Dangerous Weekend

What kind of driver in a 24 hour period...???

1. Does a u-turn in the middle of a downtown Grand Rapids street
2. Runs two stop signs (one with cars present)
3. Runs a red light
4. Changes lanes in an intersection (in front of a cop!)
5. Makes an illegal turn from the wrong lane

That is pretty much a summary of my weekend with Jeremiah's driving. I definitely feared for my life. Despite the precarious driving, the weekend was incredibly fun. Meeting up with Nate and Jon Brewer, checking out the Art Festival in downtown Grand Rapids. Going to the beach... twice. And introducing the notorious Irish driver to some of my friends. Good times.

My advice is to ride with caution with Jeremiah.

Consider this my public service announcement to the rest of you. It might save your life someday ;)Publish Post

IT'S OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer's Here!

The fast from pop has lasted just over a week. I really cannot promise it lasting too long either. The weather is getting warmer, highs into the 80's. The factory is really warm during the day, and the ten hour shifts make me want a pepsi soooo bad. I know it is pathetic. But so long as I reduce my dependency on caffeine, and avoid drinking as much as I did last semester, I do not see the harm in drinking it. Although I do not want to be the first to cave in... this tortuous fast needs to end at some point right?

It is nice to be home for the summer in many ways. Working so much has enabled me to throw my energies into something worthwhile that pays well. At the same time there is just enough time to enjoy things that one cannot enjoy at Hillsdale. I've been to four of Nathanael's little league games now. For some reason he cannot seem to hit the baseball, so it has become my summer goal to teach him how to do that.

Random trips to the beach are also worth it. Props to Cassie, Krystle, and Sean for getting me out of my room onto the beautiful lake just in time to watch the sun set. That is one thing that I miss down at Hillsdale. The ability to drive to the beach... in less than a half hour.

This summer is going to be a good one...

The beginning of summer...

Today is the first day. The first in what could be a long run... or a short run. So basically there is only one person in the world that could convince me to do what I am doing. For some reason I am actually listening to her.
Grudgingly. But still doing it. No more pepsi. No more pop. Soda. Whatever the heck you call it.

Tomorrow work begins bright and early in the morning. I will be working at Fleetwood, a factory in Holland. Looking forward to what the summer is going to bring. Pray for me to survive the complete cut off of Pepsi.
