Trip to Michigan

We spent this past weekend in Lansing, MI. Josh and Tessia had Tessia's cousing wedding, and since they were going to be so close, we went up on Friday and stayed until Sunday with them. We had a great time!! It was great to see them again. We miss them soooo much! Tom and Kristy (and the band) live in Grand Rapids, so Friday night, after getting to Lansing, we drove to Grand Rapids to see their house and where they live. We hadn't seen any of them since our wedding, so it was great to see them! We are really enjoying all the little mini vacations we have been able to take to the surrounding states. It is kind of fun being within an hour from 3 different states, especially since I have never been in this area of the US.
Saturday morning we had planned to get up early to Tessia and I could go shopping, but that didn't happen. So instead we went for brunch at Cracker Barrell with Tessia's parents. While there, Tessia and I were successfull in convincing Jeremy to stay another night, into Sunday. Originally we were planning on coming home on Saturday, but Jeremy couldn't say no to us :). So while Josh and Tessia were at the wedding, Tom and Kristy drove to Lansing and we got to hang out with them. Actually, Jeremy and Tom stayed at the hotel and played games on their computers (and we don't want to know what else), and Kristy and I went shopping! So that was fun, and pretty successfull. We both came out of American Eagle after getting very good deals. Then we all went and picked up Josh and Tessia from the wedding reception and went to eat at BD's Mongolian Barbeque. Why do we not have that in Wichita?!?! It is amazing! So eventually the night had to come to an end, and Tom and Kristy went back home, and then we pretty much just went to bed.
We had a great weekend!! It was great to hang out. I think we realized this was the first time we had all hung out as 3 married couples. So anyways, we really miss them!! Hopefully Tom and Kristy are going to come down to Indiana soon, and then we will see Josh and Tessia again in a couple weeks when we are home. And now, once again after an amazing weekend, we are back to reality, working and going to school again. But in just a few days Erin is flying in and will be here for a few days, and we are really looking forward to that! We can't wait to see everyone in just a couple weeks!!

if you would have told Cody that there's a BD's Mongolian BBQ along the way, he'd have driven me to see you two months ago. ;)
