End of the Season






My parents and I headed up to St. Ignace this weekend for a wedding just before the season officially ended for the town. We had a nice visit with family and it was neat being Up North so late in the season. We aren't usually up there in the Fall and even though most of the leaves had changed it was still really beautiful. We got to go to our favorite breakfast spot, Java Joe's, one more time, and the wedding and reception were fun. It is always interesting watching the girls waiting for the bouquet to be tossed, and this time two of the little girls were fighting over said bouquet. We stayed at my Uncles' motel on Lake Huron and woke up Sunday morning to a huge storm front rolling in.

The life of a cat





My cat has become more and more entertaining recently, I think I'm just easily amused. Anyway, here are a couple of him in his favorite cat house, which if you have a cat and you don't have one of these I recommend it they are about $8 from Ikea. There is also a shot from the Laugh Lounge an event that Campus Life puts on for students with local comedians.

Change we need rally - MSU









Last Thursday I got to see Obama in East Lansing. He came and spoke on MSU's campus, I skipped class to be able to go and it was really awesome. He was in Lansing once before and I missed it so I was determined to go this time. Frank got us tickets, and armed with my 200, we waited 3 hours in the cold somewhat rainy weather to hear him speak. Thousands of people crowded around the stage on Adams Field. Most of these are from when I was waiting for him to come speak. It was the first time I heard a presidential candidate speak live in my life, and I am really glad I had the opportunity to do it. I hope everyone registered to vote, the deadline has passed in Michigan. I'm not sure what it is in other states, but if you haven't registered yet DO IT! And if you are, don't forget to get an absentee ballot...it's really simple, I sent for mine and a week later I have already voted!
