Warm weather makes people do really fun things

Well time is just flying by in Midland! I only have about 3 weeks left here and I'm excited for all the fun things coming up! But I haven't been doing a good job of documenting what's been happening!!

Last weekend Tyler and I went to a wedding in Sterling Heights, Michigan. I didn't really know anyone at the wedding but I love weddings and excuse to wear a dress. We drove down Friday morning and did a little shopping at the Lakeside Mall that is in that area. Surprisingly I didn't buy anything! But apparently there are lots of good malls just two hours from Midland. We only walked around for a short time and then grabbed a quick lunch and headed to the hotel to change. Unfortunately, we weren't quick enough because we missed the ceremony. Whoops! The good news is that we made it to the reception and that's really the best part anyway, right?

The wedding was surprisingly fun! I mean, you can only expect so much when you only know your date. We sat next to a really nice couple at our table and Tyler knew some other fun characters. And there was TONS of directional dance songs (i.e. Cha cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle, YMCA, etc). I'd give the experience two thumbs up.

Saturday was a beautiful day! I spent most of it outside with my roommates playing frisbee, corn hole (which still needs to be painted but gets the job done) and just playing. We decided to grill out which is always an enjoyable experience. Then it was time to get ready for the evening which was my going away party! I made Caipirinahs which is a drink made from a Brazilian liquor called Cashasa. I don't know if I made them right b/c I don't remember what they're supposed to taste like but they tasted like magaritas.

After playing at the house for a while we headed to Bay City. We went straight to Westtown and danced it up for the rest of the night. I had such a good time and am really going to miss all the friends I made up here. Luckily I still have a few more weeks to spend with them and I won't be too far to visit!
Wendesday was Earth Day so Tyler and I went to go see Earth. For every ticket that was bought, Disney planted a tree so we like to think we did a good thing. And it's actually a really good movie. I would highly recommend seeing it. And if you can see it on an IMAX screen, even better. We didn't get to experience that but we would have if we could.


So that's it! Lots more fun things to come!
