Fourth of July Weekend

There are a thousand things to love about America. One of my favorites would be National Holidays! The 4th is Adam's favorite holiday. He likes it more than Christmas! So we did exactly what he wanted to do, that he has done with his family for years. We spent the long weekend in Northwestern Michigan. For those of you who have never been to Michigan, did you know it was this beautiful? We had fun the whole weekend. To start, Adams parents stopped by the house to pick us all up, we all drove together...in the motor home! It was so nice, we layed around and played games, read magazines, napped, and ate ice cream. Walter loved it too. I felt a little silly at first when that giant motor home rolled up, blocking ours and the neighbors driveway, with a trailer on the back soon to be holding 4 motorcycles and 2 bicycles. I think we took everything but the kitchen sink! We spent about 45 min. to an hour loading the motorcycles, strapping them down, and all the other stuff we had to take. Guns, ammo, suitcases, backpacks, purses, helmets, motorcycle jackets, etc. I didn't think we would ever be done loading and strapping. It was the most pain free traveling I've done in a long time. (Even though I got an entire empty row on the airplane a couple weeks ago on the way home from Lindsay's wedding, even though the rest o the airplane was almost completely full... I got lucky AND took advantage of it; I had no shame stretching out on my back with a pillow-aka:stuffed backpack and a book). When we got to Grandma Lois' house, which is where we stayed, we unloaded all the stuff and went straight to bed. Adam really likes to go back to his childhood ways when he goes to G. Lois' house. He insisted on sleeping on his (single-person) cot in the basement. I was OK with that though, I wasn't about to share an air mattress. Ever slept on an air mattress with someone who was heavier than you? We only had Grandma Lois' 5 seat car since no one drove, so I rode on the motorcycle to church with Adam. I had my dress on, and my sweatpants, and my jacket, so I looked like I was wearing a nightie and sweats. I'm sure it was a site. At least I didn't wear my heals until I got there. Remember all the flooding that has been happening all over last month? We came upon a road that was completely washed out! We couldn't help but wonder how scary it must have been for the first person who discovered the giant gap in the road. It was impossible to drive around, we had to turn back. It was a good weekend, we had a lot of fun and will probably do the same thing next year. Don't worry family...that gives me dibs on the where and what for Christmas.

Oh...about that 6 words that sums up my life...I keep forgetting to think of something...here is what I came up with in about 5 seconds that pretty much sums me up in a very vague way:

Eh... I'll Worry About It Later!
