Family, Friends and PIZZA RANCH!

I have really enjoyed the past couple of days here in Michigan. Yesterday was a pretty relaxing day. Tami and I went shopping in the morning and at night we had a Breen Bash at the Veldkamps'. Typically these get togethers are quite loud and boisterous and last night was no exception. Many of us cousins enjoyed a rousing game of telephone pictionary which was only enhanced by the colorful (though at times mildly inappropriate) vocabulary of some of my cousins.

Today I got to see two very good friends. I had breakfast with my friend Katie from Camp Geneva and this aftenoon I met up with my high school friend Stephanie from Calvin. I had a lot of fun catching up with them.

Something I have been missing being away from Northwestern is working at Pizza Ranch. Believe me, no one is more suprised than I. Tonight, at long last, I had my first taste of Pizza Ranch since January. Thank goodness for the Hudsonville PR! It was so good! (But it pales greatly in comparison to its Northwest Iowa counterparts. Particularly in the clientele-as I drove in, some police officers zoomed up to some exiting patrons and got out their handcuffs to arrest the men.)

Tomorrow I have to head back to DC. I suppose it's time, but I have really enjoyed a week away from the city!
