The Lake House
Yesterday afternoon I accompanied Sarah and Mark to Sarah’s uncle’s lake house in Commerce Township, MI for a little pre-Labor Day fête where I got to hang out with Sarah’s amazing family. We spent part of the afternoon catching up with one another (while the boys lamented the outcome of the U of M football game) and supped on some of the best BBQ I’ve had in a long while. As the twilight set upon Lake Sherwood, Sarah’s uncle David took us all out for a boat ride around the lake:

It was just the perfect day, the perfect afternoon. I also have to send out some anniversary love to Lisa and Pat (Sarah’s aunt and uncle) who were celebratin’ their wedding anni yesterday (they’re the cute couple at the end of the pics above) I really love hanging out with Sarah’s family … I’ve been going to their family functions for years and it’s always so nice to feel so included.
This afternoon, almost everyone we know here in Michigan is coming out for a pre-Birthday party for Sarah’s birthday (which is next week). Sarah planned the party to be early so that I could attend (since I won’t be here for her actual birthday). It promises to be a pretty fun shindig. Party prep has already begun so I gots ta get finished and get to celebratin’. Hope y’all are having an equally amazing Labor Day weekend :)
