Layers of a Sandwich: Michigan Photo Dump

I went home.
It was glorious.
This is a photo summary of my trip.

(I actually did a lousy job of taking pictures, and a lot of stuff was left out. Like when I was first greeted at the airport by my fantastic in-laws AND cider and donuts. No better Michigan welcome than that!! And my first meeting with my little nephew (my sister got a picture though, it's all good.) Or a picture with my younger sister, my oldest sister, my dad AND my grandparents. Or the delicious lunch out I had with my Mom (in-law) and brother (in-law). Or the awesome volleyball game I went to. Or the yummy pie Lindsay and I made...I'll have to do a better job next time)

Releasing Sky Lanterns at Julie's Church.

Me and my cousin, Livy

Group cuddle for fireworks

(These were taken at an event at the church Julie is working for. They had a concert/food/games/fireworks fun night. It was so much fun. And releasing those lanterns was SO COOL! Like not only a highlight of my trip, but probably a highlight of my year. They played "Light Up the Sky" by The Afters while we all lit and let go of our sky lanterns. I can't really describe it, but it was almost magical. Such a perfect night.)

MY NEPHEW and I, just chillin' on the couch. (I look kind of sick, but he's so cute that I figured no one would be looking at me anyways)

YUM YUM TREE. Best Brighton Restaurant EVER.

Katie and Me

(Katie is the bestest best friend in the whole world. We weren't able to meet up while I was on her side of the state for the weekend. So she surprised me and came to Brighton and spent a couple of days and a night with me there. Love her.)
