♡ Friday night after work I got talked into meeting up with Stace and Mike for TasteFest Detroit. I was kind of worn out and not feeling up to doing anything, but I'm so glad Pete changed my mind! We spent a couple hours of wandering around listening to good music and eating amazing food (the sushi was the best!!). Yes, you can say a lot of bad things about Detroit and I'm still sort of an awe-struck Yooper. But nights like this? The city is amazing and welcoming and fun. Afterwards we had a few drinks at bar closer to home. Then Pete and I ended up staying up really late having a heart-to-heart, which has been the best part of my week. I love that man.
♡ Saturday we met up with my bestie and her husband. It was their fifth anniversary!!! Holy crap, time flies. We BBQ'ed in the park since it was perfect weather, got ice cream, and then wandered downtown to watch fireworks. The fireworks themselves left something to be desired but the company was the best ever. Kris, baby? Seventy more years. Trust :P
♡ On Sunday we had (another) BBQ. This time with Pete's family. I got to meet one of his Aunt's for the first time, and she is just lovely! There was a little bit of drama, but that just ended up making me feel closer to the relatives that I like. Honestly, the whole situation made me feel really included - I'm so lucky to be joining this famiy!
I wish I had more energy to express how wonderful it all was, how much I enjoyed the friendships and sun. I know I keep saying it, but it's just flat-out true : this summer keeps kicking my ass with the wonderful.
Tomorrow night we leave for my hometown and my sister's wedding. I don't know how many people will be there, they're expecting craziness :) I miss my family. I miss the woods. I have a list in my head of things to share with Pete, since he's only seen my hometown under 4 foot of snow.
I'll be back with pictures and, I'm sure, some crazy stories.
July - onward!
