After taking my final exam of my first semester of PA school, I hopped in the car and raced to Michigan where friends, family and the beautiful Michigan-lakes awaited me. The drive itself was torturous. I got stuck in a traffic jam for an hour and a half with only 5 minutes to the Michigan border. It nearly drove me to insanity! I was so close! But of course, it was all forgotten as soon as I was finally able to see very best friends that I have missed so much. It was wedding time!
Will and Anna Dunham's wedding was a perfect celebration. Everything and everyone was beautiful, the food and beverages were delicious and the band was fantastic. This winning combination of elements led to 6 hours of non-stop, unrivaled dancing. How I managed to walk the next day is still a mystery.
Aren't they gorgeous?! I just wish it had lasted longer than a day...
Yesterday was a fun day, as well. We went to my brother's to celebrate my nephew Nathan's third birthday. He and his big sister have more energy than any children I've ever met in my life and they love their Aunt Katie. I sure slept good last night!
After all the running around, I was really looking forward to a quiet day on the lake with Gabbie. I have always loved the water, but I never knew how much I would miss it after moving to lake-less Ohio. Being away has made me think that Michigan winters might not be so bad as long as I can have a summer on the lake. Nothing compares to this...
While we were there today, Gabbie and I made some new friends. Two little girls named Anna-Sophia and her sister Emerson. They were 6 and 3 years old. We played for 2 hours, laughing at Gabbie, swimming and building sandcastles. I could have played with them all day and I'm pretty sure Gabbie would have liked the same. She was so good with them. Every time Anna-Sophia would swim away from shore, Gabbie would swim out and bring her back. It was precious :)
I'm just not sure if 5 more days of this will be enough!
