Home sweet Ionia for the weekend (9/19)

So Friday after chopping my hair I was off on a train to MI to see the fam. My train ended up being delayed.

My dad, sister, and Kiara picked me up from the train station in Kazoo. It was great to see both of them and Kiara. I miss her soooo much. She has always freaked out on the express way and always feels comfortable if she sits on your shoulder (yes - like a bird). Steph tries to train her not to do this but I always give in:-)


After getting home my mom, sis, and Melissa went to Walmart. I totally stocked up on anything and everything and ended up spending $125 - yikes. I never get to just wondering around stores, so I enjoyed it!


550 AM Saturday morning - I was up and ready to go fishing. Not talkative and chirpy but I was awake. It was just my dad and I headed to Crystal Lake! And it was a little chilly! I totally didn't come prepared (only had flip flops for shoes so i was cold - but when the sun started to rise it got warmer (but unfortunately it seemed that the fish weren't bitting anymore) So I caught a total of 4 that day and I think my dad caught about 6 or 7 (I probably could have caught more but i decided to take a little nap on the back of the boat:-) - I caught a couple of small mouths, large mouth and a pike! (and I will admit I did freak out a little when I had to grab the fish and it did fall - so sorry fishy but I am sure he/she is fine now. And since the pike have teeth I had to hold it by its stomach....ewww...




My dad and I were on a bit of a schedule b/c I had to get back to ionia in time for my nail appt! A nice mani and pedi after finishing makes for a great day. So my mom and I headed out to my favorite nail salon. It was nice and relaxing and definitly well deserved.

Saturday night we cooked for the family and my grand parents. It was great to see them. They have recently moved to an apartment complex with other seniors and I was unable to help them with their move so I felt bad. But after dinner I went to see the new place and its nice. I saw my cousin while I was there so it was a good night.

Once I got home Jared called and we went up to Gregorys for a few drinks. It was nice to catch up. And my dad and I had gotten in a little 'tiff' on Friday and when I talked to Jared about it he talked some sense back into me and I realized I was wrong too and I wasn't happy with the way that I had acted with a few things that weekend. We leave completely different lives (big city vs small town) and I just needed to realize that things are just different in both.

Sunday we were aiming to go to church but we all slept in! During the afternoon before heading to the airport my mom cooked up the corn dogs that she has got at the Ionia Free Fair ( in July) she had froze them b/c those are my favorite and let me tell you they were amazing!!!! She also made pancake batter fried blue gill (another favorite!) Then my mom, my sis, and Melissa were off to DTW (they were all dropping me off:-)
