We headed to Michigan on May 14 and got to stay until May 18. What a great time we had! We were priviledged to get to stay with our adopted family...the Roger's. It was SO wonderful to get to spend time with them! We also got to go see Steve graduate from Michigan State College of Law. Heather also graduated, but didn't walk. It was great getting to spend time with him and his fiance, Heather. Graduation was Friday afternoon and then we got to go to dinner with Steve and Heather and a few other invited guests. Then on Sunday we were invited to a Sunday Brunch hosted by Steve's mom.
Thursday we spent with the Rogers and had a birthday party for Aaron and Danny.
Friday was Graduation up in Lansing.
Saturday we went over to the Jewell's house and surprised them...They had NO idea we were in town. Doug was smiles from ear to ear and Dinah was just beside herself. I'm glad we got to stop and see them. We also dropped in on the Brumbaugh's and spent a bit of time catching up with them and just enjoying the visit. Then it was back to Roger's house for an afternoon of just hanging out. Saturday nite we enjoyed dinner with the Richardson's.
Sunday was brunch at the Gandy Dancer in Ann Arbor. Then we ran down to Blissfield to spend an hour with our good friend Cil. We missed the chance to get over to the Hansen's house and spend time with them. That was the saddest part of all. But we did see Jenny, Paxton and Dana on Saturday and Thayne and Shelby at Church on Sunday.
Monday was our last day in Michigan. We spent it with Angie and the girls. Angie had flown to Utah for her sister's wedding on Friday and got home late on Sunday. So we made the most of the time we had with her. Lunch on Monday was at Logan's. Matt came over from work, it was a great lunch! Then later on Monday we went to Haab's in downtown Ypsi for an early dinner with friends from the VVA. John & Jane Kinzinger, Phil & Gena Hecker and Roy Hall all joined us for a quick bite to eat before we flew back to Georgia.
It was a quick trip, but very enjoyable. We missed seeing many people, but are very thankful for those that we did get to see. It is so nice to be able to hop a plane and be back in Michigan in under 2 hours. Even though I really hate the hassle of flying, it sure was wonderful to get there quickly!
