Sun, Rain, Floods, Snow?

There are many perks to living in Michigan; the beautiful summers on the lake, gorgeous sand dunes, historic Mackinaw Island, and the magnificent fall leaves changing colors and falling to the ground. However, there is no way to prepare and dress yourself for Spring. 

Most would think of Spring as being warm and wet, a nice spring jacket paired with the ever so adorable rain boots. (Northface womens rain jacket and Green Evedon womens rain boots)

 

In Michigan this assumption does not apply. In the past two days, I have experienced 60 degree weather, tsunami rain storms, floods, and snow. Not only do I hate the weather, but I also don't know what to wear! My wardrobe is super confused at the moment. How does one dress for this?

Yes, that is a flooded house, from the river to the main street, with snow on the roof. ugh. 

Well, as I head out for my best friends wedding shower in a few hours, I will strap on my winter gear, put on my sunglasses, pull out my kayak, and paddle down the road to her house to celebrate the upcoming nuptials :) But at least I will try to look good doing it! 

P.s. I just want to give a shout out to my newest obsession. The Gwyneth Paltrow cookbook! I highly recommend to go get it! It is AMAZING! 

Friday Letters

Dear Friday, I am so excited to see you because it means I am done with my first portion of student teaching and the college of education!!! All I have left is one last semester of student teaching in the fall and I am done! 

Dear Students, I was so sad to leave all of you on wednesday! I did appreciate the wonderful cards, the pictures, the hugs, pencils, and adoption contract you all drew up in order to adopt me :) This is definitely going to be the hardest part of teaching, saying goodbye at the end of the year. These are the little goody bags I made. Each student got a cookie, pencil, a written letter, and Takis (which are gold to them). 

Dear Rain, Please stop! This is getting ridiculous! I understand the concept of April showers bring May flowers, but I am getting nervous about the abundance of flowers this spring! Literally, we had to close down school yesterday for floods and power outages!  

Dear Erin, I am so excited for your wedding showers this weekend! I can not believe how close it is getting to the big day! Hopefully you love all the gifts you are about to receive :) See you tomorrow and Monday for the big day! 

Dear Greys, whoa! I have to tell everyone that I am a week behind on Greys anatomy, so I have not seen last nights episode yet, but the past two weeks are killing me! Dr. Baily? Why? Also, who is with me about Jackson and Keptner getting back together!?! p.s. Scandal, come back soon! 

Also, prayers to Boston and the many victims suffering from this tragedy. Have a blessed Friday.
