This past weekend I finally moved into my new apartment. It was a real pain in the butt to get all of my stuff moved out of my storage unit and into this place but in the end it will be worth it. My friend Kayla and I got a 2-story, 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse just across the street from Grand Valley State University and we already love it!
Here are pictures of our living room, kitchen, my bedroom and my bathroom, which is located in my bedroom.The old "Kreu" got together at the beginning of the summer and made a list of things to do this summer since it is really the first time we have all been living in the same area for an extended period of time since we graduated three years ago.
There are hundreds of things on the list some simple (yoga, camping, movie nights), some are expensive (road trip, week in Chicago), and some are just weird (clog dancing, make a lemon powered clock)... then there was "make a drink called Summer Girls by LFO".
As of right now, my summer is 10 times better than it started off. It started off slow but now it's really getting going. I'm just really happy that we got my headache situation figured out and my allergies are back under control so now I'm not bothered all day with those things.
I have been babysitting and working for my uncle a lot. Him and my aunt sell their own line of jewlery and in the summer they travel all over the state for art shows and such. So I either go with one of them to a show or I babysit my cousins. I'd rather babysit because then I can go swimming all day!
My internship is busy busy busy and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Maybe it will though after the bike tour which is July 23-26.
Last week my parents and I went out to Grand Rapids to drop off furniture in my storage unit and I just wanted to stay. I still can't wait to move back.
And last night was the Wyandotte fireworks. I felt like I went to a circus freakshow, not the fireworks. I'm amazed by people sometimes. Lots of rednecks and scene sluts... oh, downriver you've gotten so much worse since I moved 3 years ago.
In other news... I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at the midnight premiere (it was real good) and I am now the proud owner of a venus fly trap.
I have a plethora of pictures on my phone from the summer as of last night, so here you go.
After a million fights with my insurance company and one problem after another, I finally got my Dolce and Gabbana glasses. So excited!
It's been a long time since I spent a summer downriver and I was really excited to spend so much time down here. Now I realize how much I took living out there for granted. I love walking through the campus at night and how quiet it is. And more than anything I just want to go to the beach in Grand Haven and have a picnic and lay in the sand and read.
The beginning of summer has gone really well so far (especially since Jordan's dad offered us pizza)!
The tea aisle in any grocery store is my weakness. I spend way too much time browsing through all the teas.
Today, all I wanted was Stash Fusion Green and White tea but they were out of it! I've been really obsessed with it lately and I only have 4 bags left so I really need to track some down and fast!
But I did come across some very peculiar teas today... laxative teas. I didn't know there was such a thing. Weird. At least they're organic.
Looking through my iPhone I found some pictures I didn't post for whatever reason so here goes. I'll explain in order.
1) Never put 16 foot boards out the back of a small bedded truck. Not safe.
2) Look close for those bright yellow socks with those slip ons. Good day at work.
Okay the rest are still on my iPhone so i'll just put up a couple quick designs I did in the last week.
3) Messing around brainstorming for number 4
4) Letter art using only the letter M
5) Everyday is get someone to blade day! 3 minute mess around text
Got my iPhone! So amped. It's been a good day. New stuff at the house kitchen table. Good day

My roommate, Kayla and I go to yoga classes on campus five times a week. Since I'm scared of getting ring worm from the yoga mats provided by the rec center, I went out and bought myself a pretty purple yoga mat. Sometimes I like to wear it on my back like a backpack and Kayla calls me Nicolas Cage because of how he wears the Declaration of Independence on his back in a tube in the movie National Treasure.
It makes me laugh every time I think about it.
