sweet Home

The last few days were spent in glorious bliss in my true hometown, Traverse City, MI. Despite living there for just a few years, I have grown a love for this place that is so unlike every other. My best high school friends are all from this lovely little city, and I was fortunate to spend a mini vacation of sorts with them...even some out-of-towners from Florida and Los Angeles.

We planned on boating, floating, and sunning all weekend long, but autumn-like temperatures prevented us from doing so. However, we donned some sweaters (my poor packing skills sometimes do come in handy) and made the most of things, catching up with old friends and playing with lots of new babies. I think you'll be able to see that we managed to have a fabulous time...


Jess & Christina with baby Madelyn

Jeff & Grant playing Cornhole...who knew a game with that name could be so entertaining?

The Colling's Lakehouse, my home away from home.


Captain Jeff leading the turtle hunt with the little girls.

Landon...shortly before he plummeted from the swing :(

Kjersten & I

The Wicksall Cabin...if these walls could talk, we'd all be in A LOT of trouble...

Jess, Peter & I

Jess, Lacey & I...best friends, no matter how far apart.
