Michigan

I know I am crazy. I'll leave Friday afternoon from work, drive through the night to get to Michigan on Saturday and watch a football game... only to drive home on Sunday. But it is important to remember a couple of things:



1. I have been doing this since I was a kid. I don't think it is weird and I am very used to it.



2. I recognize this is crazy.



3. I love seeing people I care about and will do crazy things to make it happen.



So, in conclusion, I love going to Michigan to see my friends. I hope that this travel is something I can keep up for a long time to come. Do you think whoever I marry (if I marry) will be willing to drive to Michigan for football games?



Anyway, here is a recap from the weekend.



I went with my brother:

He is crazy enough to drive all that way with me. We had a good time in the car -- music, discussions about Real World/Road Rules Challenges, Cherry Coke, and lots of food keeps us quite happy.


We got to Jenn and Josh's around 3am, slept for a couple hours, got up and hung out with friends. For lunch these fun ladies:

plus Keli (who left before the photo) came and hung out. I love catching up with them, laughing with them and just being around them. The best thing about true friendships? That even if you only talk when you see them you still feel comfortable around them and that you just enjoy being in their presence. It is true with the ladies pictured above.


Afterwards, Jenn, Josh, Ross and I all headed to the game. As per my normal (remember last year's game?), it was cold and rainy. I didn't blog about it, but this also happened the year before... I don't get it. ANYWAY, cold and rainy, and we lost. Oh Michigan Football, why do you have to hurt my heart so much sometimes? I still enjoyed being in the Big House. I mean how could you not love this:

I look forward to going up for the Ohio State game in November. Blog world, do you think we'll win or lose? I am not holding my breath, but rivalry games bring out the best... from both teams!


Go BLUE!
