For Ben and James

A little video from our trip to Petoskey, MI.

Petoskey, Michigan

A few weeks ago, Jake and I headed to the tip top of the mitten state to see our good friend, James, be married in Petoskey, Michigan. A friend's family owned a beautiful house right on Lake Michigan where we got to stay for a few days leading up to the ceremony. The scenery was so gorgeous I never wanted to leave! I could definitely get used to staying in northern Michigan.

The ceremony was beautiful, and we danced and talked and admired our surroundings all night. It was such a celebration of two wonderful people and the love they share. Plus, we met some great new friends that I hope we can go visit very soon. Don't you love when that happens?

Congrats to James and Ben! We are so happy for you.

 

 

 

South Bend Visit

This past weekend, Jake and I ventured up north to South Bend to visit our good friend James. I've been friends with James for over eight years, but have never made the trip up to his neck of the woods. It was past due! Jake and I really liked South Bend. Lots of neat restaurants, pubs, and shops. Of course we had to get in a visit to Notre Dame as well. I loved seeing James in his element and letting him be our guide for a weekend. Thanks for letting us crash at your place, Jamesus! We'll be back soon!

 

St. Joseph, Michigan

Our last stop on our Michigan road trip took us to St. Joseph, Michigan to visit with our good friends James and Chris. Chris lives in St. Joseph, the cutest little town that sits right on Lake Michigan. The beach area has a pizza shop housed in an old train station, a carousel, and all kinds of artwork lining the sidewalks. I'd love to head back here when the weather is a little more agreeable to really enjoy everything it has to offer.

Bon Iver

Mr. James and Chris made the trek down to Morristown to see Bon Iver live in concert last night. James is just in love with Justin Vernon, but I hadn't really followed him that much (except for the weekend cramming session of their new CD a few days before the concert). Usually I don't enjoy concerts that much if I don't know the band, but this one was different. You could just see the immense amount of talent from all of the musicians on stage. It was an amazing show. Plus, it was wonderful to hang out with two guys I don't see near enough. :)

The Murat Theatre in Indy is beautiful!
