Week Thus Far...

What an awesome week this has been to have my 2 younger brothers stay with me. Where to begin? After we met up with my mom we all hung out at BK for a half hour before loading up, saying goodbye to Mom, and driving them to MI. We were all pretty tired from the road trip so we had a relaxing evening just hanging out...The exhaustion may have led to us being a bit "slap happy."

I think waking up to these guys was one of the best things ever -- knowing
that it wasn't just a dream that they came to my home :-)

We took Ryan and Ethan to good ole' Downtown Plymouth to see
all the shops, hang out by the fountain, and get some ice cream!

Finding joy in the simple things :-)

While we were at Downtown Plymouth a wedding party arrived to take pictures! I've seen 4 separate wedding parties now that have come to Downtown to get their pictures taken and I find myself reliving my own special day time and again. This time it really hit me when the bridal party was wearing the color Clover I chose for my girls :-)

So there I am taking in the moment and trying to snap a few shots here and there, when one of the groomsmen motions for me to come over and take pictures! I'm thinking, "How cool would this be to get to take some wedding shots for fun?" I anxiously run over with my camera and he stops and poses...

So I confusingly shot the picture and he said, "That one's for you."
Disappointing.
I came back and told the story to the guys and Ethan's response to the groomsman was...

Definitely gave us all a good laugh.
I seem to miss the memo when a silly photo is getting taken...

Photobucket

Oh well :-)

Oh how I love these guys... They helped me so much this past year and ways that they may never know. They are a safe place to be silly with and go on adventures with and share your heart with.. I'm a lucky sister. I try to not let reality set in when I'm with them. I don't like to think about the 7 hour distance that keeps me from running into their rooms spontaneously or catching them on the couch playing a game and convince them to go outside with me on an "Adventure!"

Right now all I want to do is take in these moments with them.
So that's what I'll do :-)

Photobucket

I'll cross the bridge of reality when it's time.

After exploring Downtown, Lucas showed us these humongous homes nearby.

This one doesn't even seem like it would be a house...but it is.

I LOVE this one!

There is more to come but for now, goodnight to those of you who are interested in reading this blog! There is more to come :-) Also, I have a confession. I've recently gotten myself hooked on playing...tetris. I play every single day and some days I play one too many games of it... But here's a link to it if you wanna waste your time along with me! http://www.tetrisfriends.com/
