MYIP: Week Twenty-Seven

THANKS for detouring this week to a new site!  I'm hoping we'll be back to xanga like normal next week.

Tuesday, July 3: Debbie and I spent some of our afternoon playing mini golf.  It turns out we're both pretty bad, so we were good partners.  Also good that no one else was behind us to get annoyed by our frequent mulligans . . .  :)  (Notice Debbie's high swing here.  Maybe this is why she shot her ball off the green so many times?)

Wednesday, July 4:  Happy Independence Day, America!  Holiday celebrations at the beach are a family tradition, and donuts, waffles, and potato bake made this one wonderful.

Thursday, July 5: Saying goodbye to Debbie at the Ford International Airport.  What a hot day, though!  Temperatures hit 107 degrees in Grand Rapids and made history -- highest temperatures since 1936!

Friday, July 6: A calm day on the water meant a perfect day for a kayaking adventure with my fiancé!

Saturday, July 7: Yes, folks, this is Lake Michigan.  Unseasonably hot hot hot weather was followed by big waves and intense under-toe.  I had to head in from being so tired, but here's Josh and Eric, riding the waves.

Sunday, July 8:  Thanks, Eric, for a nice shot of me making guacamole: a little taste of Honduras.

Monday, July 9: In my eagerness to get as many details nailed down before I go back to full-time teaching, I have been a little wedding-focused.  Hopefully it's not obsessively focused, just the super-excitedly focused . . .  It's been fun to plan everything, though, and we officially have a location and date for our wedding next year!
