Michiganian, I am...

It's official! I can now add Michiganian to my resume!

From a Hoosier to New Yorker to Illinoisian to Michiganian, I have certainly gotten around!

No matter where you move, there is a certain point that you become one of them. It's something we've always said we won't do... but we always do. Today was my day.

I was traveling to Port Huron, MI today for a routine visit... talk about advertising, online content, etc. Then I got the opportunity to go to BolognaFest in Yale, MI. How could I have turned that up? BolognaFest?

Just the name took me back to my childhood. I remember having bologna sandwiches and fried bologna sandwiches practically every day. My mother said it was my grandmother who always made us eat bologna. Whatever the case... it was certainly a staple in my household.

So the ad managers decided to take me to the festival today for my childhood treat... and, treat it was! It had to be the best fried bologna sandwich I've ever had. Yale Bologna. I highly recommend it.

I was so excited about this that I was given the honor to wear the BolognaFest King crown. Yes, there's a crown. Apparently, the King and Queen are named for raising the most money to help fund the festival. For your viewing pleasure, I leave you with the photo.

In case you're wondering... it's a ring of bologna that's on the crown.

Enjoy!

Another month, another post...

I can't believe it's been a month since we last posted. How time flies...

I started my new job at the Lansing State Journal. It's going well... a lot of work! The worst part is just learning how everything is organized and structured and then changing it to what I think will be successful.

Jennifer and I try and see each other every other week; and, when we're together, it's really just the two of us. Nobody else really matters during that time. She's been to Michigan once and I just got home from Rockford tonight. It is really hard not to see each other every day.

We have had a ton of traffic on our house... but, we're always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Things have really slowed down over the past two weeks. We're hoping it's due to summer vacations and will pick up over the next couple weeks.

I've met with the waiting families group in Lansing. We typically meet for breakfast one time per month. They are a good group of people and will really be instrumental in helping us settled and welcome.

Change is good, right?
