A Kalamazoo Weekend

I spent this past weekend visiting my second 'family' in Kalamazoo. It was phenomenal! I pulled up to the driveway, got out of my car, and Mama J exclaimed "There's my other daughter!". :) Awwww! Before I began my drive north Susan had commented "I'd share my room with you, but you've got your own room in the house. And of course 'my room' was just as it was when I left at the end of last summer. It was unexpectedly comforting. :) It truly is another home. I loved having girly chats while prepping food in the kitchen, eating family dinners (including Sunday lunch with the grandmas!) and joining in on night time conversations around the table. Incredible!

Saturday night Sarah, Susan, Steffi and I went to a local community theatre to see a production of "Peter Pan". It was extra special since they knew several of the cast members. What a great way to spend the evening! Church on Sunday was marvelous. Wedged between Steffi and Suz I felt right at home. :) Suz departs for med school again at the end of the month. Hopefully this will be the year that I make it out to CO to visit her. As I've never been west of Iowa, that trip will be especially monumental. She has her exam schedule, I have my cross country meet schedule... now we just need to find a weekend that coordinates with both schedules. ;)

Mama J sent me home with a giant cool-whip container of MI blueberries. They're delicious... and half-gone. ;) Thanks Mama J!
