The GR

 Well Friday morning we packed our bags and headed to Michigan! On my to-do list before we left, I needed to send my letter to Celine that Shaun wrote. We explained our three cancellation-heart-breaks that we have experienced and included pictures of each event with a big fat sad face. I am sure nothing will come of it but we just wanted to write her to say that we wrote her! It was fun.

Even though we packed for only three months, I felt like we brought a ton. There was some talented tetris action going on trying to make everything fit. I'm obsessed with road trips so it was definitely a party. Shaun and I are listening to Enders Game before the movie comes out. Love me some Harrison Ford!

There is an art festival called The ArtPrize that is in Grand Rapids every year and it is the biggest one in the country supposedly. When we pulled up last weekend, downtown was a madhouse! It has been so fun for me though because I can just wake up, walk downstairs, and explore until I'm sick of walking. Everything is walking distance and there are seriously thousands of people everywhere. I love it. My favorite's have been the pieces that were made completely out of junk (like this dragon). These pandas were made entirely of tires.

And here is our nice little apartment. It has more of a hotel vibe than I thought it would but I still love it (even if I hate the wood look). To calm this germ freak's mind, we went out and got a sofa cover. The place has also been scoured with clorox wipes. Those things are my best friends. That carmel spice fall candle does the trick as well! We are loving this temporary adventure in a different place. It seriously is like a mini vacation (at least for Nicole :) 

Ps. ...Can you believe that little corner called the kitchen? I can't believe I was complaining about my minimal counter space back at home. I am going to go back to Georgia so excited to see that little counter of mine!
