Island Beats

The Island is always noisy. Between the horses, the boats, the tourists, the bikes and the fort... its loud. At the store we are usually listening to 60's on 6 from XM radio, today however we got to listen to Jimmy Buffet and Lady Antebellum. It got me thinking of other songs that I like... here are a few! Enjoy!!

Jake Owen- Barefoot Blue Jean Night

Oh Land- Son of a Gun

Jason Aldean- Dirt Road Anthem

Adele- Rolling in the Deep

Lady Antebellum- Our Kind of Love

Eric Church- Homeboy

Natalie Cole- This will be

How many Michigan State students does it take to change a lightbulb?


Well, we are more than halfway through this Mackinac adventure and I finally got a visit from my parents and grandma! They only spent 24 hours here, but it was great to see them. Sending them off on the boat made me want to go home, but I took a long walk back to the condo (getting a little bit lost in the woods), and I am back to happy, loving the beauty all around me. Also, they brought up a dozen chocolate muffins, so I have some consolation even after they left me.
Work is pretty much all we do here. I think we all like our jobs, and when we get off we come up to the condo and chill. Apparently we are not a very rowdy group of college girls. The biggest event of our night is the sunset, which is gorgeous.
Today on my meandering walk home I got a little lost in the woods and came upon a pile of rusty junk. There was the hood of a car, a large metal Western Union sign, and a bike tire stuck in a tree. How did a car get up here? I took a picture, because the trash was actually really pretty.

Now, I need to start planning dinner for Mexican Monday!
