Oh Michigan!
Thanksgiving with my family in Michigan was pretty cool. I never DID get to go to any cider mills but I'm confident I will find one sometime during my travels and it will open the floodgates of past memories. I'll enjoy that experience when I get to it.
Anyway, there was something like 15 people for dinner this year. Not so bad. Two Utahans came, including one who we all haven't seen in many years. It was good to have him there. Nothing like family sometimes you know?
I got a chance to catch up with a lot of people I had been meaning to catch up with for a long time. I also got the chance to miss out on catching up with a lot of people I have been meaning to catch up with for a long time. I broke yet another cell phone and, although I can send and receive calls, I can't see the screen of my phone so I can't retrieve people's numbers or get missed calls or text messages. This stank because it meant I had no way of getting into touch with two people I would have loved to see while I was in town before I moved out West. I can only hope that the Lord can make it good somehow in the near future. I do miss my girls in Michigan.
Spent some time in Ann Arbor and Keego Harbor. Got to play MAFIA with Mitch and that whole side of the "family" as well as get lunch/dinner/coffee/breakfast with many others. I feel like Paul... take that as you will.
Bought a new car. This worked out really well because I drove my old jeep upnorth and my dad bought it off of me and gave it to my brother to take to college with him for the winter. The timing worked out perfectly because his jeep that he had been driving for the past month or so decided to just shed it's drive shaft right in the middle of the road. The thing was on it's last mile anyway. So I picked up my new (used) Subaru wagon in Michigan and drove it back to Georgia a few days later. I absolutely love it... especially the part where it gets twice the gas mileage as the cherokee. ugh. Oh yeah, I guess Alaska approves as well. She seems to be more relaxed in the wagon than she was in the Cherokee. She's great in the car regardless, which is somewhat strange for a house cat, but I think the fact that the Wagon is a little quieter and smoother than the Jeep plays a big part in it. This is great for those of us cat owners that drive for days at a time just as often.
So, yea, that was my quick update on Michigan. I miss it dearly and I miss everyone there twice as much. Currently I am stuck in the gosh darn South again trying to get out of this apartment and get my gear together to move out West. Prayers are greatly appreciated...
