Michigan Living: Day 2

Today felt like the first 'real' day of life. Almost everything is unpacked, just a few boxes we aren't sure where they go yet. We also had to do some real life stuff: Wal Mart for some bathroom gear and the laundromat, which we haven't used since we were first married-- they've gotten even more expensive by the way; about $12 for 4 loads of laundry!

Then came dinner. It felt like it should be a celebration so we hit a BBQ place in Lansing (about 10 minutes away) called Smokey Bones. Super awesome food and even better advice framed all over the walls. Here's a couple favorites from the men's restroom:















Both Rebekah and Danielle have spent a bunch of time with some new friends running all over the church property and terrorizing the Northpointe office staff (Sue and Kristin- you're awesome!). Matter of fact, their first activity was to go picking wild raspberries from the area just behind our home. Not a bad start to a new life!

Em: Glad there's not boxes everywhere, and starting to feel settled. I'm enjoying the warm weather [Chris- so everyone from CA was talking about how humid it would be. I was thinking like Mississippi or the rainforest or something, but no way! We're all super cool with the heat!].
