Weekend Recap | It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

The most wonderful time of the year is officially here and we had a great weekend to kick it off!

Friday night we headed out with friends to Wixom for their "big" Holiday Festival... It was a little lackluster, but we still had a good time checking out all of the booths. Once we had had enough of the festival, we grabbed dinner at Wixom Station and then ended the night at Drafting Table Brewing Company where we watched my Western Michigan Broncos win the MAC Championship! ROW THE BOAT!

We spent Saturday evening with Thomas' parents and had a great time. This year we decided to gift our parents "activities with us" instead of typical gifts and I think we might make it a tradition. We started the evening with dinner at ROAK Brewing Company, where we had delicious pizza and Thomas enjoyed a beer flight.

Next up was Wild Lights at the Detroit Zoo, which was awesome! It was our first time going and we loved it. I could see it becoming a tradition.

Weekend Recap | Labor Day Weekend

Why can't every weekend be a holiday weekend? I wanted to take full advantage of my four day weekend and we did just that!

Friday | T and I headed towards Grand River Brewery in Jackson, but first stopped at my work so that I could show him the town, buildings, and where I go everyday. The brewery was nice and the weather was beautiful. Our next stop was the oldest Cider Mill in Michigan, Dexter Cider Mill. We each got a spiced donut and shared some cider. Both were delicious! We headed back to our apartment, took a little nap, and then headed to the gym. Leg day was a killer so we spent a few minutes in the sauna afterwards. The rest of the evening we watched the Michigan State football game.

Summer Recap #1

I figured before I can start writing about what is currently going on in my life I should post some of the fun things that happened while I was away. There are a few that I'll recap more thoroughly in the near future, but for now you'll just get a little sneak peak ;)

 The hangout area... as you can see a lot of alcoholic beverages were consumed!

 Our brand new SIX person tent... Yes I convinced my husband we needed that :)

Memorial Day Camping // We spent the weekend in Lansing camping with Thomas' cousins and their friends and we had a great time! I'm a little embarrassed to admit that this was my first time camping... can you believe it?! We discovered the greatness of Battle Shots, got our butts kicked at flip cup, and banged ourselves up playing volleyball. The weather was perfect and I can't wait to go again next year!

Columbus Zoo

Yesterday we headed to the Columbus Zoo with two of our friends. Since it's a 3.5 hour drive from our place we hit the road bright and early {6:30am!!!} and got to the zoo around 10am.
